2011 Resolved

During my lunch break today I took some time to reflect on the last 12 months. The years honestly fly by. It seems that yesterday I was walking through the freezing cobblestone streets of Florence as the first snow flakes started to fall... my first white Christmas 2010. Now I sit in my living room. 30+ degree's with full humidity, 4 hours til the ball drops.
I made it to a quarter century on my [our] March Birthday, released my first Spring / Summer collection in October, started a facebook page with 179 fans [I love you all!], moved back to Melbourne from Italy, returned.... 3 times.... 149 blog posts, 16,229 blog visitors [Thank You sooooo much for your support] 678 hypes on lookbook, 1 amazing orange Cambridge satchel from ebay, two parking tickets... and I sold my car Last year! I fell out of a tree yesterday, just in time to make the list
I made some great new friends, fell more in love with my old friends, spent not enough time with any of you... Your on the top of my list for 2012... yep You! :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Hope everyone has a Fabulous night xxx

This collection is about honoring my roots in intricate beadwork while embracing sustainable practices and modern elegance. My design process starts with textiles, and my palette has evolved into a rich tapestry of verdant hues—lush greens, earth tones, metallic blues, and soft greys. Sustainability remains at the forefront, with natural fibres, ethically sourced Thai silk from my travels last year, and upcycled fabrics from local op shops. Faux fur, a treasure from my decade-old fabric collection, adds a layer of texture and nostalgia. Embellishments will include...

Drag Me to Bingo

A growing archive of event posters I’ve designed for Buttery Chard’s Drag Queen Bingo - where camp meets Canva and every theme is a new visual playground. I draw inspiration directly from the queen herself and the show’s ever-changing themes: from flapper glam and Queen Bey’s  Cowboy Carter  to Christmas chaos and retro ‘80s realness. Each poster is created using Canva, guided by a strong intuitive eye for graphic detail - a skill I didn’t learn, but one I’ve always had. (That said, I’ve since paired my natural instincts with formal training in design elements and principles.) Where I like to think high Camp meets Helvetica  The Queens At the heart of Drag Queen Bingo is Buttery Chard , the dazzling alter ego of my dear friend Ryan. One of the things I’ve always admired about Ryan - long before the wigs and lashes - is his deep commitment to inclusivity. He has this effortless way of going with the flow, letting his community lift him up, which in turn lifts everyone arou...
