00:00I

00:05Definitely remember my in first impression of you was obviously the first time we worked together

00:09The first time we met was one of your shows at

00:13Australian Sydney Fashion Week. Yeah, and my first impression

00:18Was like this man is a fucking genius the way that you create garments and way that you embody femininity and

00:27With with your designs is something I've always been so

00:31Obsessed with and something that I really appreciate and I love and I adore

00:36I'm always casting people that I feel like a synergy with even if it might be made up in my head

00:42Yeah, but I'm always looking at someone like even when I looked at you. There was a kind of

00:48Don't take this wrong over. There's almost like a naive it to you. I've always been very philanthropic as well

00:54I think that's something that I just organically gravitated towards as I've gotten older is just helping people and my success

01:03Doesn't mean much to me if I can't share it. I

01:07Knew as soon as I shot this movie that I wanted to do a custom look the synergy between your

01:15creativity and

01:17What I wanted to in

01:18Encapsulate for this moment was just so aligned

01:23Your garments represent a very beautiful

01:27Quality between feminine and masculine and I feel like it's a beautiful thing that's combined

01:32There isn't any part of the dress that isn't there for like no reason

01:35Yeah, which I love which I which is really strange for me because it's the first time I feel like I've really analyzed a piece

01:41That I've created

01:43Whereas often I'll be like, yeah that feels right and just move on with it

01:47Whereas now I'm like, oh, yeah, that really does reference this and does say this or does suggest this or does yeah imply this

01:57Sustainability is something as well that I hold close to my heart. It's very near and dear to my culture

02:03Being indigenous Australian, you know, the land is is what gives us life

02:07So it's important that we live in an ecosystem that protects the land. I very specifically

02:13Just because I know my body so well, I love things that have a high split. I love corsets strapless. I

02:22imagined like maybe like a queen

02:25From like the really old times. I wanted it to also kind of feel like if she was going to a ball

02:30Yeah in the middle of an apocalypse and she had to be resourceful like this is her kind of like pulling a bunch of stuff

02:36together

02:38Also, I love that it kind of looks and feels that way with the skirt and the ruching and the draping and

02:44then the beautiful thing that you added to it, which is totally like

02:49your

02:51Amazing creative mind was like this beautiful delicate like ribbing that came out

02:58I mean, I love working with artists. I'm such a creative myself and I just think

03:02Creativity brings so much curiosity to the world and brings so much imagination and I think that's how we expand as

03:10a

03:12species

03:13Even engaging with creative even if you're not creative yourself is feeding you

03:18Yeah in your imagination feeding your desire feeding your like yeah thing to kind of be part of something. Yeah from my experience

03:27When I do see someone in that, you know, someone is someone is saying to me I felt protected I felt like beautiful

03:34I felt inspired. I felt all these Kings and so it kind of elevates

03:37people's thinking I

03:41Love that it always

03:43Resonates with the journey with you and this whole this whole experience

03:47so I'm so grateful for your time and your energy and you're just

03:51Bringing your art to it because it just makes it what it needs to be and I love you so much

03:56You
