Fashionation

I was very privileged to be part of the big fashion event in Cooma – Fashionation on 30 April.  The focus of the show was on wool.   The show was held in the Litchfield’s wool shed Cooma.  My first collection of eight pieces were all in wool and the second collection on wool silk blends.  It was a very intensive time leading up to the event and a long day on the day but I really enjoyed it.  Most of my pieces were dyed with local plants.  Many were eco printed.  Several were dyed using indigo using shibori techniques.  To see some of my pieces from the event click here.

I was very grateful to all the models, who were local girls and guys who were prepared to showcase my work.  Also a big thank you to my friend Flora who was always there to help and support me even though she was also extremely busy as a designer at the show showcasing her beautiful furs.  Read more about it in a write up by Leiden magazine.
