Lether, wool, paper and steel: My work is about designing through crafting. It is as much about the material and technique as it is about the design.

The Bicycle and the Jacket
the toiles, patterns, drafts, films, photos, drawings and collages.
Here are a few snaps from my exhibition which opened on Thursday evening down at Endless Pedal Gallery and Boutique. My jackets are shown in various unfinished stages for a couple of reasons. It's partly an exercise in knowing when something is finished enough rather than than taking something to an over-finished state. It's also about the process of making and leaving some evidence of the making process and technique in the finished (un-finished) piece.

Fashion Design Mobility: Exhibition
If you're in Melbourne next Thursday or some time over the next month drop in to the Endless Pedal Cycling Gallery and Boutique to see my Fashion Design Mobility exhibtion. The exhibition is the product of a RMIT undergraduate fashion design studio, which explores, through fashion design, ideas and issues of mobility in an urban setting.
The exhibition will open on July 21st at the Endless Gallery and Boutique at 6a Wilson street South Yarra, 6pm-9pm and run through until August 13th.

| Thanks to Gedemin for making the invitation |
This project was an opportunity for me to indulge my passion for the hand made, to fine tune my tailoring techniques and to explore the notion of designing through making, all in relation to the bicycle. The students have created work that is both unique and highly refined. My tailored pieces will be exhibited alongside the student works which range from film to illustration and garments

California Bear
The California Bear for Jackie on a Regal(esque) saddle. To adorn Jackie's Marin fixie which has another version of the bear as its head tube badge. The bear is built up with two blended layers that are skived to fade back to single in areas. A fun project thanks to the skill, humor and patience of Simone, my lovely intern.
