There will be 6 local designers including Audrey Blue, Pure Pod Sustainable, Sovata, Dissonance, Mary Byrne Textiles and of course, Hanny-d Creations...and this is only the first half of the program....

Intermission with drinks and canapes will be followed by a world premiere screening of a short film made in Canberra - very excited about this one!

The second half of the parade will feature carefully curated vintage collections as well as other fashion collections - perhaps even some fantastic 80s swimwear !

RAW Canberra Presents "MERGE" Hanny-d's "Denim & Lace"

 This complete collection was created using ONLY upcycled media including fabrics, leather, lace, buttons and zippers. Hours of painstaking deconstruction preceded the construction of patterns.

Five pairs of jeans were used to create the sleeveless denim jacket/vest worn by Alvon Junior. The little cropped denim top came from 2 skirts while the leather skirt was refashioned from a long vintage one. Even the leather collar is upcycled from an old coat.

D'Kodia Laine looks ever so cute blowing kisses to the audience. Here she is wearing a lace boob tube and cropped denim vest - made from my own jeans! - with black sheer pants that have cute little under-shorts. The picture doesn't show the open sides which allow plenty of swishing movement. The bow tie has a leather band and cotton fabric which was left over from one of the men's shirts.

 This beautiful peachy-pink lace dress is vintage (circa 1965). It was badly damaged especially in the lining. It has been delicately restored- mostly by hand - to almost new condition. This is what I call "true recycling"
Harley is wearing a sleeveless jacket/vest that was created from 100% upcycled denim. The 100% cotton lining is also upcycled. Even the copper/brass buttons came from a ten year old stash of haberdashery! 
 Jelena looks almost serene in her fully lined stretch lace dress with jersey lining. The little jacket has a large lined hood.
Cheeky girl Lucy! (L) This gorgeous lace boob tube has a lovely decorative hem and seen here with the cutest little skort ever! The over-skirt and shorts are actually separates so can be worn with different things or together as shown. Both came from the same pair of flared jeans and the pockets on front and back of the skirt from various other jeans.

 (L - R) Paul Baynham, Michelle Welch, Alvon Junior and Harley Smith-Shields
 Paul asks the question "What did I do?".... Michelle clearly isn't taking him seriously!
 (L - R) Jelena Jelinek, D'Kodia Laine, Jane Back and Lucy Cameron
 Paul is wearing a cotton and ramie sleeveless shirt with multi-coloured contrast centre over a plain white tee
 Who's too sexy? Jane and Alvon both look like they know.....

and here's the line-up with me in the middle....my jeans were made from 5 different pairs of jeans and the top from 2 dresses.

Highlights from Canberra RAW Presents "VISIONARY"

 Alexandra Jackson strutting her stuff in our gorgeous striped pant with collar detail to waistband and complimenting reversed jacket and a fabulous envelope clutch (made from a re-purposed placemat!)

 Caitlin Howship looks oh-so-cute in leather short and batik print crop with racer back feature
 Front view of Caitlin showing collar detail on waist band of the leather short

 Molly Dickson looks ab fab in this striking linen and cotton shift

 Elizabeth Hannah wears our version of the little black dress with grace and style

 Such a great colour on our beautiful model Olivia McIntyre. The little collar gives a beautiful lift for an evening out in this simple shift with racer back detail. See how the russet of the evening clutch brings a little extra pizzazz to the outfit!

 Oh look! Now that's a happy designer! Yours truly having some fun at the finale....and a little silliness to say thank you to our wonderful audience at Canberra RAW VISIONARY
