From a farm to London Fashion Week with Sass and Bide, to starting her own fashion label and house-mothering at a country boarding school, Jacqui Hayes, leads a fascinating life!
She runs her business, Barney & Jacq from her flat in Orange in regional New South Wales, constantly working with makers, cutters and production people in Sydney and elsewhere. She has some pretty cool stories about working for some of the biggest names in Fashion and what I love about Jacqui’s story is that she’s also a housemother to 47 teenage girls at Kinross Wolaroi School. By day she’s a high end fashion designer and by afternoon and evening she’s a mother hen – how cool is that?!
I hope you love her as much I do! And in these uncertain times, her business is a great one to support if you want to buy some fancy new clothes that are timeless.
