“Giving it a meaning, there’s more to things than just words, words need to be accompanied by images and actions” – Accompany By Imagery designer, Jennifer Nguyen
After planning for over a year, Jennifer Nguyen made her dreams a reality with the launch of her debut designer brand, Accompany By Imagery.
Since the first initial sketches were etched, the Melbourne-based designer has been hard at work, and still is, to create the brand – and she hasn’t given up her day job either.
“I work full time as a Payroll Officer from Monday to Friday as well as owning/creating and building Accompany By Imagery,” she says.
“Why did I start? It’s my dream and it’s my passion. I have always wanted to create pieces that I can call my own.”
This is the reigning philosophy and meaning behind the creation of Accompany By Imagery – to live your dream – and to produce contemporary, unique, trans-seasonal, clean cut, simple and unisex pieces.
The latest collection is inspired by high-end contemporary London street style, 100% designed, sourced and produced in Melbourne.
“I think that’s what sets Accompany By Imagery apart, the fact that the fabric is sourced from local businesses and that our production is local, made in Melbourne,” she says.
“The style that I produce is unique and the quality of each garment made is paramount, it would be hard to find another label that can say the same.
“I focus on sourcing fabrics from local businesses in Australian and New Zealand from the production to the swing tags. I take pride in the fact that it’s all put together here in Australia.”
Accompany By Imagery will exhibit for the first time at Fashion Exposed this month from August 28-30 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. To register visit, www.fashionexposed.com
