Romance Was Born

Why we love? 

You know how they tell you not to judge a book by its cover? Well in some minor cases I beg to differ with this life lesson, especially when considering this pink piece of glory. I was enthralled by this book before I even opened it so as you can probably imagine, it only gets better.

You may have noticed we’re obsessed with all things colour, textiles & beautiful things? The founders behind this hella attractive book & brand, have all of these things in common. Not only does this book tell a story of people that inspire us, it will also reignite the spark within your wardrobe. 

Blurb 

The fully illustrated story of one of the most successful Australian fashion houses of the last 15 years.

Romance Was Born collections are lavish, larger than life, iconic and iconoclastic, and this gorgeous book is a celebration of this unique Australian vision, created by two young designers who declined an internship with Galliano at Dior to 'do their own thing'.

The designs of Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales have included collaborations with Jenny Kee, Linda Jackson, Marvel and Lego, and their creations have been worn by Cate Blanchett, Beyonce, Cyndi Lauper and Daphne Guinness, and are included in collections at the NGV and The Powerhouse.
