Divine Timing

On Friday I was cutting Brooks hair and chatting away when he started pulling me up about the blog, or lack there of!

So I listened, I believe it was Divine timing and things happen at the right time, the right place, for the right reasons, so now it seems the time for me to take on this blog and discuss all things Killer (with a philosophical edge)

Sunday saw us complete our first collection and it's been a year in the waiting.

We have wanted to do it since we opened, it's not that we couldn't but as I will point out, anything really cool tends to happen when the right people are in place.

One year ago, it was Me, Tom and Mimi with the responsibilities of our 8 month daughter.

Now we have Me, Tom, Bonnie, Jonathan, Ella and Mimi - 10 weeks away from giving us our second daughter but still on board - she's also our creative director.

Both Mimi and I dream about our brand all the time, just as you guys dream about your goal and visions etc. We constantly want to invigorate ourselves creatively, which enables us to give our clients the best.

We want to be present in everything we do, from listening at the consultation, to perceiving what style or colour our client is after and not to mention discussing life, the universe and who's wearing what.

Back to Divine Timing... in my view the universe gives opportunities, it's up to us to have the courage to grasp them.

Tina - a legendary client of mine put us onto Jessica Sim, our photographer and all I can say is 'World Class'. Exceptional talent and easy to work with.

We also found great models who were all Proper Gorge!

Our makeup artist Nicola Harvey, was my old ferry buddy from back in our Devonport days, I'd always kept her in the back of mind as someone we would love to work with. She did a damn fine job!

Now we have worked on photo shoots before but it was a Killer team thing here, we all worked great together, hard day but a really satisfying creative experience.

To get ahead you need to work hard everyday and stress seems to follow close behind but the last thing you want is to let it take over. Perspective, gratitude for the cool things, being present and enjoying your work brings a us all a much needed balance.

Ciao, Steven
