I see textiles not just as fabric, but as a form of cultural communication. - Sara Thorn

How wonderful that you have remembered Sara and Bruce, such pioneers in Australian fashion.
I sold their wonderful designs in my boutique from
1986-1992 from the Abyss label to Funk Essentials and Konka. Their custom prints were so ahead of their time and I just wish I had saved and catalogued them.
Alas they were thrown into the 'Abyss' along with the Sue Clowes and Katie Pye garments.....we do such silly things when we are young and carefree!!
I'm in love with that mermaid throw!
AD - and it's on sale!
TD - So ahead. A friend from Melbourne had some fantastic pieces from ST and Abyss.
Haven't heard of SC in years, loved her Foundry pieces. Whatever happened to Pye she was incredible?
