One of the first pair of tights I hand painted was for myself & had lizards on them. I'd always get compliments when I wore them, & several years later when I started my label, I continued with the lizard theme & introduced other animals into my collections.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These flocked Lizards on woolly tights are very similar to the first pair I did for myself & are currently available at urban cow studio in Adelaide, South Australia.<br />

The logo for my label is a poodle, & people may have noticed I'm a little poodle crazy. I've done various poodle designs but the most recent one I did is very sparkly, elaborate & made up of lots of little dots, a painting method I've used quite a bit on different things, it's time consuming but I think the final look is worth it. What do you think?<br />

I've done custom orders of spiders, I've done a Monarch butterfly design, the Louis Louis design which is a little woodland scene with rabbits & squirrels & flowers plus others, too many to go into here.<br />
Recently I've been inspired by our native flowers & plants such as Wattle & Sturt Desert Pea & the pretty but simple varieties of Daisies in Spring.<br />
<br />
Below is the Louis Louis design on 70 denier tights. It's a design I love & will always do. I've also done it on leggings, dresses & tops.<br />

I hope you've enjoyed this peek into the flora & fauna inspired designs of Shirley Fracture Couture & I hope it shows you the quality, uniqueness & endless possibilities of hand painted hosiery by Shirley Fracture. Let your imagine free. How would you wear these tights. To brighten up a black outfit or with other colours & designs. I've styled them both ways, you are not limited with fashion. Show your unique personality & celebrate it.<br />

Shirley has always loved a man in tights. Of course there is a long history of men wearing tights throughout history as was the fashion of the times. And of course dancers wear them all the time.<br />
<br />
Today, a lot of men like to layer them under shorts, others like to wear a high denier/thicker or woolly pair of tights instead of pants & layer with a shirt & jacket as a fashion statement. Then there are men who like to wear them with skirts or dresses & as far as Shirley Fracture is concerned, as long as you are comfortable, wear them however you want.<br />
<br />
Shirley Fracture has always catered to male customers & as long as the size is right, anyone can wear them. I once asked a friend to model some 70 denier leggings for me for a photo shoot & he was reluctant but agreed. I teamed them with a top & jacket & he looked great. In the end it was difficult to get them off him as he wore them all day he was so comfortable.<br />

<br />
I'm happy to do custom orders if your size or the design you want isn't in the web store. I can do the men's 'pouch' leg wear but these tend to be more expensive & are of a different material. Also men's hosiery in general is more expensive but I will always do my best to make you what you want.<br />
<br />
I've always thought of my hosiery as unisex but as I said earlier, it is just important to get the size right but that goes for everyone.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br />
Welcome to my first little blog spot for the new on-line magazine tights.fun. I wanted to focus on the colour & fun we can have with our hosiery. How it can be an integral part of our outfit & not just utilitarian.</div>
<br />
Myself, I have a small fashion label, Shirley Fracture Couture which began with my hand painted leg wear then expanded from there, but hand painting tights is something I specialise in. There are many 'fashion' tights options out there but mine are individually hand painted so are limited edition, unique & suit the fashion forward individual not afraid to express themselves by what they wear. I don't want to sound big headed, but by their nature of how they are designed & created, my hosiery is wearable art. Quality is important at Shirley Fracture & my tights can be worn for many seasons.<br />
<br />
But right now it is the holiday season whichever hemisphere you live in, so maybe that means parties, get togethers, travels or just hanging at home. You may just want to cheer yourself up & say to the rest of the world, 'I'm going to wear what I want' & let your legs do the talking. Let's be brave & have some fun with our leg wear.<br />
<br />

