Dannii Minogue inspired by her wardrobe

26th March 2011

(Cover) - EN Star Style - Dannii Minogue cant draw so her Project D clothing line is inspired by her wardrobe.

The 39-year-old is renowned for her elegant style and successfully launched fashion line Project D last year alongside Tabitha Somerset Webb.

The designer says neither she nor Dannii can sketch, so rely on being inspired by pieces they already have in their wardrobes.

Danniis as bad at drawing as I am, so instead we pull clothes out of our wardrobe and use it for inspiration, she told Look Magazine. She buys a lot of stuff from vintage shops in Melbourne and I find things over here, then we think about how we can make them better by adding something or changing the length.

Tabitha says that thankfully they have people who can draw out designs for them. She explained that the whole process is an eye-opening learning curve, and she is appreciative of the gorgeous fabrics and designs that the collection produces.

We have people who do sketches for us, and then we take those, along with tear sheets of ideas, to the factory and tell them what we want, she explained. They make us samples and send them to us and we make amendments. Its a learning curve for us both. For our latest collection weve used some gorgeous hand-painted fabrics. (C) Cover Media
