middle finger

Sleepless nights have forced me to reckon with my fears of failure. I have been back in Australia since mid Jan, and although productivity is on the up and up, my mental state is giving me the middle finger.
Nobody wants a walk in the park when starting your own business, otherwise all the parks would be empty...
positivity and motivation, paired with careful planning and following this plan step by step is crucial. Ive just completed my 15th dress sample garment, the emails from potencial manufacturers from China and Morocco are starting to trickle in, and plans for the first photoshoot are baking in the oven.
It only sounds good.
In reality the whole thing is making me so nervous, Im thinking about creating an alias and releasing the first winter range in a different state, maybe even a different country

Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture.   Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils  throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time
