KELLYLOVE

A collection of 60's inspired garments with reference to the correlation between muses of fallen rock stars and beautiful birds in cages. A journey of angst and glamour as the muse copes with the impending loss of her beautiful yet unfortunate life. The collection embodies sex appeal with timeless elegance combining beautifully cut pieces with clean lines, precise workmanship and hints of femininity & quirkiness. Exclusive prints are featured on heavily sand washed silk, painted fur and mohair give texture while wool and suede add a luxe appeal to this collection. The colour palette sees French navy, contrasting black against white & dusky grey punctuated by pops of dark fuchsia and mustard. As part of the AW2011 Song of the Rainbird collection, the Dance of the Peacock Blouse and Dance of the Peacock Dress are made from 100% sandwashed silk. Printed with a delicate bird and flower print exclusive to the designer, these luxurious pieces include contrast silk covered buttons and a curved hem. In addition to the printed silk pieces, this collection includes items in wool and suede including the Hummingbird Coat, the Little Bird Dress and Songbird Trousers, maxi dresses in sumptuous jersey in the form of the Giselle Dress and jackets made from painted fur including the Ruffle My Feathers Jacket.

It was during this time that Kelly developed a taste for luxurious fabrics and precise tailoring which was apparent in her first collection “Beautiful Side of Everything”. This collection was launched in the New Generations show of Australian Fashion Week 2007. A whimsical collection of light and feminine styles was created, including feather weight dresses, velvety soft camisoles and French knickers.
