Last night we were spoiled rotten with a dinner at Fratelli Paradisio hosted by designer friends, Camilla Freeman-Topper and Marc Freeman, of camilla and marc.
If Jenny Kee were to design the Australian landscape, this is what it would look like. Her scarves wrapped high as turbans and branches balancing on model’s heads, the prints transforming effortlessly from the pieces into the surrounding bottlebrush. Jenny and Anna were in her signature waratah red (Romance Was Born styled the show).
Anything different this season? We have been experimenting with laser-cutting prints into super-fine leathers to create new textures, have pushed our artisans to create new depths and dimensions of sequins.
Where’s your head at right now? We wish we knew…they’re always all over the place!
What gets you through fashion week? We’re not sure yet as it’s our first time but we’re very lucky to have such a great team on board, we would have been lost otherwise.
What are you wearing today? Top to toe Aje. The Gwendolyn mini maxi (short at the front, long at the back) dress in tweed print from our AW12 collection and Aje Balago Boots.
Tech addiction: Unfortunately we’re a little technologically retarded but we’re trying our hardest.
Anything different this season? This is our first Australian Fashion Week so everything is going to be visually strong and very bold! We will bring the range to life on stage in a polished, fresh way, which will evoke pure summer.
What are you wearing today? My standard office uniform: bed hair, an oversized tee, converse and my faithful silver jewellery. Jeremy always seems to live in black skinny jeans, nautical inspired tees and his favourite boat shoes that generally live under his desk.
What keeps you in Australia? Sydney has magic to it that a lot of other cities don’t have.
Tech addiction: We have every tech addiction there is and why wouldn’t we, our very beginnings are based around the digital new age.
