Camilla Freeman, sister of Marc, said last week's show, their seventh, had lastly enabled the still-burgeoning label to 'come into its own.'
Best bit of counsel she eternally received from a designer was to 'be realistic' and not to 'think you're saving lives,' she added.
"Fashion is fairly unglamorous and at the end of the day, you're manufacturing clothing," she said.
Further, Jewish designers who displayed their spring/summer 2006/07 varieties included University of Technology Sydney graduate Becky Cooper, whose label bec&bridge offered a colourful compilation motivated by the Italian Riviera glamour of the 1950s.
Natalie Cohen, of Cohen et Sabine, best sums up the fashion week experience for the designer saying in a tired voice after her second triumphant fashion-week outing, "It's just a lot of work."
"It's really thrilling because to see it all there on the catwalk, being worn by models is a real treat. It makes it all feel really worth it," explained Cohen.
