One week ago, I debuted my label on the global stage at Australian Fashion Week.

My very first runway show and what a way to arrive , sharing an iconic collection and deeply personal story at the MCA, overlooking the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, in the very city I grew up in. It truly felt like everything aligned.

The pinch-me moment still hasn’t quite set in. But more than anything, the people I met along the way have been my favourite part of this journey. The team behind this industry, the creatives, mentors, volunteers, backstage teams, producers, models, artists and fashion lovers from around the world, thank you. None of this would have been possible without you.

Today, as I finally come up for air, my heart is full of gratitude for my family, my husband, and my beautiful son who witnessed this dream come to life beside me.

To my sisters and friends who showed up, supported me and celebrated this moment with me thank you endlessly. ✨

I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone, as there are truly so many people who carried me through this moment.

This is only the beginning!
