Birds of a Feather

Fashion week has been fabulously full on. I learnt so much at one of the free fashion workshops (post coming soon) The shows have been really great. Tomorrow night my twin sister is joining me for the "Senso Uniquo" show 4. We are expecting something a little bit darker and avant-garde. I thought I'd share what Im planning to wear - including a fresh set of feather hair extensions from Flockstock.com

My new Cambridge Satchel arrived from Hong Kong today - perfect timing. I also ordered some hand dyes to have a play with some of the pieces from my Spring collection - which still has NOT arrived from the manufacturer!! ahhh!)

ASOS blue bracelet / red cuff from Florence market / Enamel earrings from a vintage store in New York (i've never worn them) / Zara sweat

100% Extra fine High Waisted skirt - One of my Spring Samples - Inbox me if you would like one in your size $60 incl postage

The feathers are amazing - and permanent! Saci used a ghd on these, and they can be washed and cared for the same as your normal hair

Sephora nail polish in lilac, and a t-shirt I picked up in New York for US$1! It is my most regular shirt on rotation

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...

Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture. Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time
