SYDNEY, May 3, 2005/ FW/ --- Better known as Ray, this Perth based talent takes his audience on a trip to a land where ethnic chic is imperative and romance essential.

His hand-made looks seem almost couture like as he uses exquisite jet for beading, makes vertical patchwork of various fabrics something special and elegance abundant.

Timeless and dreamy, soft lace and sheer boleros cover delicate shoulders while large silver sequins like old coins dance as detail, leaving bustles and bustiers with that old world feeling to pull waists tight and accentuate the upper torso for a defined and structure silhouette.

Halter neck dresses with 1950’s charm and floral embroidery, along with little puff shoulders sleeves and balloon type skirt hemlines also make and appearance in this spring summer collection that plays with volume.
