THEIR STORY
“It is an honour to be invited as Urban
Couture Ambassadors in Joondalup.
This means a lot to us as it coincides
with us researching into our archives
for several fabulous projects. Working
together in Sydney in the 70’s saw the
beginning of our collaboration and
long-term friendship and it is timely
that we can share some of our
colourful stories with the young artists
and designers in Western Australia.
It will be exciting for us to see the
innovation that is happening in
Joondalup and we are looking
forward to being involved in so
many special programs”
