When I was 13, I was a fan of Stan Kenton and fainted away when he gave me an autographed single of "Willow Weep for Me" sung by the great June Christie. Years later I designed outfits for his band with different coloured vests for each section (blue vests for the horns, brown vests for percussion, etc.)
I have always admired the dedication musicians place on their art and have had a great time and many wonderful moments dressing some of the best for album covers, jazz jams, and concert performances. I love jazz and have had musicians like Peter Appleyard and Washington Savage perform for my runway shows and Joe Sealy compose pieces especially for the shows. Two of my "musical fashion" favourites have gone gold and are now a classic part of my collection.
"Music is my Life…"
A T-shirt in soft 100% Cotton that says it all and says it forever. It's washable, wearable, and tells the world that music is your life - well almost!
Piano Scarf
I once took piano lessons and fell in love with the black & white beauty of the keys. The result was my Piano scarf. A light but warm keyboard that hits a high note in style and looks great anytime and anywhere. A favourite of Vidal Sassoon! You can slip it off and use it as a dust cover on your grand or stand-up piano when you're busy making music somewhere else.
