A male model has been hanging out in my kitchen for the last couple of days. “Why?” you ask. “Why not”, I say. Along for the ride is an art director, stylist, makeup artist, lighting technician, photographer, photographer’s assistant, location agent, etc, etc. Our house has been taken over by a photographic crew. They are shooting a financial institution’s product brochure and our house is being used as the backdrop.
It makes for a chaotic week when the editorial I was expecting interstate in the Sydney Sunday Telegraph appeared on the weekend. I realized it had gone to print when a higher than usual number of orders came through the website on Sunday - normally a quiet day of the week for online purchasing.
So my seamstress and I have been busy turning little piles of fabric into completed orders.
And I dropped in on my Melbourne manufacturer this morning. My summer range is underway. Here is a rather uninteresting photo of the lay plan for one of the dresses I have in production. Under the paper are about 20 layers of different fabrics. The appliance in frame is the industrial strength rotary cutter.
I will post a photo of the finished dress in the weeks to come.
