Some works from young designer ZarBe

Over the last few years our factory unit has played to host to many young textiles and design students who use our premises to help put together their collections.
While I'm often hanging around doing the dreaded paperwork in the office, these young hopefuls are dominating the production and cutting areas. I'm glad to get a reprieve when asked about angle & flow correction, paperwork I'll see you later.

Last week the staff and I plus all the family and all the friends, we were invited to 2 shows. One in central Sydney for ZarBe and the other in Manly for MW Bodacious. What 2 fantastic nights but by Thursday we were bleary eyed.

Zjarie (pictured left) from ZarBe wowed the crowd on Tuesday night's Launch My Label fashion show at the Embassy Event Centre along with 9 other emerging designers. ZarBe's first piece, the Can Can, to hit the catwalk had the crowd roaring with delight as the model Prudence didn't just strut the catwalk but danced her way with pizazz and flair. There seemed to be a 100 photographers at the end of the catwalk. Flashes went ablaze, among those photographers, placing herself strategically at the end of the catwalk at foot view was our own Little Miss Mischief. Shoe designer DanYelle was tickled pink that Little Miss Mischief's shoes photo's were among the best to be produced. Considering she only just turned 7, our budding photographer captured every one's hearts. I had to admit to DanYelle that our little Miss Mischief has a shoe fetish bigger than Imelda Marco.
6 more designs followed that the models showcased with individual and dramatic flair.

It was nice to see Zjarie called up on the catwalk after her designs were shown. Wearing her new creation (made the day before) of hand painted and dyed silk organza, she did her own catwalk strut.

Currently Zjarie is working with Philomena from Featherhead to create a "Fashion in the Field" collection for the upcoming spring racing carnival. Featherhead's elaborate creative headpieces were used throughout the night with all the designers work, but the one's the models are wearing were designer especially for ZarBe's collection.
