What do you know about Ellie Meyer? Looking at this article from the West Australian we know that she is one of 12 students going to Melbourne Fashion Festival 2010 (LMFF) for the Student Showcase. That’s super cool. After reading that article yesterday, I quickly sent a congrats messgae to Ellie and started recalling what I have in my photo library for Ellie Meyer, the creator of Prufrock.
She just finished her graduation parade (although she hasn’t finished her study just yet). Ellie was one of three winners at the Perth Fashion Festival 2009 to secure a fashion studio for six months to showcase the work (with Andrea Wolf from Polytechnic west and Jane Kelsey from Central) at the 2010 Festival.
After admiring her bug collection at the Curtin Graduation Parade 09 exhibits outside of the venue, I finally got to meet Ellie and scored my own piece of Prufrock at Unwrapped 09 Leederville in December last year. I got a bug brooch and a vest which can be worn in multiple ways. Another special thing about it is that it’s pretty much one off as Ellie made it using vintage fabric off another garment.
It’s all too exciting. LMFF is happening in March. Some people suggested that I should go to LMFF but with my day job I really can’t.
I hope Melbournites love Prufrock, Ellie’s design. Good luck, Ellie!!
La primera foto preciosa!!
