The line has been featured in top magazines and sell in over 80 boutiques in Australia and now they are ready to take over the States.

HM: What is the biggest mistake a woman can make when getting dressed?
K-M: Not dressing for your size.. if you’re a 12 don’t try and squeeze into an 8… not flattering! And don’t wear too many trends at once, mix them in with your personal style. You don’t want to be a fashion victim!

HM: What advice would you give to young fashion professionals trying to make their fame?
K-M: Know your market… find out who it is your designing for and target it. Research and it’s better to do a few things really well, than a thousand things half arsed!
