Sexy and Organic!

Eco underwear hasn't looked so sexy!

Doesn't the beautiful Brooke Chamberlain look fabulous modelling in my shoot yesterday? I really want to use natural beautiful woman in my imagery, and Brooke is 100% photoshop-free and natural! I love at the happy and healthy glow she radiates in all the shoots she does with me. Though... sometimes we do offer her a little champagne is help with the nerves and the cool weather ;) But what fun would a lingerie shoot be with out a little bubbles!

Much thanks to Brooke for her gorgeous body, Photographer Heath Missen for his snapping skill, Nicola Morgaine Emanuel for glam makeup and Sevika for sexy bed hair.

Byron Bay Designers Part 7.. Eco Intimates

I hope it isn't too forward of me to do the last Byron Bay Designers on myself. I am just so excited about my new range coming out I thought I would give you a sneak little preview of whats about to come. I have finally finished designing the organic cotton jersey 15 piece range and now preparing for the photo shoot with my gorgeous muse/model Brook Chamberlain. The snaps above are from a fitting we had yesterday in my freezing work room, poor Brook was shivering in my little cotton numbers.

Before I jump into my first production run I want to get some production advice to not only make sure they are sewn perfect as possible, but can to be sewn easily and efficiently. So I have arranged to meet with a designer friend to pick her brain about the best way of sewing each piece.


My delightful new range Eco intimates will be coming very soon to my Etsy store xxx

PS... new organic cotton jersey and hemp silk/satin in colours has finally arrived!

Byron Bay Designers Part 6- Rachel Stone

When I first fell in love this Artist, it wasn't her paintings, but her jewelery that beguiled me. I work at little jewelery store in the seaside town Brunswick Heads, and a few years back we bought some of Rachel Stone's delightful little gemstone pieces for the shop. I quickly snapped up a pair of her earrings (6 faceted carnelian clustered together) and a necklace of pinks, oranges and yellows coloured gems. When I get my camera back I will post a picky of the lovely pieces.

But it wasn't till last year that I came across her paintings, and I cant say which I love more. At the exhibition of her 'Tiny Feathers' collection I missed out on the one I wanted (I really must remember the early bird gets the worm ;). I couldn't find a image of it, just as well because it would have taunted me. Here are my next favorites. The sugary jewel like one above called "Fairywrenland diptych part II" I love, and if I can afford it I would barter off the new owner. But honestly if I could I would get all 3.

(quoted from her website...) 'The imagery" is influenced by botanical illustration, wildlife photography, and the depiction of birds and flowers throughout the history of textile design. Perhaps by taking a closer look at the beautiful birds of the air and plant life of the Earth we will be inspired to protect them, and find it easier to give up our environmentally destructive habits in favour of protecting these living treasures from extinction."
