Many were the same designs she showed in the Big Apple in 2015. Wendi Leigh Designs was invited to the United States to showcase a new collection at a New York Fashion Show that incorporated her own art prints into the fashion.
Demand and interest has been so great she has continued to develop the range called Wendi Leigh’s Birds of a Feather range.
She showcased eight designs including a dress and two jackets that were shown in New York last August.
Now she has been seen in Wollongong she can do the same at any RAW event in the world.
The outfits feature designs that depict baby bird feathers, magpie wings and tails and abstracted kookaburra birds and tail feathers in Australian colours such as aqua, coral and earthy burnt oranges, tans and eucalyptus greys.
And when models Catherine Andrews, Suzanne Haddon, Natalie Cross and Katrina Rautenberg took to the runway on Friday they were accompanied by the sounds of kookaburras and magpies.