Looking back over past blogs I often start by saying 'it's been so long since I blogged'. Well I have to say it again, it's been two years......<br />
<br />
I've been quietly working away here in Melbourne, quietly waiting to 'crack' it........I've decided at the moment not to try & put out seasonal collections but to just concentrate on doing really good work that people will like or dare I say.... love (hence the relevance of the video selection).<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I thought it's about time to show you what I've been up to lately. These are (low res.) images of some of my latest work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The photographer is Steph Doran of <a href="http://www.stephdoran.com/">http://www.stephdoran.com/</a>,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the canine model is rescued dog Scout from Noahs Bark Dog Rescue, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/noahsbarkdogrescue/?fref=ts">https://www.facebook.com/noahsbarkdogrescue</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also worth mentioning, my label has a split personality, there's the leg wear, the couture & the up-cycled (also recently dabbled in some baby fashion which I've called sfc smalls)so I'll let you know what you are looking at. The couture is Shirley Fracture Couture, the leg wear Shirley Fracture & the up-cycled I refer to as SFC but it's all under the umbrella of Shirley Fracture Couture so....confusing?..Hopefully not too much so.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this first image you will see pants & top by Shirley Fracture Couture. These shoes from Preston Zly of Melbourne were so delicious I wanted to eat them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ug-IxW67PHg/VvCQnhnpBTI/AAAAAAAAJUs/r-aZm5mbIYE5AnkRbbXG02hV6tf5jiY9g/s1600/2015-12-11%2BShirley%2BFracture%2B022.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ug-IxW67PHg/VvCQnhnpBTI/AAAAAAAAJUs/r-aZm5mbIYE5AnkRbbXG02hV6tf5jiY9g/s640/2015-12-11%2BShirley%2BFracture%2B022.jpg" width="425" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next we have the Flower Power Love suit by Shirley Fracture Couture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O7kIwQotAmw/VvCRO5E4inI/AAAAAAAAJU0/gObFc7FzqCc3yxRYhv8T2WrhIza3Q4IVg/s1600/2015-12-11%2BShirley%2BFracture%2B106.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O7kIwQotAmw/VvCRO5E4inI/AAAAAAAAJU0/gObFc7FzqCc3yxRYhv8T2WrhIza3Q4IVg/s640/2015-12-11%2BShirley%2BFracture%2B106.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fabric is hand painted Italian Crepe. There are no seams at the front of these high waisted, wide legged pants, & they are lined with creamy cool satin as is the jacket which has covered buttons & little tulle tutus in the top of the sleeve. 'Shirley' is down with details & quality.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the Flower Power Love top, hand painted Italian Crepe, covered buttons, sleeve tutus, paired with hand painted, up-cycled, SFC denim long shorts. Scouts lead & collar also by Shirley Fracture Couture. Scout is a rescued dog that now has a wonderful forever home & this is close to my heart as I spent a year as a foster carer in Brisbane & it was one of the best things I have ever done, if you love dogs & your living situation is suitable, I would recommend doing it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here we have an up-cycled denim Wish jacket I call the Sex & Candy jacket. It has hand painted sparkly roses with black metal studs for thorns. I love a good bomber. On the legs are hand painted tights by Shirley Fracture of course. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lDK7d2IpiGs/VvcXMl38yKI/AAAAAAAAJWE/VFH-TY-23roXZchiPT_abXW8HldzdaF4A/s1600/2015-12-11%2BShirley%2BFracture%2B266.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lDK7d2IpiGs/VvcXMl38yKI/AAAAAAAAJWE/VFH-TY-23roXZchiPT_abXW8HldzdaF4A/s640/2015-12-11%2BShirley%2BFracture%2B266.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>

And lastly but not least, a shot featuring two of the best models, so professional & wonderful to work with (as was the whole team). Scout is snuggling in the Peace & Love jacket & Sam is rocking the Louis Louis Love leggings that are hand dyed, hand painted by Shirley Fracture Couture (shoes here are models own) Some of you may recognise the Louis Louis design, I've used it before but it's a great design that I love & is dedicated to my first black toy boy, my first poodle Louis. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's some of what I've been up to. There is still so much to do, to achieve. I have so many designs to bring to life, so much to learn still. I've been working on new hosiery designs for the winter. I really hope y'all like what you see here though & I'd love to read your thoughts/comments.</div>

I'm sure a lot of folks will echo those sentiments. I've been pondering what to say if anything about this year coming to an end & how to say it then I thought, blog, I don't think I've blogged all year.<br />
<br />
I feel so trashed by the events of 2014 that I can hardly type.....so must be time for a musical interlude. I couldn't think of a song so just typed lalala & this is what I got...<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year of 2014 I moved interstate to live with & look after my ailing Ma, fuck it's been hard & it's taken it's toll. I have however done loads of designing as per usual, put out a mini collection that included some screen printed goodies as well as the hand painted, shot said collection & sent it down the runway. Some folks may say that's not bad & they'd be right, it's not bad but it's not good enough either, but then I am always seeing what I could do better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do love these designs so very much, I've put everything into them & I hear everyone say that but I hope you like them, especially the dresses. I'm pretty confident with my leg wear, it's my thing but I certainly am looking to expand what I do. </div>

This year I was invited to exhibit with RAW London, which I do want to do, & the Art Gallery of Ballarat bought several pieces to sell in their shop. So that also happened. I won't list my goals for 2015, I'd rather just do them tell you about it when they happen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess we all say the same things at this time of year & how we are so excited for the coming year........I can say I feel tired but am looking forward to getting into new projects & making more wearable art & artisanal fashion for you. I really enjoy creating, it makes me happy, it's soothing & that won't change in 2015. I can sincerely say I wish everyone all the very best, I hope you are happy & successful in 2015.</div>

It's been a while since my last blog so time for an update. I made it through my RAW Generation showcase. It was a fantastic night & the most tickets were sold for any RAW event anywhere so we broke a record.<br />
Leading up to the night I'd had bugger all sleep & worked hard to get it all done. So on the night I turned up with wet hair, no make up looking like a wreck so not the ideal time to be photographed or videoed but meh, I'm over it, the clothes looked awesome on the runway & once again I was blessed with a fantastic team of models & helpers including Leigh Auld Hair & Nikita Pere MUA also featured RAW artists. . <br />

