“Australian nature is very distinctive from the rest of the world’s. I thought the colours here represent it specifically.”
- Akira Isogawa, Designer, Harper’s Bazaar Australia, 2009

It can be obscure, electric and diverse. 

Shot with one model, against cascading rock faces and sparse landscape, we hope to highlight colour and structure as vital elements of Australian fashion history.
