As a stylist working in the fashion industry over the last ten years I have had my hands on more dresses than you would believe. Up until now, I have had to style models in other designers clothes, but for the first time since our launch, I was approached by a company called Fame & Partners to call upon my creative design skills and collaborate on a collection for summer. A take on the little black dress. Overwhelmed, but tickled with excitement I started pulling together references and sketches for the 10 piece collection we were going to produce in the short time I was back in Sydney for. (one month to be exact)…
I assumed with most design collabs that this type of process would take months of back and forth, picking out swatches, color options, fittings on models, amendments… but not with a company like F&P. These guys are dynamite on crack, churning out the latest styles and customizations for there customers in a matter of weeks.
It was GO time.
I sat down with Lucy, the head designer about a week after I produced the sketches and I was already picking out fabrics from her trip to china that weekend. These guys were good. In what felt like a millions emails and photos back and forth in only a short period of time, the dresses arrived to my doorstep the night before we were shooting the campaign. I was smitten. Beautifully made and curated from start to finish…… I could tell this was going to be the start of something very special.
So ladies (and maybe) gents, here is the result of our collaboration with Fame & Partners. The WICKED GAME collection, inspired and named after the supermodels of our time.
The collection is available for pre-sale today here!
