24.01.2022 Today’s dreamy vibes... sending all the love to my melbourne beauties. Love you all so much. Was going to say stay strong but that is bullshit. Get through any way you can. Immense self love. No response in looking after yourself is wrong. We’ve got this. Lots of love to everyone else too but right now we need it the most here. Xxxxxx Amazing art by @ninesidedshape
23.01.2022 I’m extremely honoured to be in the incredible @photospunctuatemylife’s latest project ‘Artist’s in Residence’. A collaborative project with 50+ Victorian artists during Stage 4 lockdown. This is Suzanne’s virtual portrait. I then needed to respond in some way with it within a week. The final artworks will be released in a self publication with 50% profits going to @nava_visualarts and launched on the 29th October as part of @the.kindnesspandemic Festival. Follow Suzanne to stay up to date with this awesome project. #art #artistsoninstagram #artist #photography #portrait #portraitphotography #corona #lockdown #stage4 #designer #fashiondesigner

21.01.2022 Life might be a rollercoaster right now but at the end of the day everything is alright if you are one of the lucky ones to play in my furs. The leopard Lana Turner is definitely one of my favourites. Perfect for every imaginable occasion. A Gun Shy Staple. Have you got yours?
20.01.2022 Love these pics of the iconic Loco Monster jacket in the @modellicmagazine editorial. @iconartphotography Model @jomailletmodel HMUA @madhurimakeupandhair
19.01.2022 I was involved in this extraordinary project by the fantastic photographer Photospunctuatemylife. During our intense, restrictive Melbourne lockdown she took a portrait of us through the computer. Then she sent us a couple of images from that photoshoot. We then had a week to transform it anyway we liked. We also had to write a little blurb about our lockdown experience. This is an extraordinary memento of Melbourne artists during this intense period. The different images that people created and stories is fantastic. I highly recommend having a look at the images and buying the book. You will be supporting Suzanne, who gives so much back to the community always. Thank you Suzanne. You are such a treasured gem in our community.

It will be sometime next week just to give you the heads up. Exciting!!! #reasonstobecheerful #gunshydesign #faux #fakefur #independentdesign #melbournefashion #handmade

13.01.2022 Hi all you beauties, I know this is a little unconventional but so am I! Could you please spare a minute to vote for gorgeous Milo. This beauty is trying to get into the 2021 Cat Protection Society Calendar. He is my mum's cat and we all love him so so much and we all would be proud as punch if he got in. If he does, he gets to have a professional photoshoot in a studio!!! How cool is that!!! Voting closes next week, so we are trying to do a final push for votes. Let's do this for Milo!!!!

11.01.2022 Update: We want to say a huge thank you to our community for the overwhelming and generous response we’ve had to our psychiatry WardRobe project - for more info... on how you can donate visit: https://bit.ly/340FcRa Many of the patients who come into the psychiatry inpatient unit are admitted with only the clothes they arrive in, and some have no access to other clothing. So our Mental and Addiction Health team are launching a new project called the ‘WardRobe’ a robe stocked with good quality pre-loved clothing, as well as new underwear and footwear - available to our patients when they need them. To help make sure the wardrobe stays full, the unit are calling for donations from our staff and community. The walk-in wardrobe is launching on Friday 6 November and is based on the First Floor Ward in our inpatient unit. The unit are accepting donations now via a clothing bin located in the psychiatry unit's front reception area. Read more: https://bit.ly/2SPMy3t

10.01.2022 Dream baby @rubyslippers !!! Features delicious Hollywood jacket & @nowservingsnacks lace number. All currently available to purchase. Best treats to yourself ever
10.01.2022 Yesterday I did the most beautiful workshop in connection with @campfirestoriesau. It completely exceeded my expectations. We made a super cool fluffy heart brooch but it was the incredible beautiful, heart warming, honest & sometimes vulnerable conversation that we had while sewing that really burst my heart. Connection is so important and sewing together is such a great tool for this. It was a magnificent success and I will definitely be doing more in the future. Thank you everyone involved. #gunshydesign #campfirestories #lgbtqi #workshop #covid #corona #stitchandbitch

