CREATING A FASHION CATWALK is not something most people do every day. It’s a daunting prospect, to take a vision from a notepad of ideas to a full-scale fashion and artisan craft production.
GABRIELLA BAVONE found herself in just such a situation. As a skilled seamstress, her creativity in dressmaking attracted the attention of JANE BINNION, who on the spur of the moment, suggested the idea of creating a fashion show.
Gabriella considered this idea, whilst working alongside other women who designers and crafters. Their ability to create bespoke outfits in a sustainable way, gave her the idea creating a fashion show which would demonstrate the possibility to be fashionable and yet environmentally-conscious at the same time.
