TV S/S 09 RAFW Show Sydney

Just a few shots from the show in Sydney including the shoes I designed for TV! To see the whole show go to vogue.com.au



Some press from Imelda.com on the shoe verdict from RAFW...
"in a surprise upset it was Melbourne’s ‘TV’ with their ‘awkward military sandal’ that stole the week.

Backstage I spoke with sandals designer, Adam Wood a creative consultant to TV's Monika Tywanek and Ingrid Verner. Wood revealed his influence was a “mix between Victorian and 90’s style”. “The block heel and square toe are definite 90’s influences and the kiltie trim was a reference to Victorian war time era”

Speaking to Monika Tywanek (one half of TV) she explained “Adam worked closely with a friend of ours, Jess. He owns a company in Melbourne called Doc Cobbler. Tywanek went on to explain “They’re all individually handmade in Australia. It’s amazing being able to work with local artisans, they’re so passionate about what they do and they’re so eccentric. They have this wealth of knowledge and it’s amazing that we can tap into it.”