So post RAW I had to shut down my web store (not ideal after doing such a big promotion) & head off to Adelaide to help my mum pack up her house & get it ready to be upgraded . I knew it would be a big job but man o man, it was a big job, it nearly killed me but I got it done. Needless to say, as much as I hated to leave my mum there on her own, it is great to be back at home in my lovely tree house & with the mild winter weather(it was freezeballs in the Adelaide hills). Two months away is a long time. And with so much work to catch up on I've dived in to try & make up for lost time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In an effort to consolidate & focus & pay the rent, I'm currently having an EOFY Sale in my web store. Most things are ridiculously discounted, so check it out & buy up as this won't happen very often. Just go to this link. <a href="http://www.shirleyfracture.com.au/">http://www.shirleyfracture.com.au</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then at the end of the month I'm having a Pop Up Fashion Store to finish off the big sale. There will be other designers including the fab Good Golly Its Molly <a href="http://www.ggim.com.au/">http://www.ggim.com.au</a> taking part & including a men's label <a href="http://nakedinthenight.com.au/" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;" target="_blank">nakedinthenight.com.au</a> so the guys are not forgotten plus more. It will be a unique opportunity to nab yourself a designer bargain, something special for your collection. And it's being held at Kobblers in Bardon which is a great venue & has the best coffee & fruit toast going. All in all it will be a pleasurable way to spend part of your Saturday. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's pretty much all the news I think. You can always contact me by email to <a href="mailto:contact@shirleyfracture.com.au">contact@shirleyfracture.com.au</a> if you have any queries. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm planning on going into the new financial year with a much more streamlined operation. An exciting new collection, the best photo shoot ever, more magazine articles & trying not to be frustrated that I can't do what I want quick enough. I'm trying to be sensible about everything & realise I can only do what I can do & it's no point stressing right? right. XX</div>

Time for a bit of a catch up. Check out the 'Shirleyesque' poodle in this video, though the 'Shirley' poodle is much prettier but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder, plus it's a happy little ditty to accompany this blog post.<br />
<br />

<br />
Well it's been a great start to 2013. In January an article appeared in a fantastic American mag., Fashion Faces Magazine <a href="http://issuu.com/fashionfaces/docs/janissue">http://issuu.com/fashionfaces/docs/janissue</a> in the International Fashion section about my label which was a lovely way to begin the new year. The accompanying images by Josie of /<a href="http://josierichardsonphotography.com.au/">http://josierichardsonphotography.com.au/</a> look awesome as do the models, 'Shirley' faves Heloise-Laure Ruinard & Lara Cresser with hair by Carly Hammond & Bek from Ragdoll Rampage & make up by Meghan Bell MUA & Heloise. <br />
<br />
Also in January I became a featured RAW natural born artist <a href="http://www.rawartists.org/shirleyfracture">http://www.rawartists.org/shirleyfracture</a> & will be on the runway for their upcoming showcase, 'Generation' in March. You'll find all the information about the night if you click on that link. Tickets for the night are on sale now for only $15 which is fantastic as you get to see the work of over 40 artists, other fashion designers, visual artists, jewellers, photographers, musicians, performers & more. When buying your ticket make sure to click on Shirley Fracture Couture on the little drop down feature as the artist you are supporting.<br />
<br />
So you certainly get a lot of value for your $15 & it's going to be an epic night to remember. I know my runway is going to be spectacular & I'm teamed up with fantastic Hair (Leigh Auld) & MUA (Nikita Pere) for the night. <br />
<br />
In the mean time I'm working away getting a collection together for the event & for Autumn/Winter 2013. I'm loving colour at the moment so there will be a lot more of that than usual for me. The new designs have an art deco influence, there are really graphic designs, metallics & pop colours & the look is very rock & roll babies. It encompasses the usual 'Shirley' vibe. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's been a while since I started this post in the middle of the night when I had a bit of time spare. Well RAW Generation is now only a couple of weeks away. Eeep so much to do to finish. I've done about 20 hours of sequin sewing so far & have about another 40 to go. It's sequin mania here right now. <br />
<br />
On a personal note, after the RAW gig I'm off to Adelaide for a couple of months to help out my mum whose partner has died. You never now what will happen from day to day, this wasn't a planned trip. Also my gorgeous brother in law who is responsible for my logo, has been undergoing chemo & radiotherapy for the last few weeks & is about half way through his treatment. It's pretty heavy but it seems to be going well & he is always in my thoughts right now.<br />
<br />
Then look out Melbourne, here I come. Some time in the next 18 months I'll be making the move. Although it's a big move, I love Melbourne so much & am really excited about it. I love my tree house here in Brisbane & am sad when I think about leaving it but hey, upwards & onwards.<br />
<br />
Brissie folks, here is a link to get your tickets for RAW Generation. <a href="http://www.rawartists.org/brisbane/generation/?artist=70992">http://www.rawartists.org/brisbane/generation/?artist=70992</a><br />
As I said earlier, just tick Shirley Fracture as the artist you are supporting & I would absolutely love to see you there. XX<br />

