This is me...

This is me - a self-confessed, somewhat crazy (yes, my mother even had me tested), business woman, wife, mother, designer, dreamer, story teller... the creative brain behind New Zealand's much loved fashion brand - ANYONE'S DAUGHTER.
I’m a girl who loves rock music, roller skating, driving with the window down, red lipstick and black lace, comfortable denim cut offs with animal print slides or black leather high tops - a little bit NZ beach meets grunge, fitting my Bay of Plenty roots, not always the glam image of fashion industry success. I'm known for saying what I think, I swear a lot, I listen to rock music, love supercharged cars and I wear a lot of black. Some people have names for these things – I’ve been called a witch, bitch, bogan... I can find any excuse to celebrate with a glass of wine.I am a woman who has spent her entire life obsessively trying to become comfortable in her own skin.I am a woman who desperately tries to dispel the completely unattainable ideas that society has brainwashed us into believing:
That women must be flawless, simultaneously feminine and strong – but not too strong. Successful - but not the point where she threatens a man. Beautiful - but not to the point where our beauty intimidates other women. Confident – as long as we don’t say it out loud. And skinny. Don’t forget skinny!
If you’re ready to style your wardrobe and your mind then you’re in the right place. Welcome to Anyone’s Daughter. I’ve been waiting for you…
