The designers behind Melbourne-made ‘a name is a label’, Lina Didzys and Nicole Fautsen, create their one-of pieces from second-hand, vintage and new-source fabrics.

Inspired by surrealism and the attitude of the 80’s their designs are edgy and sculptural to the max!
Designer Nico says, “The concept behind these four dresses is ‘stage wear for the streets’.

“The dresses use a combination of textiles, juxtaposing different textures, patterns and colours. All the fabrics are re-used, either because they were discarded or excess”.
“The materials are transformed into innovative new garments that are playful and unexpected. The work provides new possibilities, giving new life to the materials themselves, and demonstrating new possibilities to the wearer”.
