WINDOW ON THE WORLD
Australia Special
By Isobel.Stardoll
Sydney-based designer Mamie Skillings founded her label in 2000 & is known for both her expert cutting & quirky & playful use of colour, print & texture quality. Born in Italy, Nicola Finetti later moved to Sydney where he launched his eponymous label in the mid 1990s. His collections are often anchored with bold textural details & contrasting graphics.
Ayers Rock – Uluru
Ayers Rock is also known by its Aboriginal name “Uluru”. It’s a sacred part of Aboriginal creation mythology, or Dreamtime. Uluru is considered 1 of the natural wonders of the world & 1 of Australia’s most recognizable icons.
Australia Day
The tradition of having January 26 as Australia Day is a recent 1, it wasn’t until 1994 did that it began to be a regularly celebrated as a public holiday. Still controversial for many Aussies – it commemorates both the arrival of the British fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788 - & as “Survival Day” – the survival of Aboriginal people & culture in the centuries since that same event.ARTICLE BY ISOBEL.STARDOLL, NOT ME.
