whitewash

Modelling for my model. You might remember the face of my most recent Spring Summer Lookbook - the lovely Samantha - when the roles were reversed, and she asked me to pose for her, I couldnt be more happy. The shoot was fun and relaxed, and her talents equal her natural ability on the other side of the camera. These are a few candids of the day, which I think represent beautifully the nature and intimacy of her style of working.
Shopping for bridal gown ideas at Anna Campbell in Brunswick - we got to meet Anna and try her latest collections. Big congratulations to my twin sister on her engagement, who has chosen me (naturally ;) to make her gown -  Watch this space as the wedding plans progress

Faux fur, a treasure from my decade-old fabric collection, adds a layer of texture and nostalgia. Embellishments will include...

The Man I Was Taught to Fear

There are people we grieve twice in a lifetime. Once for who they were. And once for who we were never allowed to know. My father is one of them. When I was a child, my mother told me he was a paedophile. She didn’t whisper it. She didn’t hesitate. She said it plainly, as fact. As warning. As control. When we misbehaved, she would drop us at the greyhound station and force us to spend sleepless weekends with him. I remember the noise of the station. The way my stomach would knot. The terror that would sit in my chest at night when the lights went out. I was absolutely terrified to sleep. He was a workaholic. Twelve-hour days. Long hours. Absence disguised as provision. He would leave cash on the bench, stockpiles of food in the fridge, and the television on - a wild luxury I couldn’t enjoy because fear had already moved in. At home with my mother, we weren’t allowed a TV at all. Looking back now, my father was unemotional, but never unkind. He didn’t ask questions. He didn’t offer hims...