I've got a few days where I'm not scheduled every minute so am taking the chance to catch up with blogging, tidying & contemplating in general where I'm headed. I know I'm winding things down for the year & making plans for the coming year & I know I'm determined to have fun for the rest of the year.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/CVNjGBe7znc?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
Apart from Shirley I have two other jobs so that's three, & none of them pay, in fact two of them cost me money to do. Some people may think that's crazy but I have to do what I'm passionate about & what I enjoy & at this point in time these things are more important. Although that said, I think I need a job, haha. Just couple of days a week would be good, doing what though I do not know, any offers, haha.<br />
<br />
Something a bit different for the music selection for this post but Alina has been very cool letting me use her music for my little videos & other helpful things. Not only is she talented singer but also writes articles for New York Times & has books published, an interesting person worth checking out for yourself. Basically she rocks & 'Shirley' loves women who rock. (Take note of this it will be important later)<br />
<br />
Just did the last shoot for this year, a capsule summer collection. I really wanted the focus to be on fun & wanted a stress free shoot which is what I got thanks to the dream team of tog Josie Richardson <a href="http://josierichardson.squarespace.com/">http://josierichardson.squarespace.com/</a>& models Lara Cresser & Heloise - Laure Ruinard (who also did the make up). And talk about the universe providing...I lost my hair stylist as I had to change days at the last minute & once we got to the location a hairdresser just happened to be there & was happy to help out. She did a great job to, so thanks to Carly Hammond for stepping in then & there. <br />
<br />
To top it off we had a fantastic location which really made the whole experience stress free & enjoyable, at Kobblers <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KobblersBardon?fref=ts">https://www.facebook.com/KobblersBardon?fref=ts </a>a cool little joint in the heart of Bardon with the best chocolate milkshakes & coffee. It really has a great vibe thanks in great part to the owner Scott & is a lot more than coffee shop. And thanks to Kat & Kat with assisting us as well.<br />
<br />
Here's some behind the scenes shots I took with my crappay little camera, I didn't take many....<br />

Wowsers, I haven't updated for a while, life gets very busy & since I've started a tumblr <a href="http://shirleyfracture.tumblr.com/">http://shirleyfracture.tumblr.com/</a> it's been a lot quicker to post a photo now & then but I prefer this blog for longer posts & for passing on info. And please enjoy this little musical selection while we catch up. It is something I just love love love & he is playing in my neck of the woods about now so get out & see him if you can. <br />
<br />
So....starting up a business is hard. Doing it with no funds is harder & being a fashion label .........well, you get the drift. Since starting up under the name Shirley Fracture Couture a couple of years ago, I don't know how I managed to pull out three collections from thin air & get them onto the ground. I have designs & ideas coming out the wahzoo, that is not the problem, that is in fact all I have & therefore is my strength & has enabled me to achieve what I have done with little to no resources. <br />
<br />
So....the prospect of coming up with another collection for Spring Summer 2012/13 was daunting to say the least & I was feeling pretty exhausted by this point & just didn't see how I could pull another collection out of thin air. But I just had to pull up my super stylish socks (yes, I did some socks, I'll include a photo of said socks) & deal with it. Hence Shirley Fracture Couture S/S 12/13 Rewind Collection was born.<br />

Photo of said socks................<br />
<br />
Yes there are new designs, perhaps just not so many as previous collections & I have reworked some previous designs that needed more attention or were simply just favourites. A photo shoot was organised, photographer, check, two models, check, hair, check, make up, check, two assistants, check, yay, how great to be organised. Then for various reasons, people began dropping out like crazy, mostly last minute, scramble like a mad woman to get it re-organised. Then we turn up to the location to find it has been double booked, then in the middle of the shoot they wanted to close it down............but we prevailed & got it done.<br />
<br />
I have to say I have never had so many dramas around one shoot before but the photos are great. We shot with film which was a new or old experience, depending which way you look at it. So a big thank you to Josie Richardson Photography, Heloise Laure Ruinard & Cammie Nott Models, Meghan Bell MUA & Willis Lim Shoot Assistant. A great little team to work with, that was the easy part. A selection of the results is below.<br />

Next I participated in Junkie Couture II held by Reverse Garbage & SFC was on the runway opening night & the exhibition of the couture is on until the 27th, so if you are in Brisbane go check it out, you can buy stuff as well, from the exhibition & the warehouse (I have my eye on some boxes). <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151044748681817&set=a.10150650635641817.388370.104330471816&type=1&theater">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151044748681817&set=a.10150650635641817.388370.104330471816&type=1&theater</a><br />

It's give away time .........& what a great way to kick it off with Lenny & Prince, enjoy the listening while you're doing the reading & the looking.<br />
Thought we'd do something to help our American friends celebrate their getting of Independence way back in the 1700's. So we're celebrating the red white & blue 'Shirley 'style.<br />

It's getting chilly now here in Australia, time to pull on those tights & leggings. This post is dedicated to just that. These are all Shirley Fracture Couture. Put some pep in your winter wardrobe, plain black legs everywhere all the time is just boring & looks like a uniform out there that everyone is wearing. Don't be afraid to be fashion leader, you will be noticed wearing these. And please enjoy the musical accompaniment, something different for you.<br />

