Hi Breanna! Tell us a bit about yourself and about your label.

Growing up on the sunny beaches of the central coast, I began my fashion journey by completing a Bachelor of Fashion Design at ‘The Fashion Design Studio’ Ultimo TAFE. Over the last few years I have been pouring my heart and soul into my label and have been unbelievably blessed to meet so many amazing creatives along the way. I always think it’s important to combine creative energy and different skill sets.

What sparked your interest in fashion?

I have always been extremely creative, dabbling in music, visual arts and dance. I also loved working with my hands and got great satisfaction from personally creating something start to finish. So I guess fashion design naturally fell into my path. My specific interest in couture stems from the challenge and skill that I always saw as aspirational. Most importantly I love how it made clients feel: glamorous, confident, sensual.

What was the inspiration behind your SS18 graduate collection?

This collection took reference from historical art and detailed architecture in direct contrast to modernity and freedom represented by wind movement. The SS18 Graduate Collection features exquisite opulent hand detailing and dramatic luxury designs. Emphasis was placed on the desire to create immaculately detailed garments that weren’t solely constricted to event-wear but showing an organic blend for more accessible garments to pair with everyday life without compromising on the quality and detailing. This collection encapsulates the heart of the brand and showcases divine attention to detail without compromising fit and functionality.

Do you have a favourite from your collection?

Some days I do… but then it always changes. Sometimes if I haven’t seen the pieces in a while, I take them out and am refreshed- falling in love with them all over again haha.

Describe to us what your design process is like.

I always evolve the designs from a sensation or expression inspired by my muse women. I try not to let anything complicate or cloud my process but just let whatever feels natural flow… In saying that I love trying something new and pushing my comfort zones.

What is your personal fashion style? Do you think this influences the way you create your pieces?

My personal style is a mix between vintage luxury and refined individuality. I absolutely love vintage shopping and sorting through racks to find hidden gems. I also love going into beautifully presented stores with a few golden pieces and trying on every possible combination. Drawing upon these two very different styles, I mix and match the pieces to create a unique blend.

If you could dress anyone in the world, who would it be?

Taylah Roberts and Samantha Harris are two Aussie beauties that have always been a muse to me and of course I would love to dress them. Even more so, I always find I’m drawn to unknown women on the street who have a unique style or attitude that I would love to see in my clothes. I always find myself gazing at beautiful women while stopping for coffee; they can totally tell I’m checking them out haha!

Other than fashion, what do you also love?

Beach, sun and salt. My idea of perfection is diving into the ocean on a scorching hot day, only to retreat to the sand for a summer sunset. You can also find me exploring and finding hidden natural gems, especially star gazing. Yes, I’m a hopeless romantic.

What’s next in store for Breeanna Maree?

I am excited to announce the release of the 2019 BREEANNA MAREE COLLECTION! Combining exquisite 3D embroidery and hand-beaded surface detailing with seek modern design lines, the collection boasts wearable luxury. This evening wear range is inspired by the everyday women, drawing upon their aspirations and feminine mentality. A sense of high end sophistication with a glorious modern touch presents the Breeanna Maree fingerprint. With every look posing a different style and shape, there is something for everyone. This collection is due to be released later this year for a late November Debut. Make sure you stay posted and follow me to keep updated!

What is a quote or motto that you live by?

“Forever is composed of nows.” - Emily Dickinson This reminds me to not take life too seriously and to live in the right now.
