THE NUMBERS
The brands, the people, the shops! The numbers that have been and gone in our local fashion industry over my 50 year journey, is something to behold.
Some of the names that come to mind are.....
Prue Acton, Barry Taffs and Marilyn Said with Covers, George Gross and Harry Who, Peter and Adele Weiss, Merivale and Mr.John, Adele and Rob Palmer with Jag and later with T.G.I.F. (Thank God It's Friday), Joe Saba with Staggers, Jennny Banister, Maggie T, Marcus Tusch, Harry and Sally Gold with OJAY, Teena Varigos, Collette Dinnigan, Lisa Ho, and the list is endless.....
My partner has often said to me "Write a book and you will make more money than selling your silly #@&*! frocks" {a warped sense of humour}. BUT, it is not about making money!
It is about the passion of selecting beautiful fabrics from Premier Vision in Paris, without compromise and producing ranges, season after season, after season, that appeal to a wide audience solely through our well run stores, our twice yearly Trunk Shows in both Sydney and Canberra, and of course Online.

Covid was not easy, for anyone including us, but we certainly survived through the support of our loyal customers, our brilliant committed team, hard work and of course we cannot overlook the support of the federal government.
Thank you all.
We are not only back, but stronger than ever.
I think I will sign off for today; I don't want to bore anyone.
To be continued.........