A couple of months ago I got an email that got me excited. Fashion Society Brisbane <a href="http://www.fashionsociety.com.au/">http://www.fashionsociety.com.au/</a> invited me or should I say , my label Shirley Fracture Couture, along with three other Brisbane designers/labels, to be involved in a fashion parade. But this was not just a parade like the ones we see every week(as lovely as some are), this was an event the likes of which Brisbane had not seen before or within memory at least. And speaking of memory, Memory International were bringing Ruth Flowers aka Mamy Rock to The Met night club in Fortitude Valley & Fashion Society were starting the event with a fashion parade. <br />
<br />
I really wanted to be involved but at first didn't know how I could make it happen. There were the logistics, the costs, the timing.......it wouldn't be easy but could I do it? 'Shirleys' theme for 2012 is 'women who rock' as 'Shirley' does & Mamy Rock is a huge inspiration to me. She is hugely popular the world over & is the words oldest DJ. She began this career in later life after the death of her husband, deciding she didn't want to just sit at home alone & fade away & through her close relationship with her grandson. Find out more about her here <a href="http://www.mamyrock.com/home.htm">http://www.mamyrock.com/home.htm</a><br />

<br />
But....I was going to Melbourne for my nephews wedding & then on to Adelaide to catch up with friends & so wouldn't even be here....bad timing. Plus the cost of the trip to Melbourne while trying to get my Autumn/Winter 2012 collection done. Although I was flattered to be asked, after weighing it all up, I had to decline the gig. But thank goodness the gorgeous Leila (who knew how much I wanted this) from Fashion Society wouldn't take no for an answer & came up with creative options & ideas that allowed me, after a bit of re-arranging, to say a big fat yes. Adelaide was out, I was coming straight back to Brisbane & arriving back the day before the show, I had to get everything ready weeks ahead of time before I left for Melbourne. (Adelaide, I will see you later in the year.)<br />
Luckily my work experience assistant had just started the fortnight before I was due to leave & was on hand to help me get everything organised & retain my sanity. Was it all worth it, Hell Yes. Was it perfect? It was perfectly what is was. Was it a success? All indications are positive. Would I do it again? Absolutely. I am so very impressed by Leila from Fashion Society & the effort she put in on my behalf & to make it possible for me to be involved. It was her vision to take the opportunity to highlight & promote local Brisbane labels at this, Ruth Flowers very first gig in Australia in a way that R O C K E D. <br />

The parade was kicked off by Dirty Mob, who were great & really started the night off with a bang.<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dirty-Mob/80936140950">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dirty-Mob/80936140950</a><br />
<br />
Other labels featured were newbie Faith & Lola, Speak No Ink & Black Milk. Of course I will say that Shirley Fracture Couture ruled the runway with it's inherent theatricality & quirkiness. The models really shone in their outfits & had a lot of fun with it. The crowds reaction to 'Shirley' was fantastic & it was exciting to be amongst it all, the atmosphere was electric. For my part, it was a bit of a retrospective as well a preview of the latest collection for Autumn/Winter 2012, 'Fractured'. Oh & my logo on the giant screen.........friken' awesome. <br />

So not my usual Friday night these days. The parade began at 11 pm then Mamy Rock was on after midnight & I now had a shoe full of beer from getting stuck in the middle of a fight on the stairs, the venue was absolutely packed. I'm glad I was able to hang in there & this was helped in the end by security following me about with a chair ( I learnt from the Dresden Dolls gig to request seating as I can't stand around for hours on end anymore, as sad as that makes me, I have to face reality). <br />
<br />
Then just after 2 am, when I was ensconced on one of the very comfy sofas in the VIP room the woman herself, Ruth Flowers/ Mamy Rock appeared amidst flashes from cameras & surrounded by the buzzing throng of her entourage. It was like this before she went on also, people taking photos & interviews etc it seemed never ending & I wondered how she really felt about it all & indeed how she managed it all. She was in the middle of a world tour, she had just celebrated her 69th birthday but I have to say, I think she has been 69 for a while now. I now also think I know why she wears those big dark glasses but she is well practised at striking a pose. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hfFxuTHUrf0/T4IhlUejHYI/AAAAAAAAAKY/vpSNEk3m2B0/s1600/461541_215163118583451_100002692942422_309849_1460946480_o+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hfFxuTHUrf0/T4IhlUejHYI/AAAAAAAAAKY/vpSNEk3m2B0/s640/461541_215163118583451_100002692942422_309849_1460946480_o+(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Yes this is her job & she is used to it but I however, am not & it is quite confronting to be surrounded by people & cameras flashing etc & I hate having my photo taken at the best of times, hence, I look a bit like deer in the headlights. But it was so worth it, she grabbed my hand & cuddled in & I have to say, her hands are so soft & she is so cuddly you just want to cuddle her any way. She asked me to stay sitting with her on the comfy sofa & I really wanted to but thought I would probably be lynched by those waiting to have their photo taken with her. Anyway, that is the result of all that & I know there will be some really awful ones out there as I know I had stupid looks on my face & didn't know which camera & what direction I was supposed to be looking, hopefully they will be deleted. <br />
<br />
My usual photographer Josie Richardson was there also so there will be a few more shots to come of the parade itself. I look forward to seeing what she has captured. Overall it was fucking brilliant & I really enjoyed doing a joint parade with other labels, all the pressure isn't on you. In the beginning, it wasn't easy giving up creative control to someone else but I just had to take a deep breath & go with the flow. So far everything I've done, I've managed every stage from concept of the design in my head to styling & photographing a collection so, it was a good experience for me to learn about something new & to learn more about myself in the process. I would definitely do it again & I firmly believe Brisbane fashion needs to be presented more creatively like this & needs more confidence in itself & it's place in the world. <br />
<br />
It is certainly Shirley Fractures' raison d'etre to be bold, to be fearless. 'Fashion for the fearless....' for sure. If you wear 'Shirley' you will be noticed & are the kind of person who dares to be different & is more interested in the aesthetics of fashion than what is 'in fashion'. It usually works out that Shirley Fracture is ahead of the trends & is always in style as the designs are based on classic styles & traditions but with a twist. It is not mass produced. It is created by hand, custom made to suit the customers requirements for individuality, is limited edition & in these ways is truly 'couture'. <br />

