Hamilton Island
26 July 2010

This week in Grazia Magazine 'Designer Holidays'...

Few resorts make me melt like qualia on Hamilton Island in Queensland. This wonderful place is hidden away from the world in the insanely beautiful Whitsundays - I love nothing more than to head off to paradise with my husband Joe Coffey.

From the minute you arrive, everything is taken care of: luggage is magically collected from the airport, and champagne and cold towels are served in the limo whisking you to your private pavilion with its own plunge pool. These stylish sanctuaries are ultra-chic - I love the natural wood and stone elements.

Our favourite spot is Pebble Beach restaurant on the water's edge - think fresh grilled lobster or rib-eye sandwiches and fabulous wine list. A few days luxuriating at qualia is heaven.

Loving Leather
30 June 2010

I recently attended the premiere of Sex and The City 2 in Sydney, and received some much appreciated comments on a pair of vintage leather pants I own (worn with thigh high Jimmy Choo boots of course!). I love using leather in my designs and am partial to a great leather jacket, especially one with quilting! So I thought I would share this fabulous editorial by Peter Lindbergh for US Vogue (September, 1991) with you. Enjoy x

In Memory of Richard Bailey
23 June 2010

Very sad news about Richard Bailey, who passed away at the age of 52 from cancer, he was working right until the end. Bailey was one of the giants of Australian fashion photography, working with every major local magazine and retailer. Based in New York for 10 years, he also worked with GQ, Vanity Fair, Vogue Italia, Glamour, Grazia and Mademoiselle and his portfolio of advertising work spans The Gap, Victoria's Secret, Anne Klein, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Anne Taylor, Nautica, L'Oréal and Mercedes Benz. But Bailey's biggest showcase was by far Vogue Australia, with which he worked for 31 years. You only have to check his website, to see that the local edition accounts for over half the content of his magazine covers section.

Inspirational 70's Images
07 June 2010

The following are some beautiful, inspirational images I’d like to share with you from the 1970’s. Somehow they are so relevant today with the crochet clothing, hair & make up and Kate Moss looks. They’re taken from a rare photography book I own entitled Birds of Britain by John D Green and published by Macmillan Press. I found this book in the ‘bird’ section of a little vintage book store in New York  some years ago!
Enjoy !! Xx

Barbie & Little Joe Woman!
28 April 2010

This week we dressed Barbie for Grazia Magazine...

We all love Barbie! She's a fashion icon. We are so into flowing, chiffon, floral dresses right now, and to make this vintage inspired lingerie and kimono robe was such a fantastic and fun project.
