From the young age of 13, she has been building her sewing skills, constantly broadening her horizons and now exploring opportunities to exhibit her work. Her commitment to sustainability is evident in her creations, which promote the philosophy of lasting beauty through mindful creation.
This body of work is dedicated to transforming the standard iconic industrial Pilbara work uniform into luxurious gowns, uniquely creating wearable pieces of art crafted from recycled high-vis work clothing. Sharon believes in creating sustainable fashion that can be continually worn and passed down, reflecting her dedication to enduring and beautiful pieces.
"These high-vis garments are so often overlooked and discarded, yet they hold such unique potential. By transforming them into something luxurious, I aim to challenge perceptions and really highlight the importance of sustainability in fashion. Radius 6.0 provides the perfect platform to showcase my idea, my approach to it, and celebrate the beauty found in the unexpected. It’s promoting mindful creation."
