My Gasoline Rainbow

Well it's upon us again, (my how time flies) but this year my involvement is limited to that of a Blogger. Being involved in an event like this is such an incredible experience, and if you're interested in being in the fashion industry in any capacity I highly recommend you volunteering.  Apart from getting hands on experience and getting the opportunity to learn and meet from some of the best creatives and designers in the industry, it's money can't buy cred for your Resume! Unfortunately, last year my involvement was hindered by some personal issues which caused severe stress and triggered my Bipolar and I was unable to finish my role as Official Blogger, which was devastating to me as I had worked hard and was excited to be part of the QTFWA 2013. At the time, I was still keeping my illness secret so it was even harder. But it's a new year, and I'm so excited to be able to attend the Up & Coming Swimwear Parade which is on Friday 30 May at 6.30p...

In conjunction in Surfers Paradise Alliance and other local businesses, Chevron Renaissance Shopping Centre brought Surfers Paradise Boulevard to life with a Street Party on Friday night.

www.amoreandsorvete.com When did Amore & Sorvete first launch? Amore & Sorvete was launched on the February 1st, 2009. Who is the designer behind A & S? I started Amore & Sorvete when I was 21 years old after working full-time in a completely different industry. I realised quickly that my love and passion for swimwear, designing and beach culture meant  designing swimwear was what I was born to do! I quit my job and moved to Bali to work full time on developing my brand. Within three years I opened two stores, showcased at Miami Swim Show and secured a number of big online stockists including ASOS, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Shopbop, to name a few. I love what I do and wouldn't change my job for the world! What was your concept behind A & S? The concept behind Amore & Sorvete  was to create a swimwear brand for young to middle- aged women that made them feel sexy, confident and comfortable.  It's also impo...
