About the host:
Tara Whalley established her self-titled fashion brand after returning to Australia after a year of working with war-affected Mayan weavers. It was this time in Guatemala that formed Tara's painting practice- translating experience into artwork for fabric print and a clear direction for the basis of her fashion signature style.
