From the editor’s desk …
Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live. Gianni Versace

One of the great surprises of this fabulous, action packed week was that I was interviewed this year. Very exciting!
After many challenging years and the demise of some great labels across the industry in recent times, this year I felt a new energy and a tangible, emergent excitement!
Anyone who knows me is aware of my passion and devotion to the Australian industry, its designers and creatives at large.
Of course, I have a great love of all fashion, globally. I am firmly of the belief however, that we have a serious, hot bed of talent in this country. Our uniqueness and mastery on the world stage is now recognized, sought after and appreciated.
An event such as this, is one where people live and breathe their love of the industry. Long, laborious hours of designing, creating, collaborating, planning and organising are necessary to create the masterpieces that walk these runways.
I was so proud to watch our home grown talent up in lights and applauded by the Australian industry professionals this past week.
Can’t wait until 2016!
