Ex-Sydney fashionista gives her vintage collection new life in country South Australia
Jill Mooney’s vintage collection was getting so big that she had little choice but to rehome it.
“I’ve always liked to dress up, and I still do,” she said.
The fashion fan from Melbourne grew up mostly in Sydney, working at iconic fashion houses in the ’70s like John and Merivale, Daily Planet and In Shoppe.
“I used to work for a place called Cash Palace which sold a lot of vintage clothes and there was a cape in there that was French-cut velvet that I bought,” Ms Mooney said.
“It was so expensive that I lay-buyed it for months.
“I used to wear it wrapped around as a dress and I still have it.”
It was pink and black and matched her stilettos in the same colours perfectly.
