Alice Palmer Previous Profile Winner Accredited in Vogue.com
The talented Alice Palmer, renowned for her innovative sculptural knitwear made it to the finals of Fashion Fringe on Saturday showcasing an incredible new collection putting her in a close second.
“Alice Palmer opened the show with a selection of brilliantly cut multicoloured knit dresses that could give Missoni a run for its money – they rippled in armadillo rivets around the body and their unusual construction meant that strong shoulder pieces held up shapely backless dresses that were powerfully sexy and ready to be worn right away, thank you.” Dolly Jones, Vogue.com.
Congratulations Alice!

SAMPLES AND PATTERNS
Boutique Pick of the Week
Our favourite item from the boutique this week is this unusual black jumpsuit with funky tie detail at the waist and ankles. Fashion savvy girls can get creative with this stylish garment as the printed waist tie can either be tied at the front or the back leaving you in control of the look you wish to create. Dress this versatile piece up or down, with flats and a shirt for work or glam it up with some killer heels for a night on the town, either way this is one item you cannot do without this season.
Until next time, have a great week
