WE'RE A MOTLEY CREW!

So I thought it was about time you met the "mixed bag" that is the Hardcastle Team. Without them I would not have made the progress I have today or have such a positive outlook of the future. Most of them support me voluntarily (well... home-made lasagne does make them putty in my hands) because they believe in the brand. Introducing....

Mr and Mrs Hardcastle (affectionately known as Oavia and Dogga):
Perth, Western Australia

Mum and Dad are my number one supporters. They keep me grounded when excitment boils over, keep me lifted when I wonder "what the hell am i doing?!?" and take my calls at 4am in the morning...

Katie Hardcastle
London, UK

Katie is my cousin and one of my best friends. She's always honest and is the consumer voice in my ear to reign in my designs...she is also my accessories whiz...we discuss what will enhance each collection and she gets designing...at least twice a month persistent banging comes from within my flat...thats Katie...being prodcutive...her first project was the beautiful scarves from "As the Llamera Girl Dances"


Alex Bloomfield
London, UK

Business whiz kid...clearly something I am not...Alex just won a place on the Australian / UK Business Board at just 27. My time with Alex is often comprised of him shaking his head...at my expensive fabric purchases...!! Alex is an integral member of the team if we are to succeed financially. He'll be the one cracking the whip...getting the books in order...and talking the talk around town...

Birute Mulerauskiene
London, UK

Birute is my exceptionally talented seamstress who has been sewing for over 15 years. After launching my first collection, the press commented on the impeccable finish of my garments. They were impressed my the professional finish and craftsmenship of this debut collection. Birute is worth her weight in gold and it's no wonder she has also been picked up by one very established UK Designer (hands off she is mine!!)
