It is literally a cluster of L O V E featuring , , and
I worked in with the newly dressed dais cover, in my FAVOURITE backdrop shade of Pastel Blue 🙌🙌 and wanted to celebrate the up and coming day of love with forever classy & desirable florals.

I sourced and personally selected all the pieces here to create the support propping arrangements. Whilst floristry is not my forte, I was delighted to discover where I walked the isles to select this collection of gorgeous artificial florals.😍
Feeling the love….and a bit of lunar new year too!😉 ❤️🐯❤️

Earlier in the year I was commissioned to come onboard with an amazing project by and their initiative. �This ‘Splash-A-Fash’ program is a multifaceted platform to create a supportive and marketed community for our local and emerging fashion designers! �Sadly, because of the Coronavirus all things have understandably has been put on ice for the moment.
⠀⠀
My post today is of one the many hand-made, designed and installed pieces I created on the request of who is the Wiz-Kid at the wheel, and who kindly asked me to provide some visual ‘vision’ for this project�I will reveal more of this work in the coming months.👍
⠀⠀
This image of our illuminated drapes are from the interior of the Splash-A-Fash destination boutique. This vacated tenancy in the Central Market Arcade, adjacent to has been decked-out and revived to physically host the many moving parts that this program will offer.
⠀⠀
My job was to reimagine the space and existing fixtures, and coordinate, design and create new fittings and decor to provide an amp’d-up and visually captivating place. In doing so I needed to provide flexibility and multi-functional pieces, that will accomodate each participating designer, community gatherings and also the visiting public.

My immense thanks to my beautiful Mumma and HERO for her skills and expertise in helping me create these bespoke curtains and for seeing-out my “big idea’s’🙏
Word to the wise….sewing meters of crushed velvet is not for the faint hearted! We’ll forever share that experience Mum!🙈😛

Well….these gorgeous, all glossed-up beauties will be making a re-appearance soon in the mall at Unley Shopping Centre!👏👏��In late 2019, I had the absolute privilege of working again with Robyn, the Centre Manager at Unley. Robyn saw the simple but consistent benefit of having a permanent mannequin grouping presented in the mall, to showcase the fashion retailers garments as they rotate through new collections.🙌
YES!!
⠀⠀
Robyn engaged me to help her find some different and high-quality mannequins, that would be somewhat unique to her Centre. I sourced out a number of styles from multiple overseas suppliers and we ended up choosing a collection of bespoke mannequins, that I haven’t seen displayed here in Australia....as yet!🤞
It’s one of the elements of my work that I love….to source and create a personalised and tailored collection of purposeful pieces that serve the centre community for years to come!
�Whist engaging with Robyn during the process, I took the reins and coordinated all elements to get them here, including coordinating the manufacturing, shipping, importing, delivery and to the final and exciting part….installing and introducing them to their new home!!😜�
These delightful girls are modern in design, yet classic and respectful to any age demographic that may feature on and adorn them!
⠀⠀
I’m looking forward to seeing you all again soon and hit the re-set button.
I’ve missed you all there at Unley.🤗
