LouieExclusive Interview with Mary Paul - Queens of the Amazon Underworld (LINK)
September 17th 2007 17:39
QOTAU (Queens of the Amazon Underworld)
The one thing constant about fashion is change, and up and coming Bondi based Designer Mary Paul is leading with way with the hottest jackets and knickerbockers this season. I caught up with Mary Paul to interview her about her latest collection.
Stepping into Mary’s luxurious home, one can see from her very surrounds that she combines cultural influences with the surreal. Mary has spent her life exploring the increasing elasticity between Art, Fashion, Film, Photography and Design. QOTAU’s latest collection encapsulates punk/geisha/spiritual warrior on the outside and a rock and roll fantasy pin-up on the inside.
Mary’s bio reads like a scene out of a Quentin Tarentino flick: chauffeur driver of classic American cars, owner of funky cafe by day/cocktail bar by night and punk band singer, actress, artist and enormously talented graphic designer now turns fashion designer. Having lived and traveled all over the world as a graphic designer, Mary has the benefit of sourcing her ideas from a vibrant image bank, stored from years of witnessing the most unexpected. Is it no wonder her garments scream “opulence”!
Renowned for eclectic and provocative imagery, QOTAU gives soft leathers, lethal, sexy silhouettes this season to masterfully structured jackets and knickerbockers. Moody charcoals, deep magentas, winter whites, emerald and caramel leathers born from the underground are designed for the global brave and self-expressive.
“I love the female form – the proportion and the essence. I am passionate and devoted to supporting the natural metamorphosis and abundance of all design, people, places and things through QOTAU and the anarchy of a curious child,” says Mary.
QOTAU is seen only on the Parisian set’s coolest crew. Available in Dubai, Australia and some European destinations.
So there you have it! Artist turns fashion designer. Keep your eyes on Mary Paul. She is hot and she is talented, not only that - she is Australian and she is going places.
