Author: A fashion icon was in the works the day the energetic Camilla Franks popped up with her first kaftan collection 5 years before.
This former actress donned theatrical costumes of her own making and had her mom’s love of kaftans as inspiration in her launching of a clothing line that would make its mark in the history of Aussie fashion. With fans such as Nicole Kidman, Bette Midler and Sharon Stone it didn’t take long for celebrities like Gwen Stefani, the Pussycat Dolls and Paula Abdul her flair for design and color.
The brand merges exotic ideas and worldly charisma to enduring fashion. Its designer defines it as a label that doesn’t show prejudice. This is shown in the designers continuing world tours to find inspiration. She does all sizes and shapes for all ages of life and personalities and simply likes ladies to look as well as feel amazing either in a micro-mini skirt or cocktail dress.
A great number of graphic and lively prints are featured in her collections which are made from scratch. Her ever-growing global-popularity is evidenced in her stockists. The brand’s stocks lie largely in luxury boutiques and high end department stores worldwide. These include Harvey Nichols in Riyadh, Dubai, Dublin and UK, Henri Bendel as well as David Jones in her hometown. She partnered with Elizabeth Arden, international beauty house that launched Camilla’s “Mosaic” Collection in 2007.
