Kym Ellery grew up in Karratha, WA. She used to play in the rich red earth with her toy trucks. Part Māori and English she was inspired by her artistic mother to move to Sydney. With nothing but ambition and courage, she conceived ELLERY the fashion label that has taken her to the Runway of Paris. Now living in Paris, her work is sought after by artists such as Rihanna and Cate Blanchett. The fabric in the background is a reference to her love of fabric and texture. I wanted to capture both sides to Kym, both Tomboy, full of fun, glamorous and elegant. An inspiration to all.
