Meet Kavisha. I have been blessed every Wednesday at the Fremantle Fibonacci Centre, where our Store @ Fib is, by the rehearsal of the women choir she has been running. I met Kavisha a decade ago when she sang at the Fremantle Nectar Festival. Kavisha is one of those humans who touches your heart as soon as you meet her. Her generosity and her life experience come together with amazing stories of her travels and the people she has met.

Meet Alice Poli. Alice is a wonderful creative working every week at the Fremantle Markets. I love Alice’s joyous Italian nature but it is her art that really touched me. It is gentle, full of hope and dreams. Alice is also a talented photographer and her sensibility shines through all the photographs she takes.

Our friend Antonia Taylor with whom Gaëlle has shared a decade long friendship through their volunteer work for the WA Fairtrade Collective including the Fairly fashionable challenges that ran for 4 years in Perth to highlight the pressures garments workers are under, had also interviewed Gaëlle on her commitment to ethical fashion and the changes in fashion since the Rana Plaza disaster. 

Watch Gaelle's interview below.

I met Isabella when she started her small business making polymer clay earrings. Looking for platform to sell her creations, she chose our Collab store at the Fremantle markets. One of the reasons I started Collab was to create a retail platform for emerging local creatives but what brings me most joy is for all of us to explore possible collaborations so we can all challenge ourselves and create something bigger. So, as Isabella loves to play with colours and prints , it only seemed natural that I would ask her to design coordinating accessories for our Game Changer collection. Her energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the task have been so inspiring and I am so excited for all of you to get to know Isabella and our Collab collection.

Welcome to the ANJELMS family Isabella.
