Textile Lab

There’s something pretty special about seeing an idea grow wings 🩷💛💙

Dani first came to Textile Lab as a work experience student from Curtin, and she was an absolute delight from day one. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of mentoring her through the final stages of her graduate collection, printing her artwork onto fabric, and then working together to turn that momentum into the launch of DNLA the Label.

It’s been a real pleasure helping her on this journey. Messages like this are such a lovely reminder of why I do what I do: “Thank you again for your support… I’m so excited for what’s next and to keep building this together… Thank you for helping to make my dreams exist in the world!”

And let me tell you, it takes a village to launch a label. Shout outs to Dani’s mum, boyfriend and classmates for cheering her on and helping pull it all together. And to my own team, Nga, Emily and Mia, who helped make the garments, and Sarina, who came along to the markets with me. It takes talent, teamwork and a whole lot of people willing to believe in the dream before everyone else can see it.

Great minds… dress alike? 💙🩷💛
