EPISODE 10: Bringing knowledge from the international fashion stage to the classroom.

It is my absolute pleasure to share this special episode with great Australian designer, Lydia Pearson.

Lydia has been a fashion designer and entrepreneur from a young age. She speaks about her lifelong passion for clothing and dressing up, and starting her first label with little knowledge of the fashion industry.

In 1989 Lydia Pearson and Pamela Easton began their collaborative fashion brand, Easton Pearson, which has become an important part of Australian fashion culture. Their beautiful fashion collections were inspired by their love of vintage garments, art and craft. Lydia and Pam built strong connections with artisan producers in India and sold their fashion collections around the world.

Fast forward to 2018, Lydia is now a fashion lecturer at the Queensland University of Technology. Her mission is to help nurture and support young local talent. She plans to establish a space and structure to foster artisanal designers and makers, and to help them develop sustainable businesses.

I hope you enjoy the show :) !
