Fashion – Sydney

Growing up in NSW’s rural Southern Highlands, I spent a lot of time surrounded by nature’s beauty, however the cold weather kept me inside a lot of the time. I used this time to dapple in any creative field I could find; painting, drawing, sewing and making, just to name a few. Soon all of these hobbies seemed to merge together into one dream... Once my Nana’s mannequin took residence in my bedroom, there was no turning back. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Design majoring in Fashion at Raffles College of Design and Commerce in Sydney in my third and final year. My design style comes from my love of nature and my passion for the seemingly forgotten craft of hand-making. I also have a deep desire to improve the state of this beautiful planet we live on, which is why I am very passionate about sourcing sustainable and green materials where I can, as well as supporting ethical workmanship.
