Where the EDITION label is being made

The studio at CIT where I am working with designers Andie Merideth and Gemma and Francesca from the collaborative labels Eternal Safari and Sebastians Sister.

A little creative chaos at the moment!

The machine where all the magic happens...

The cutting floor at my house, need to invest in a large cutting table pretty soon.

At the moment I am a little all over the place, working partly at home for cutting and paper work and then at the studio at CIT for sewing. The studio space is where emerging designers can work together for a small fee and use the resources that CIT has to offer. I am loving the old machine I have been using there, only buggered up on me once so far but there is still time.

AYLOR studio... sneak peek

My studio space in Darwin is where AYLOR garments get made, I think it is great to show where the pieces are made, it adds another story to the garment you are purchasing. Knowing where a garment is made is paramount as it starts to unravel the ethics and standards of that garment. A picture of the location or of the maker can also add value to a piece as it connects the hand made aspect which often gets lost in a garment. Sewing machines may be vital for sewing garments, but the people behind the machine put in the concentration and time needed to create the garments we take for granted everyday.  Society has dictated a lose in ownership of where things come from. So next time you put on a piece of clothing, ask yourself where is this made and who made it?
