The Goddess of Colour -Kaye Gilhooly

Unique Australian Made Fashion

The Goddess of Colour mission is to provide colourful, fun and stylish, Australian Made Fashion and accessories that are sustainable with the “Wow” factor.

Each handmade product puts life back into materials, recycling what would otherwise be discarded. Piecing together eclectic mixes of preloved and new fabrics I create something beautiful with a whole new purpose.

Add in hand painting, unusual handmade buttons and trims and you have a truly unique Australian Made Fashion garment that will turn heads and have tongues wagging! Plus, everything is made ethically in Tasmania, Australia.

Being an artist, self-confessed goddess and worshipper at the shrine of colour you will also find other colourful stuff here that may interest you, so take a good look around. Whether, piecing together fabric, tiles or life you will always find me working with colour.

To keep up with what’s new, special deals and “Happenings from the Workroom” don’t forget to sign up to my BUGGER BIEGE, Don’t Conform to the Norm, Journal.

Colour. Don’t just wear it. Live it!

By Kaye | March 6, 2019

A “How to “10 step guide. If I had a dollar for every time a person said to me, “I love colour” and then proceeded to choose beige, grey or brown for their clothes, paint or home decor, I would be a millionaire many, many times over! Beige is a lifestyle, not just a colour. […]

The universal urge to create. Is it imprinted in our human genes?

By Kaye | January 15, 2019

Sometimes, I just think I am weird.  Don’t get me wrong. I am actually quite proud of this statement. The truth is, I have never wanted to be normal or to be like everyone else. Luckily for me I didn’t have a conventional upbringing so this has never really been the case. The need (it […]
