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!

summer 2011

These shots are all of my signature line Megan Salmon for summer 2011.  This collection is limited edition and only available from my studio -55 queen Victoria St, Fremantle.  The shots were taken by Slotbox photography of model Rebecca.  I am really pleased with these shots.  Alberto(photographer) has managed to capture the fluid essence of these clothes and there is a high end style that compliments the quality of the make and the cloth.  I will be showcasing this collection in the Designer Collections show as part of the Perth Fashion Festival. 24th September at Fashion Paramount.

the colour society





Last Sunday I gave a short presentation of my relationship with colour to the Colour Society here in Perth. It was a great chance to look at my work from another angle. It gave me a fresh perspective on the directions I have taken over many seasons of fashion and it also made me aware of my fierce connection with colour. It may seem more obvious to others that it has played a major role in my work but funnily enough it has been such an intuitive response for me that in many ways I have downplayed its importance. It is always good to recap on the past in order to move forward.
