I started off as a Home Economics Teacher, specialising in Textiles, then went on to be a Curriculum and Information Technology consultant with the Department of Education. Whilst teaching I started up my own fashion design label, specialising in evening wear and organised the Education Week Fashion parades at Sydney Town Hall. I currently manage LifeLine Military Road, my passion is to share the love of fabrics and vintage clothing. Alterations are a means to a creative end for me. I will explain how to up-cycle garments and bring life back to old treasures.

What is the Fashion Revolution movement?
Fashion Revolution was born from a desire to re-create a fashion industry that values people, the environment, creativity and profits in equal measure, it encourages individuals and small groups to take action to make this happen. For more information visit the official website.
