Rachel from
stylestalker sent through these photos on Wednesday and I thought it would be cute to team them with a little interview about Desert fox, styling and the fashion industry!
How cute does Bambi look? The photos are taken by
Zanita (blogger and photographer)- and how amazing are they? She truly is talented!
It's so hard to pick a favourite piece! I pretty much want to own everything from this collection! But after looking at these photos for two days i think i have finally found my favs!
Hope you enjoy the interview.
Q:What inspired you to get into fashion design/ How did you get into fashion design?
A: Susie and I went to uni together and later job-shared at an advertising agency. We were constantly ‘stylestalking’ looking through magazines, scouring the web, and shopping up a storm on overseas trips together in places like morocco and London. At the time we just couldn’t find the things we loved at a price we could afford so we decided to start a label for girls like us- designer quality pieces at affordable prices. We had no formal training or background in fashion so we taught ourselves everything. It was a huge task and we’re still learning so much but we’re still so passionate about what we do that we look forward to getting better every season.
Q: Can you tell us about your new collection "Desert Fox", talk us through the pieces. Do you have any favourites?
A: The collection was inspired by a road trip through Arizona and New Mexico, and the artist Georgia O’Keefe who painted those landscapes. So the colors are really sun-drenched, with accents of gold. We also have a neutral-hued python print, and embroidered scorpions and bugs. We love doing little body-con dresses but this season we mixed it up with some oversized tees and wide-leg pants.
My faves are the snakebite leggings, jackal dress, mirage tank and hornet tee.
Q: What are some of your favourite labels here in Australia?
A: We love Australian labels Ellery, Josh Goot, Dion Lee, One Teaspoon, Willow and Sass & Bide.
Q: How would you both describe your style?
A: Exactly like our collections! We design for ourselves mostly haha
Q: What high fashion designers are you inspired by?
A: Pucci, A McQueen, Proenza, Wang
Q: Who inspires you in everyday life?
A: Sue-Ann! Haha no but really.
Q: What advice do you have for a young woman who wants to be a fashion designers?
A: Intern, intern, intern!
Q: Finally, do you have any fashion advice or styling tips you could give to my readers? If we invest in one thing this season, what should it be?
A: Don’t be afraid to make mistakes- fashion is just one big game of dress ups!
The mirage tank is pretty ‘wow’!