Before I go, it is Shirley Fractures birthday this month, it was a year ago the label was offiically launched & I'm looking for ideas of how to celebrate....any ideas or anything you want to see 'Shirley' doing, let me know. Until next time.... SHIRLEY FRACTURE COUTURE ROCKS..loves women who ROCK, like Mamy Rock who as 'the worlds oldest DJ' is 'Still Rocking' & if you are reading this then YOU ROCK. XX<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">Hey there gorgeous people. . So it's March already..yep, master of stating the obvious, but we got here so fast. It's been a good start to the year. Lets summarise. You know Shirley loves to ROCK & women who ROCK is tending to be a theme for this year. I know a few personally but have come across some new ones professionally who are not only talented but are inspirational & gorgewah.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">I wanted to put together a </span><span style="text-align: justify;">video of some of my gorgeous photos from previous shoots but the music accompanying it is really important to me. So began a rather frustrating process until one day late last year I happened upon Alina Simone, specifically this track <a href="http://alinasimone.bandcamp.com/track/beautiful-machine">http://alinasimone.bandcamp.com/track/beautiful-machine</a> which I fell in love with & was pleasantly surprised to learn the woman herself is a really cool & lovely person. Bam music dilemma over, after weeks of trying to contact people to find out about copyright to use songs & getting no replies, I had the music & I couldn't be happier about the result.</span></div>

So I've put together three little videos now & they display the images beautifully although my video making skills could benefit from some experience. I'm planning on doing more videos this year to highlight some local women who ROCK. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then something serendipitous happened. I've loved Amanda Palmer <a href="http://blog.amandapalmer.net/" style="text-align: left;">http://blog.amandapalmer.net/</a> for quite some time now & who should be connected to her but Alina Simone. They are friends & have worked together in the past. Both inspirational women to me. I love to see people doing what they love & being successful at it, it makes me really happy. Amanda is a solo artist but also in a band The Dresden Dolls <a href="http://www.dresdendolls.com/" style="text-align: left;">http://www.dresdendolls.com/</a> who toured Oz & N.Z. in the new year. So it was in early January, I spotted photos of Amanda Palmer sitting up in a tree playing one of her ninja gigs at Occupy Melbourne, in Melbourne of course. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my first thoughts was 'get out of that tree crazy lady, you'll snag your leggings', ha ha. Luckily photographer Francesco Vicenzi was on hand, his work is amazing check it out here, <a href="http://www.francescovicenzi.eu/eng/pensieri/">http://www.francescovicenzi.eu/eng/pensieri/</a> , & luckily he seemed to like the 'Walk This Way' leggings, get them here, <a href="http://shirleyfracturecouture.bigcartel.com/product/walk-this-way-legging">http://shirleyfracturecouture.bigcartel.com/product/walk-this-way-legging</a> as he took few shots focused on them. Thanks so much Vicenzo.</div>

