"seed"
Well, life has thrown me some enormous hurdles over the last 6 months, on top of moving interstate with 3 children on my own.
I feel, finally, that we are regaining some of our rhythm.
breathe in, breathe out
The construction of ideas and design behind "seed" has been a little slower than anticipated but I will have a 'collection' of sorts to unveil in the new year.
I am very excited at the prospect of realising a dream and seeing it come full circle.
From an idea to sketches to fabric choice to a completed garment.
My clothing has been designed thoughtfully with 'simplicity' being the focus behind the "seed" label.
Being a mum would have to my most frustrating yet soul replenishing job.
It is also my absolute inspiration, married with a desire to see less tastelessness in an environment that has been imbued with immodest, noisy clothing.