06.01.2022 I realised this week that a whole lot of my customers because they are recent Gun Shy fans, missed out on the incredible Monster Madness Collection. I had to stop this Collection for x2 reasons. Firstly, at the time I just couldn’t make another one... I was sick of them lol. Secondly, good quality yeti fur became unavailable. It still is unfortunately. However, I’m no longer sick of this Collection and I would love for my new gorgeous customers to have a chance to own one. So... if, and only if, I can source some extremely good quality yeti fur, I may just open this fun and awesome collection up again. I can’t make any promises just yet though.... Just something to dream about. Let me know in the comments if you are interested. If enough people are I will wholeheartedly seek out the fur!!! photographer - rupert laycock @rupertlaycockphotography Model (fringe) - Daniela from Vicious @daniela0g Model (pink hair) - Sammy Newton from Giant @sammynewtz make up - Jordanna @jordannahm hair - phoenix ly @phoenixly.hairstylist styling - Tory price @iamthetreasurehunter #gunshydesign #tantalummagazine #style #lafashion #newyorkfashion #londonfashion #parisfashion #tokyofashion #fauxfur #fauxfurcoat #fauxfurjacket #vamff #melbournefashion #melbournedesign #australianfashion #australiandesign #handmade
05.01.2022 The Extraordinary Style Sale is SOLD OUT! I think that’s my fastest sell out ever. An hour. I opened the sale, had a nap and wham, it was over lol. Thank you so so much beautiful people. I love our Gun Shy Glamour Community SO MUCH!!!
05.01.2022 Cracks me up... 2020 COVID Safe entrance to my studio involves a sage stick! Sign of the times haha #covid #getridofthatbad2020vibes #gunshydesign
04.01.2022 This year when COVID hit, I turned my garage into a studio so I could work from home. I really wish I had taken a before and after shot. The transformation really is quite extreme. Anyway I love it so, so much. I don’t think I’ll be moving out for a while... Home studios are the best! Running my biz completely remotely with zooms etc has been an unbelievable revelation. A lot of good things will come out of the way we have had to adapt and innovate. I’m excited for a very different way of working and doing things. There’s definitely no going back to normal. That is dead. A new innovative future awaits. Sending big big big love to everyone, especially though my other Melbournites whom are still in very restrictive lockdown. I love you all!!!
04.01.2022 Stunning @embellish_or_perish in her Dreamland Seuss Scarf. Her beautiful smile definitely brings a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart. X3 Limited Edition Dreamland Seuss Scarves left on the planet. All 170cm for $150. Free Shipping. Jump on the website to order these last remaining super fun scarves. www.gunshy.com.au Also check out these super cool sunglasses by @maude_studio Great combination.

04.01.2022 I @kindredsurprize !! Kindred’s lip sync this night was off the charts!!! I’m so blessed with Gun Shy to truly have a beautiful community around my little fashion label. Can’t wait to eventually play with all you beauties soon... one day... 1.5m away and with a mask on lol. Pic from my car park show at the incredible old Preston Zly Studio in Fitzroy when I released the Cirque De Merde Collection. Love putting on unique little fashion shows/events for my pieces. So fun!!! Stay safe everyone.
03.01.2022 I’m at CAPACITY!!! I hate stockpiling fur. It goes against my whole vibe. So to make way for future yumminess I think Big Bad Wolf has TO GO!!! It has too many furs!!! So, if you ever wanted one of those pieces, get in there. By 2021 that Wild as Fuck, 70’s, surreal, fantastical Collection will just be a dream! ps. I have great lay-by!!!
02.01.2022 So into Lady Frieda Harris’s look and her extraordinary artwork with the Thoth Tarot Deck. Genius artist. Power shoulders get me everytime!
01.01.2022 Mood Not really directed at anyone. Just an ongoing vibe with the nuts state of affairs in Melbourne. Sending all the love in the whole universe to all my fellow Melbournites doing it tough in Stage 4 lockdown.... Will this ever end?! Stay positive stay positive stay positive.......... (desperately trying to stay zen & positive but I tells ya, it’s getting harder by the second...)
01.01.2022 Gun Shy supports artist @casey_jenkins in her battle with @auscouncilarts. Casey is an extraordinary feminist artist whom pushes boundaries and creates immense dialogue on a number of issues in every piece of work she produces. She has been one of my all time favourite artists for a long time now. I am absolutely appalled that the Australia Council has pulled funding from her piece IMMACULATE after none other than the Rupert Murdoch Muppet Peta Credlin attacked her work on S...ky News. For crying out loud!!!! This has deep repercussions for the future of the arts industry in Australia. For one, an Australian Arts Body shouldn’t be crumbling to an extremely right wing news media source. This in itself is disgusting. They should be supporting her!!! Secondly, it sets a scene of only art being funded that doesn’t push boundaries or create dialogue. Isn’t that a big part of what art is meant to do. What art is SHOULD NOT be defined by the deplorable and disgusting MURDOCH PRESS!!! Surely, with the petition into this disgusting media source just being launched in the last few days by Kevin Rudd, highlights how unpopular and biased this media monopoly is. In a right wing world, art has no significance, as Peta Credlin clearly states in her gross diatribe against Casey. Casey’s work is an important piece and Gun Shy stands by Casey. I’ve attached her statement in response to the Australia Council http://casey-jenkins.com/works/immaculate/ See more
