There is no doubt that fashion makes us feel good, it allows us to express the self we present everyday to the world.
We are the canvas and muse to so many designers and visionaries. I am always in search of beautifully tailored pieces that nod to the past, especially filled with colour and pattern.
Sharing below a few brands I often turn to when looking for staples or that something special.
Ready-to-Wear
Ready to Wear and swimwear pieces handmade by Artisans in Colombia.
I have supported their sister brand, Agua Bendita for many years. They are beautifully made in the most inspiring patterns. In 2018, seeking to take their admiration for artisanship and their profound love for Latin America to new heights, the brand creating Agua an environmentally conscious label that pays tribute to the allure of Latin America.
At one glance you will just know its Zimmermann.
This iconic Australian label stays true to its original vision: Sophisticated femininity, clever colour combinations and delicate original prints.
Another female forward business I cannot get enough of. Inspired by the nostalgia of coastal living from decades past.
With thoughtful curation the brand celebrates all women and the busy beautiful lives they live in their clothes.
French girl done right. Sézane thoughtfully creates classic crafted lasting pieces.
I am always excited about their monthly launches and that they often restock sold out items.
This Viennese designer once studied under Vivienne Westwood and it shows.
Not only do they create ready to wear, but classic traditional drindl wear and custom gowns as well.
