Marnie Skillings

Based in Sydney, Marnie Skillings debuted her eponymous label in 2000 at Australian Fashion Week, in ready-to-wear group show with fellow graduates of Australia’s industry incubator, the fashion design school at East Sydney Technical College. That first show revealed Skillings’ singular abilities to combine a sophisticated feel for cut, colour, print and texture in her work with a very definite sense of fun – all underpinned with a strong narrative thread.
