BLACK + GOLD Collection

Here are the rest of the photos from the 'Black and Gold' photoshoot. With some amazing photography by Annaliese Raftl and her model, Sarah Macready! What a great team they made and i couldn't of imagined the Hilda Mae brand looking any better! Thanks girls :)

Over the next few days i will be working on photography for the web shop. I'm experimenting with a few improvements to the store and once done i would love to hear your thoughts. I have alot of editing over the next couple of nights but as soon as that's done the store will be revamped and reloaded with brand new items! So stay tuned

Taking a step back in time i wanted to share with you the very first dress i ever made! This was about 2 years ago now when i went out on a whim to purchase my sewing machine. I used a gorgeous orange print fabric i came across at some markets and a chain from a vintage bag. All in all i wanted to go for a Maurie and Eve style rustic dress.

I came across the wonderful designer Maurie and Eve about 4 years ago now, day dreaming through their website while i was in design school. So throughout all my designs to date i always have to an extent a Maurie and Eve influence throughout my works, whether its from designing, or styling and shooting, they will always be a label i am mesmerized by.

These pictures were taken by the amazing photographer Annaliese Raftl. There are a range of outfits coming up that Annaliese has taken for an assignment. The theme is 'Black and Gold', which she has captured perfectly. The stunning model, Sarah Macready not only captured the urban and classic feel to the brief but shows of the clothes beautifully. 

Although i will always keep this dress to look back on, it is nice to see it somewhat 'dressed up' and in action. 

Thank you to Annaliese and Sarah for making this happen :)
