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.

A little Vest for my Autumn wardrobe

I have been playing around with a new line of day wear, separate from my intimates range. Just a few little pieces to add to my wardrobe really :) but i will list them up on etsy if anyone else wants one. I am in love with vests at the moment. I wear a men's style one by Barkins that I found at my fav 2nd hand store all the time. So i have styled this one a little different, using the organic cotton jersey, so it is a soft loose style with hemp silk frill feature on the pockets. I wear it over a little singlet and jeans. It is photographed here in Slate but it comes in black and aubergine also. Sorry about the daggy photo, I aim to try a little Lady Melbourne and take photos of myself wearing the designs, but it is a little scary for me.

Award winning Dress :)

Gorgeous singer Dallas Frasca asked me to design and make her a frock for the 2010 MusicOz Awards last Friday. She was nominated and won 2010 Artist of the Year and 2010 Blues and Roots Artist of the Year!! I am so in awe and proud of her, she is a amazing and inspiring woman. I feel honered that i got to make the frock she won the awards in.

The dress was made from a vintage 50's dress I had found and kept the full circle dress becasue of the mass of gorgeous bright blue fabric in it. The dress was tiny and needed to be tranformed. I designed a flattering halter style dress with full skirt for Dallas, added 3 layers of tule tutu skirts in purple and black and hey presto! a superstar!

So loving right now

Meadow eco chic collection

Beautiful Eco Chic @ Meadow

Beautiful, etherial and divine

Peoples talent just blows me away and I must admit a little green part of me cries, but a big part of me wants to scream "Oh my god that is divine". Today I got a comment from Mady Dooijes about my own designs, yet when I checked out this ladies own blog I did the above mentioned scream. Her sister blog abundance is full of photography and poems that are so so beautiful and made my heart yearn and squirm.
Thanks Mady (do we the same or similar name?) for bringing some fire to my belly today xxx

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!
