We’ve been quite silent on Instagram recently, and a year ago, I never would have expected to have to slow down.
With a new collection on the horizon, I was fully focused on pushing boundaries and embracing every opportunity. However, in recent months, I’ve had to step back and shift my energy toward what matters most and shortly, we’ll be welcoming a new addition to the ISLEY Studios family, a moment we’re all eagerly anticipating.
When I started this brand, it was with a vision: to build a brighter future for my kids, a future that would inspire them to believe they can achieve anything they set their minds to. This dream is only a part of a larger journey, one I hope to share someday. But for now, life is calling me to take a step back and focus on what truly matters. Sometimes, when we push too hard without rest, life has a way of reminding us to pause.
Design has always been such a big part of who I am, but I’ve reached a point where I need to focus on my health, my family, and other parts of my life. I will continue to design and share my art with the world, but I’m also excited to explore other passions I’ve been longing to pursue, all while embracing the joys and challenges of being a mama of three.
This isn’t goodbye, it’s a much-needed break to focus on what matters most. I’ll be back in the fashion world when the time is right. Refreshed and reinvented.
I want to thank every single one of you who has supported us on this journey, your encouragement means the world to me. Every memory, opportunity, experience, like, share, message, collaboration, and mention has made this adventure unforgettable. I am grateful for every amazing human I have met through this experience. Thank you for taking a moment in time to be a part of our journey. It is an honour to be a part of the South Australian Fashion Industry, and I am confident that this is not the end, but just a short break.
In the meantime, all of our pieces will remain available on a made-to-order basis through DM or our Etsy store.
Thank you for being part of this adventure—it’s been unforgettable. I can’t wait to return with something truly special when the time feels right. ✨️
