Meet the team: Candice.
Tell us a little bit about yourself?
I’m a super creative person who loves a good chat, Im curious & love to learn new things. I’m driven by passion, my minds always wondering about what’s next & I’m always dreaming big (seriously could I be anymore Gemini).
I’ve spent the past 12 years in the hairdressing industry, exploring various directions but found my groove and had a little salon locally. Last year I retired to pursue my most purposeful job yet, becoming a mum. My nearly 10 month old son Ardie is such a blessing, I love spending my days with him, watching him learn & grow. My favourite things to do are coffee & walk with my husband, baby & dog, spending time in my garden growing flowers & cooking up a storm in the kitchen. A good catchup with my girlfriends over a cheeseboard and some Logan bubbles is essential in my life too.
Have you always been in fashion?
This is my first experience in the fashion/retail industry. I thought I’d take the opportunity to try a new career direction. I was drawn to this particular industry for the social aspect, it’s fast pace & was seeking creative fulfilment again & have always appreciate & understood quality fashion.
What’s your favourite brand at Bespoke?
I’m currently obsessing over our newest fashion label Friend of Audrey, but also have been a long time lover of everything Elka Collective.
What do you love most about working with us?
I love the core values that bespoke has been build on, supporting Australian fashion labels who produce high quality clothing, made sustainably and ethically. I appreciate working in a team where our opinion is asked & valued, & we can openly share creative ideas.
I love doing the showings for the upcoming seasons. It’s so much fun seeing what the different brands are releasing and choosing what will fit the bespoke customer best. I also enjoy when we have new stock arrives, I can curate some seasonal outfits & play around with our displays, release some creative energy !
Top picks and must haves for this season?
I think an essential in everyones winter wardrobe this season is a pair of high waisted wide leg pants and a blazer (the Roberta set by Mink Pink), so versatile and classy. Paired with the croissant huggies (by Porter) & a statement Girl with a Pearl necklace (currently crushing over Gwen)! Finished off with a classic timeless handbag, ofcourse my favourite new arrival from Brie Leon, the Paloma Tote.
