Inspired by Nature
It’s difficult to bypass the picturesque view of the North Western Australian coastline and not feel inspired by the beauty of nature surrounding you. For two creatives, the Indian Ocean and the contrast of its coastline provided the ultimate recipe for their unique swimwear line, Gypsea. Surf photographer Scott Bauer joined designer Emma Jones on their collaborative venture that fuses nature to design unique swimwear using the female form as their canvas.
Timeless Style
Growing up, Jodie Hebb would watch her mother sewing pieces for her to wear on their farm in Western Australia. “I always admired her creativity in making clothes that were functional and fashionable,” she said. But despite a constant enjoyment and appreciation for fashion, Jodie never dreamt of a career in fashion for herself. “Mum dresses to flatter her age yet always look modern and quite unique,” she said. “She taught me a lot about dressmaking and she’s inspired me to believe I could create something myself that people enjoy.“
