Interview with Online Entrepreneur

Interview with Kath Purkis from Luxury Online Store Le Black Book

Who are your favourite Australian designers?

All the designers I stock at Le Black Book, particularly Mrs Press and Kirrily Johnston.

Why did you launch Le Black Book?

I was passionate about fashion and saw a gap in the Australian online retail market for a luxury service. Previously I was working for an amazing Australian designer however wanted to take my career to the next level.

What are the key looks this season?

Colour - Be bold and embrace colour this summer. Summer is about having fun and embracing life, making the most of each day and every opportunity. Colour in your wardrobe will give you confidence to be the best you can be. The classic LBD is also a must have for summer nights - I have about 100 LBDs I have collected over the years.

Who is your inspiration?

There are too many beautiful people in my life to name. I am inspired by anyone that is following what they are passionate about.

Ex Vogue Fashion Features Editor - Mrs Press

Clare Press is the former features director of Vogue Australia. She loves a good vintage (that would be wine and women of substance, as well as clothes). She loves 1930s silk chemises, French knickers, fragile kimonos, champagne breakfasts and ancient lace. She loves books and words, and 50s fashion illustrations, and marzipan. She loves scents and sensibility, and dressing tables covered in little glass bottles. And a good chic sleep. Oh, and she loves Mr. Press, of course..

Mrs. Press is a thoroughly modern girl to be sure, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t like things to be done properly. That means silk knickers at all times, and the perfect satinslip to make a dress look the bee’s knees. Truth be told, she often wears them with nothingmuch else. Our girl loves to loll about at home dressed to thrill. She loves parties too, of course. Who doesn’t? Sometimes it feels as if life is one big party. Thank heavens for the divine new Mrs. Press candles – we all need to relax sometimes, no?

Mrs Press is available exclusively at Le Black Book http://www.leblackbook.com.au/
