If you could say it on a T shirt

The illustrated Tee. I sketched this image one late night in Italy after pouring over editorials. I was working on wedding dress designs for a friend, so drew a princess backless cut, fitting with the cascading locks. I love this illustration so much that I have the original A3 framed in my bedroom When deciding which of my hundreds of illustrations would go on my Spring/Summer'12 T, this was a no brainer choice. I gave one to Saci, and these are the snaps - styled her way + what inspired her 100% Pure Cotton which is woven in a super soft jersey with slight stretch. The print is heated into the fabric, so will not crack or peel, and will only fade over time - which I think will only add to hand drawn charm of the image It's available in size Small to Extra Large Price is $60 AUD  Free Postage Australia wide ($12 International Shipping)  Delivery is Approx 7 days Easy Checkout here: Size Small$60.00 AUD Medium$60.00 AUD Large$60.00 AUD

Cheyenne (The Photoshoot)

You might remember a couple of months back we did a mini shoot with our gorgeous cousin (here ) who was visiting from QLD. It was one of those last minute throw plots... I picked her up from her hotel, made her a cup of tea, and before she could finish, was ushering her into my designs so she had not a chance to reconsider. She's one cool cat, and although she has a great mop of hair, we had to wig her up, pulp fiction style  Cheyenne is wearing designs from my A/W'12 collection, available here  See full post by clicking below  ☟

Illustrated fashion

Spring is right around the corner - I saw it on the tree outside. New leaves starting to uncurl, bright and glossy. You wouldn't think it judging by this harsh winter winds... I wanted to do a really well cut basic printed T Shirt for the Spring collection. I've used my infamous blog banner illustration, and the print is so precise and beautiful. I would go as far to say it is far better than my original drawing! It's certainly pre Spring, but I couldn't wait to share this 100% Pure Cotton which is woven in a super soft jersey with slight stretch.  The print is heated into the fabric, so will not crack or peel, and will only fade over time - which I think will only add to hand drawn charm of the image It's available in size Small to Extra Large Price is $60 AUD  Free Postage Australia wide ($12 International Shipping)  Delivery is Approx 7 days Easy Checkout here: Size Small$60.00 AUD Medium$60.00 AUD Large$60.00 AUD

she pulls weird faces

This is Saci. She's the 1 of 2 (15 minutes younger makes me the 2 of 2). She doesn't pose for the blog much. Mostly because she pulls weird faces. She's got great style, and knows how to work a camera... and most tech essentials like computers (and all the wonderful things it can do - websites etc). Basically she has all the qualities I do not. I thought I'd post a few random outfits she's been known to trot around in

Paint it Purple

When I spotted Saci's new colourful hand woven rug, such was the urge to have one of my own, that we headed straight out for the nearest Iskha. Its like Byron Bay in a store! and everything was half price...

frail details

I found these treasures buried in my "good" jewellery box, you know the one with grandma's old pearls and emeralds. They were a gift from my beautiful sister in law. Silver hand spun earrings with pearls and glass. They are so delicate. Also wearing the Dylana blouse from my S/S collection - available here

July Blues

We get it, its Winter, but these past 2 weeks has me questioning why we built a city in such an unfriendly climate, or why on earth I live here... but than today came and brought the sunshine, and it was liveable again. While out and about picking out fabric samples, I snapped these city scenes. I was in a pale blue and gold mood, and the city was my matching accessory Wearing Carla Zampatti coat I DIY'ed / Zara Knit / Stradivarius Jeans / Bata shoes

insta-week

I heart instagram. Its like Facebook, without all the whinging, or twitter with pics. It makes boring things fun. It keeps me entertained on the tram, and while I'm drinking tea. I like your instagrams too. Instagram: @RadaPriya