I've also been searching this year for a work experience assistant. There is so much work to do there is no way I can do it all on my own anymore. This was no easy task either. I interviewed some really great young women & after a couple of false starts, I think I have found a keeper with super assistant Kaylee. There's her leggies above, in a sample pair of purple leggings she took a liking to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It has been difficult to say the least, to get my business, this business of 'Shirley', off to a flying start. I've been working hard on my label for over year now, I couldn't tell you how many hours, a lot. And I absolutely don't mind the work, I am passionate about what I'm doing & am happy to work hard to achieve my dreams.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
With that end in mind I also launched a crowd funding project to try & get some finance to fund the next collection & keep the business growing. I won't reach my target at this rate so please pledge even a dollar & share with all you know. I really need this but it's worth a try right? If the target isn't reached none of the pledges are given, or taken for that matter. Please have a look <a href="http://www.pozible.com/index.php/archive/index/4886/description/0/0" style="text-align: left;">http://www.pozible.com/index.php/archive/index/4886/description/0/0</a> Wowser, just realised it's half over, eeek.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So I now find myself on the countdown to my nephews wedding in Melbourne next week. While there I can't wait to pop into Pony Boy Parlour who stock 'Shirley' meet the lovely owners & check it all out.<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ponyboyparlour">https://www.facebook.com/ponyboyparlour</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Until then I'm madly trying to get the winter collection ready as when I get back from my leetle trip I'm joining Ruth Flowers, Mamy Rock at the Met here in Brisbane, March 30 th. Yeah baby, woo hoo. Love her. <iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/B8Mrkat6tDs?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Another woman who ROCKS well & truly. 'Shirley' will be participating in a fashion show along side Mamy Rock & I'll be showing a bit of a retrospective along with previewing the latest Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection. If you are in Brisbane I really hope you come along. It's going to be a wild night. I'll certainly keep you updated. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Well it's been a great start to the year yes? I'm really excited to show you the winter collection as well. I'm very happy with it, I think each collection gets better than the last & will be shooting it after the Mamy Rock gig. OK so that's the news for now, really looking forward to what comes next. With some of the things that have happened this year so far I've thought 'yay, my hard work is starting to pay off' , there is still such long way to go but I'm enjoying the trip. XX</div>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B9bHN7IFb9U/TzRsiUDZ5pI/AAAAAAAAAF0/KexvGKU9UHE/s1600/_dsc0493_9565-edit+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B9bHN7IFb9U/TzRsiUDZ5pI/AAAAAAAAAF0/KexvGKU9UHE/s320/_dsc0493_9565-edit+copy.jpg" width="214" /></a>Have you seen this gorgewah Skull Stud Maxi dress? Looks great on the equally gorgewah model, Lara, right?<br />
<br />
It is hand dyed, hand painted, has hand sewn ribbon detail & is an up-cycled vintage slip & is only $85. Some of you think that's reasonable right? Some of you are probably thinking 'only'.... that's expensive, right? Well maybe reserve your opinion until you have read this. <br />
<br />
It probably took me an hour & a half to find the slip, good quality vintage items are getting harder to find & are at the same time getting more expensive, especially as I like to find ones that have never been worn. Some still have original tags attached & fewer even come in their original packaging.<br />
<br />
<br />
Next is the design process. Sometimes I may look at something & within 5 minutes have the design down & know exactly how I want it to look. At other times, it may be something I mull over for months & that develops slowly with adjustments made along the way. Ideas added, subtracted . For the sake of this exercise we'll say 1 hour.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu_xcQlUir-5wZGPGA_ualf3_M9M2QsASDIK6fUyp88SjVX6PD4Gaov1iJ8JVl0DgRs0opleIn2I6b0hCSc1Bdp70Wsa8ABj34ouVV9M2-m71Bcs0wEmU9-2Yij3_7JN-AL1oubIojeAP3/s1600/S7302568.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu_xcQlUir-5wZGPGA_ualf3_M9M2QsASDIK6fUyp88SjVX6PD4Gaov1iJ8JVl0DgRs0opleIn2I6b0hCSc1Bdp70Wsa8ABj34ouVV9M2-m71Bcs0wEmU9-2Yij3_7JN-AL1oubIojeAP3/s320/S7302568.JPG" width="160" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Then there is the cost of the fabric dye, the fabric paints & the ribbon. Doing the actual dying probably takes 40 minutes, the painting of the design onto the garment, 1 & a 1/2 hours & the hand sewing of the ribbon, another 2 hours. Ta daaaa, done right? No not quite yet.<br />
<br />
Next it has to be photographed, which for one look, if I push the photographer along, half an hour. But before that there is the models hair & makeup, styling of the shot, setting up the shot.....oh I nearly forgot, deciding on the location which involves scouting a location &, travelling time, but I'm not even going to try & attribute a time value to all that.<br />
<br />
So the photo is in the bag, done right. No no, don't be so anxious. Next is the loading & listing of the item to the web store, a time consuming task. There is the description, the details eg, size, oh, hang on, convert vintage size to modern size first, postage costs, wait, work out the weight of the parcel to be, what part of the world is it going to, how much it would be if posted with another item. Now you can load the photos once you have re sized them of course. Let's be generous & say that little process takes 20 minutes. <br />
<br />
I also like to post new items to facebook as well but that doesn't take long right? Probably not, if facebook is working smoothly & people don't have any questions that is.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzVpdXu6Qs96e_o6Bxq_rIYu2U484-PHKcFfclDtV4spDlaOmq9lisQEa7U1w3YfHWK2d_4-1L4j4W_VPcWcSFFvXRMjCTksX_EUPayY92n_AJcOr1U6IOHIhr609YQJ-M0fshv9cOOcKk/s1600/_dsc0476_9548+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzVpdXu6Qs96e_o6Bxq_rIYu2U484-PHKcFfclDtV4spDlaOmq9lisQEa7U1w3YfHWK2d_4-1L4j4W_VPcWcSFFvXRMjCTksX_EUPayY92n_AJcOr1U6IOHIhr609YQJ-M0fshv9cOOcKk/s320/_dsc0476_9548+copy.jpg" width="214" /></a></div>
<br />
So there it is our gorgeous Skull Stud maxi dress for $85. Lets break it down, materials cost around $45. What is the average wage these days? Around $33 per hour, minimum rate around $15. Well let's say $20 per hour, that's fair right? In total that's nearly 7 hours which is $140. Total $185 dollars. Yes I've rounded up the hours but I hadn't yet mentioned the fees involved in a sale, IE., paypal or bank fees & other associated costs like webpage & domain fees, transport costs, time in labelling & packaging etc & so on. <br />
<br />
Most artists & crafters & makers of things by hand know that you never get paid for all the hours you put in, most other occupations do though. But hey, we love what we do & nothing makes me happier than seeing people wearing my creations. <br />
<br />
So keeping all this in mind & also armed with the knowledge that 'Shirley' garments are either limited edition or one offs, this is not mass produced off the rack here, I 'm thinking $85 for this dress is not reasonable, is not expensive, it is in fact inexpensive & the purchaser ends up with a cool, unique garment that they won't run into someone else wearing.

