Hello!
Cada todo plays homage to this little creative realm where reclaimed textiles and body inclusivity collide.
This journey began with a strong focus towards body inclusivity; living in a bigger body myself I had experienced the lack of diverse, fabulous and mindfully made garments made for my body. What followed was my love for collecting, crafting and up-cycling being propelled into the mix. Never in my wildest dreams had I previously realised how harmoniously these worlds would collide.
Each dress is a uniquely one-off frock in all its dazzling delight.
They are constructed by me, one by one in my humble little studio, located in inner west Sydney on the land of the Gadigal people.
All pieces are made up of a feast of found fabrics, heart stirring treasures and well travelled, long preserved textiles that I have collected over many moons.
Through my practice i have been able to prolong the life of discarded textiles - reimagining the many forgotten layers into the ever so divine Gingham Gal & Breezy Babe dresses enabling these precious rapidly vanishing non-renewable resources to continue to live, shine, give and connect.
My joy and fulfilment not only lies within the transforming of materials through combining, clashing, mixing and marrying up the varied array of colours, textures and prints but also the flourishing connections, organic conversations started through a shared and inherent deep love for textiles, our personal relationships with the body and clothing and how we express our ever evolving identities through dress.
