the dreamers

These are all shots from 'the dreamers" which was a great little show held on Nov 14th at the Moores Building in Fremantle featuring designers from the Fremantle fashion collective, of which I am one.  The show was beautifully styled and directed by Hannah McGrath, she is a talent! and was supported by DCA and the Perth Fashion Festival.  I am really pleased with the response I got on the night and I was showcasing a number of spring summer 12/13 pieces that I feel particularly proud of.  The hats I made from felt to add to the whimsy of each design.
many thanks to Songy Knox and Alberto Caielli for taking these pics

winter 2012

this was a little video made of my winter 2012.  It features a gorgeous girl, Bec and was made by Andrew Lelong.  I really like Andrew's choice of music because it feels as gentle as the mood that Bec projects.  These clothes are a mix from both of my labels..upstream by megan salmon(available nationally) and megan salmon which is only available from my studio in fremantle.

beautiful shots

these shots were taken by Jody Pachniuk and styled by Emily Howlett of model Kim Wainscoat.

I am so impressed by these shots.

The clothes are very special to me, They are archival pieces of mine that illustrate my love of sculpture and organza.  Kim is a sensational model!

threads

Threads was a parade as part of Perth Fashion Festival where Fremantle fashion collective designers got to strut their stuff in the Fremantle Town hall 24 and 25th September 2011.  The show was beautiful to watch with wonderful drawings of the designers shops featured as a backdrop. My intention here was to show pieces from my label 'upstream' which features a lot of original prints and has an exotic edge to it.  I chose the boldest colours for the show and teamed them with vintage trimmed obis, belts and tutus to give it a carnivale-like effect. 
All pics here were taken by Songy Knox who recently declared that she wasn't a photographer..but clearly is an exceptional amateur!