I know it has a been a big year for 'Shirley' & 2012 is set to be <b>huge</b>.<br />
<br />
So much exciting stuff planned for the new year & there is just so much to do I can no longer do it on my own.<br />
That said, I am looking for a work experience assistant. If you are studying or just completed studies or are wanting to build your resume' for example & need experience for your career.......it is not paid position but there will be some opportunities for remuneration.<br />
<br />
If you want a career in any of these- <b>fashion, business management, retail & sales, marketing & pr, event management, stylist</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
If you have any of the following skills - <b>computer skills, administrative, overlocking, video, photography, hair & make up, research, grant applications, networking</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
A willingness to muck in & help out where needed will put you in good stead. A vehicle is desirable but not necessary. <br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b> plus much more</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
Of course you don't have to have all of these things & one of the important aspects is that you can be flexible & creative & have a sharp mind, & that you suit the work environment that is 'Shirley' world. <br />
<br />
The location is Paddington in Brisbane & is poodle friendly. There are also sometimes foster dogs that stay with us until they are adopted. So if you are allergic or don't like dogs then the position is not for you. <br />

Yes I attended some markets on Sunday at West End. The experience should have been like this.....& by the way, man Iggy is looking good.<br />

That pretty much sums it up.

<br />
Drawn 1/11/11 the winner was Debbie. I left the video of the draw up for the working week & then had to take it down. Seriously it was that bad but did afford quite few people with a very good laugh. And if you didn't see it, your life won't be any the worse for it.<br />
<br />
Although not well attended, I will be holding more competitions so keep an eye open & good luck next time.<br />
<br />
Thank you to those who participated, I really appreciate your interest.

Well 'Shirleys' latest collection is done done done. We shot it a couple of weeks ago indoors & down at the local skate park. I'm waiting on the photos to come through so I can share with you all.<br />
<br />
Worked with Bekk of Ragdoll Rampage on hair for the first time & what a great chicky babe she is. We actually randomly met at a roller derby bout a few weeks before, very serendipitous.<br />
<br />
And on MU for the first time with 'Shirley' was Meghan Bell who really worked in wonderfully with the team & was able to interpret my obtuse instructions.<br />
<br />
Helper extraordinaire Miranda Ryan was on hand & worked tirelessly & her friend Oliver was on hand at the park to help out whether it be supporting the photog (literally from falling off a fence at one stage), holding things or skating.<br />
<br />
Speaking of photogs, once again Josie Richardson 'brung it' & I feel blessed to work with her.<br />
<br />
And the models Lara Cresser & Heloise Laure Ruiard....what can I say, beautiful inside & out, & always professional. Those girls can rock any look & are great for dealing with 'Shirleys' special requirements, like the change room at the park was freakin' palatial, hahaha.<br />

Of course I forgot to take my camera to the skate park for behind the scenes pics but once we got there, being school holidays, we were inundated with wee scooter riders very keen to be in the shots.<br />
<br />
Brandon was there with his hand painted skateboard & was happy to pose for us until he had to head off to work. Then the very patient Al Burke stepped off his skate board & into our shots. Although I don't think he minded too much, haha, he may have wondered at some stage what he got himself into.<br />
<br />
Mysterious 'man on a bike' also supplied us with some great action for some shots & we just managed to get the last outfit photographed before totally losing the light. Phew.<br />
<br />
So I just wanna say a huge thank you to all involved. 'Shirley' loves you.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3095208258931727685.post-82496281804854357002011-10-02T22:30:00.000-07:002011-10-04T07:46:15.802-07:00Rock Your World Leggings Giveaway<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">HHellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/pMDn6V7ZLhE?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>Shirley is happy to announce her first giveaway here.
