About
EDITION began back in 2011 during my final year studying Fashion at the Canberra Institute of Technology — and it’s been evolving ever since. After graduating, I worked from a graduate studio at CIT, then spent six years at the Australian National Capital Artists (ANCA) studios in Dickson. These days, you’ll find me designing and making from my studio in Waramanga, ACT, where every EDITION piece is created.
At the heart of EDITION is my zero-waste pattern-making method, 'Selvedge to Selvedge.' It means I use the entire piece of fabric — no offcuts, nothing to landfill. It also keeps things interesting! Rather than sketching fixed designs, I let the garments take shape during the making process. That element of surprise is a big part of my practice and gives each piece its own personality. The result? Sculptural, multifunctional garments that approach sustainability in a creative, wearable way. For the past few years I have been collaborating with Gurindji Waanyi artist Sarrita King, presenting at Melbourne Fashion Week, PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival, and Country to Couture. My work has also found its way to the Kluge-Ruhe Art Museum in the United States. Big ideas? Wild collaborations? Reach out! Let’s do it. Alice Acknowledgement of Country I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Country on which we live and work, Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples. I pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. |
