When did you first become interested in becoming a fashion/jewelry designer?

When I was in high school aged 16.  I took a class after school for half a year with a renowned jeweller Patsy Meares and loved it! We made all sorts of things. I still have some of the pieces. I am horrified by them ha!

We are working on Resort 2021 and Pre Fall 2021. I love the anchovy cuff of course!
