Large Update of Recent Projects

The first question on your lips is probably...what have I been up to lately? The past two months have been quite hectic, exciting and crazy.

FASHION FILM

I was approached a little while ago by a group of university students who study New Media Arts, about using my clothes for a fashion film they are producing. Needless to say I jumped at the opportunity and felt so grateful that they had chosen to use my designs! 

This talented group of people have been working hard to produce an amazing film to accompany my designs. If you aren't aware already, most designers have a "mood" film with each collection they assesmble. An example of this is the video for the latest Rodarte collection "The Curve of Forgotten Things" starring Elle Fanning.

Check out some behind the scene shots of the filming with the model wearing my creations. Here are the photos Aleena Bridge took throughout the filming process. Aleena is just one of the many talented students who worked on producing this film. You can find her work on facebook here. 

By the way, the stunning model who you've seen before is Jessica Feaver, my dear friend.

YOUTH ARTS QLD BLOG

I've also recently been featured on the Youth Arts Queensland blog. This is apart of the Starburst grant that I share with my friend and business partner Jessica Hay. They interviewed me a little while ago and produced this blog where I talk about my designs, inspirations and the sewing workshops that I'm apart of held at Cereal Box.

MAYHEM MAGAZINE

The other exciting projects I've been working on is my fashion column for Mayhem Magazine. My first column is set to be released in the Winter Issue of Mayhem along with an article I wrote about a local artist. I'm beyond excited and can't wait to keep immersing myself in Fashion Journalism. I will post a scan of my fashion column and article when it is published. 

 STYLING OF PHOTOSHOOT

Another project I worked on was styling my friends photoshoot for her university assignment.As you probably know, Frances is my amazing photographer who shoots all my clothes. For her assignment she wanted to do a fashion shoot for a catalogue/magazine layout and asked me to style it for her.

Most of the clothes used were from my large wardrobe and some of France's beautiful dresses. When she is finished perfecting them I will be sure to post them here, however here are some sneaky behind the scene's shots of me styling and helping out....

Lastly, I have some more thrilling news!! 

Jess and myself have an interview with Townsville Bulletin, Fashion Journalist - Roanne Johnson. This will be happening on Sunday which involves a mini fashion shoot of us wearing our latest creations. This will appear in the Townsville Bulletin's "NQ Confidential" section next Saturday. I will be sure to post a scan of the article once it is published.

Apologies for the lengthy post, however, I felt it was necessary to catch you up to date about everything that been happening with my label "t-maree" Yes that's right, a name change!

Until next time,
