Old Brisbane Glamour

Yesterday we were lucky to interview this beautiful lady, and she gave us a real sense of an old Brisbane glamour. You do get the feeling with her that she is one of those rare creatures where glamour will always surround her like a cloak. Even whilst she was  helping, housing and feeding all of her distressed neighbours in Yeronga during the 1974 floods. 

 Immaculately dressed and taken at Cloudland, she was a regular at the ballrooms, showcasing the designs of her aunt who was one of Brisbane's most successful fashion designers at the time. 

From working with her strict and brilliant aunt and being asked to become a buyer for Macy's in New York to meeting her husband; every tale she tells is infused with a golden era glamour combined with a strength that cannot be beaten. 

A truly magical lady who still dresses better than anyone I have ever met, which includes my experiences working from the catwalk shows in Milan, Paris and London.
