Michelle Jank and Tanya Linney…. ex models unite
I asked Michelle Jank (designer) if she’d team up with Tanya Linney (Photographic Artist) in Perth to shoot her Flight Collection as it launched at Elle Boutique Tuesday evening.
Michelle’s latest jewellery collection for Fairfax and Roberts is available exclusively at Elle Boutique in Perth for 2 weeks before it returns to Fairfax and Roberts mid April.
Below the collaboration of two beautiful, creative and extremely passionate artists….
While Tanya was taking pictures Michelle flashed back to memories of herself and Tanya being models at age 16 in Perth, working on terrible night club shows. “Tanya was as quiet as a mouse, I’m sure I was no better! Funny where paths lead and where they twist and turn…the magic of life really. Thanks Romy for a nice opportunity for a reunion.” Michelle Jank
The Flight Collection is birds designed to look in flight and suspended on fine chains in different combinations of white gold, diamonds and black rhodium plate and black diamonds. “Its about lightness of spirit and freedom, my bird pendant goes everywhere with me. Its my good luck, I barely take it off.” Michelle Jank.
Michelle also designed in Paris (her residence) a debut collection of couture gowns especially for the Elle launch.
Currently Sydney Based Photographic Artist Tanya Linney has been spending the last six months in Western Australia working on her upcoming exhibition “Wear and Tear” scheduled for November 2010.
