2017 has been a crazy whirlwind for Dark Thorn Clothing. From opening my first pop up shop and being invited to participate in Paris Fashion Week, but at the end of the day I couldn't have done it without you. I started off the year with a collaboration with Colour Cosmetica and Next Models Australia to promote the Colour Cosmetica Studio stocking Dark Thorn Clothing. On the 5th of February I attended my first Labels Style Markets at Plant 4 Bowden. (Models: Diamond Management Group - Photography: Vueey Le) I held my first pop up shop at Adelaide Central Plaza,...

In August 2017 I received an email from Oxford Fashion Studio inviting me to participate in Milan Fashion Week, September 2017. Unfortunately I had to decline as I was already in the UK, I didn't have the money to spare and it was just simply too late notice. But I kindly asked if my invitation could be extended and they accepted, they continued by saying I could now choose which Fashion Week I would like to participate in so of course I chose Paris September 2018! Oxford Fashion Studio, founded by Victoria Beckham, analyse 40,000 designers each year and invite...

It's no secret that my biggest form of design inspiration comes from period television shows and movies, so I've decided to put together a list of my current top six favourites. These top six are period television shows that I continue to find myself going back to on a regular basis or just simply have playing in the background as I work and design.

Ross Poldark (played by Aiden Turner) returns home from fighting in the American Revolution to his life completely flipped upside down. His fiancé is now engaged to his cousin and his family mine...

I've always dreamt of the United Kingdom and Ireland especially because the United Kingdom is the second highest ranking country for the most visits to Dark Thorn Clothing's online store (thank you!). I also take design inspiration from beautiful architecture and royal periods of time (eg, The Victorian Era) so the United Kingdom is quite fitting. By putting myself directly in the centre of royalty by visiting palaces, castles and cathedrals, I was overwhelmed by the powerful jolts of inspiration. I saw a few pieces of Queen Victoria's possessions and clothing at Kensington Palace, Mary Queen of Scots official and original Queen Chambers at the Palace of Holyroodhouse and King Henry VIII's armour...
