Stepping out

Abigail's designs on racewear

23Apr08

SUMMER Hill fashion designer Abigail Moir was in the spotlight last weekend as part of the National Designer Awards at the Golden Slipper racewear carnival.

Moir was one of 20 selected to showcase her design at Myer Ladies' Day on April 5.

She then moved on to the next stage and was selected as one of the top 10 to showcase her design at the Golden Slipper event last Saturday at Rosehill Racecourse.

Although Moir didn't win, she said it was a rewarding experience.

She said her design was "feminine and pretty, with a quirky but contemporary edge". The outfit was completed with accessories borrowed from Alannah Hill, one of Moir's inspirations.

Moir is working on her label, Miss Abigail, and is looking to expand her business.

Her designs are sold online at www.leeloo.com.au and at www.clothingstoreonline.com.au or by email at miss abigail@ optusnet.com.au
