Ha..... A-hah....
Okay, so I'm meeting up with Ash from the Label Uncle Phuncle today to discuss many pretty things and pretty much just say "yaaaaaaay" coz she's in The Religion of Fashion Tea Party in exactly 1month!
Anyway, so I sent out an email to all of the designers last night with a few questions and between now and the show I'll be posting then up on the blog so you can all get to know them a but better? Huzzah!
So, I woke up to ash'a reply this morning. Oh I love her!
Q. Who are YOU?!
A. Ash. A 21 year old gal who at the end of a music degree decided to start
her own fashion label. You know, as you do, in the middle of a recession. I
love lots of things, among them; my cruiser bike, my cat, and my new
Japanese writing set that says "I wish listen to that music again" on the
envelopes.
Q. Describe your style.
A. ok. Girly. Bows. Pastel. Bows. 60's. 50's. bows. cute. Nautical... and
bows. I am infatuated by the 50's and 60's, not only fashion wise but love
the music and moral values of back then. (yes what I'm about to say is mega
lame) I create clothes that I want to wear, that represent those values, and
I feel confident and comfortable that the clothes I wear/create are representing me as a person(gee, way to generalise)'cause lets face it,
everyone judges everyone. No. don't say you don't. you do. So if you want to
feel pretty and girly and retro-esque then I think you might like my clothes. I know retro is everywhere, and it's been done over and over again.
I try to create retro inspired clothing that doesn't look like you've stepped out of a time machine; actually I'm quite paranoid about creating
something that looks like a costume, though sometimes it's unavoidable.
Q. What piece do you treasure the most in your wardrobe?
A. Hmmm...this is hard, I have things that I love love LOVE, but as for
TREASURE most.. Would have to be my insanely special lemon and white knitted
V neck sweater my Aunty Jenny knitted me. It oozes awesome. All over my
wardrobe. Awesome-ness... everywhere.
Q. If you found $40 what would you do?
A. I'd sewing nerd it up and splurge on $10 per m fabric and buy FOUR WHOLE
METRES OF IT. But that's only after I posted an add in the lost and found
section of my local paper, waiting two weeks for its rightful owners to step
forward
Q. Do you arrange your wardrobe by colour or items?
A. err colours.. yes... Actually no. I wont lie. I arrange them in 3
categories (involuntarily) Still in wardrobe- yet to be auditioned. Bed-
second round; call backs. Floor- try again tomorrow; or after it has made
its way back from the washing line because I presumed it was dirty after
being thrown on the bedroom floor. In-between this process I guess they are
in some sort of line up arrangement. So I'd have to say by item definitely.
Q. Will YOU become a follower of the Religion?
Yes. All my life's aspirations have built towards this one moment- that, and
the purchase of my new "hope music -I wish listen to that music again" writing set.
