Sparkle & Shine!






Sequins, sparkles and shiny fabrics have been on the fashion hit list for some time now...... however this season, this 'previously evening-only' trend has become a fan of daytime! Full sequin dresses, sparkly details on tee's, shiny pants and embellishments are becoming the norm for fashionistas. Silk Gallery have a fantastic range of sequined fabrics, braids and prints with sequin detailing at affordable prices. Check out the gorgeous collections in store now.

Spring Racing Fabrics





It's that time again - Spring Racing Carnival and this year the fabric choice is right on trend. For Derby Day there's a huge selection of gorgeous printed and plain black and white fabrics to create the dress or outfit worthy of winning Fashions on the Field. Be creative with your head wear and add some of the gorgeous beaded trims to a basic black hat or create a bow with some fabulous tulle.

Cup Day is all about colour; so find your perfect hue with some blushing pink, racy red or a mix of both!. Mix and match block colours for a striking combination or pick a printed floral and keep the accessories simple with a plain matching colour.

Oaks Day is all about being super chic and fashionable. Play with unique colour combinations and luxurious textures like the royal purple and gold image above.

So make sure you take yourself and your creative ideas to Silk Gallery this week to find your favourite fabrics so you're ready to hit the race tracks in style!

Boutique Window Displays






Silk Gallery had the talented Cathy Chadwick dress the windows of their Kew Boutique recently. Cathy used a variety of silks, laces, sequined trim and braids to complete her stunning mannequin installations. Cathy has worked in the business for almost 20 years and for the last 6 years has had her own business specialising in window dressing, exhibition design, prop design/construction and interior decoration. We love her colour combinations and can imagine these creations being made up into stunning dresses.
