I’m partial to an Art / Fashion collaboration at the best of times but the latest merging of minds between Melbourne label Gorman and Brooklyn-based artist Kate Kosek is a special one. So much so that I ventured across to Victoria last week to attend the launch event – check Lisa Gorman and Kate Kosek in a Linlee Allen sandwich below: fun times indeed!

Last week when Fashion Net – the world’s first-ever fashion website – approached me about adding my profile to their Fashion Influencer line-up it was a sweet blast from the past in more ways than one. Particularly because in actual fact I started my career with them back in 1997 when I sent them an email and they responded inviting me to come to Paris and work with them as a Daily News Editor. To think that seventeen years later they’re now profiling me as one to watch is a great career milestone in my mind. Who knew things would ever become this big? Evidently Stig and the Fashion Net team did. To discover more, go forth: http://www.fashion.net/influencers/linlee-allen/
