FOM were fortunate to shoot and talk candidly to the eldest of the two daughters, Ella. Enter the stunning and intelligent Ella Golding, age 19, with the brazen calmness like Liz yet her own distinct character and opinion firmly forming as a model booker at Brisbane VIVIENS modelling agency.   Both women understand fashion in a way that comes naturally to few, expressing their sometimes differing ideologies with examples of current trends versus classic tailoring.   Both women predominantly buy from local and Australian fashion designers (of which they are either friends of or have worked alongside) as well as some of the more luxury end designers.   Mixing high end fashion with local and High Street fashion seems to be a recurring theme in their household.   Some of the shoes Liz wore in the shoot were hand painted by herself and a team of assistants for a particular fashion parade.   Easton Pearson and Akira were some of Liz’s mentioned favourite Australian designers wearing some of their pieces throughout the shoot.  Happy to say that shooting a well recognised stylist and her daughter was similar to watching an artist create their art.   Invention is the mother of creation and this was obvious many times over in examples of altering clothing and accessories used on previous shoots, varied and every changing themes in past house renovations and soft furnishings as well as multiple forms of artworks scattered around the home. So as this new beginning unfolds for Liz and her business, Ella and her career who knows when and how these dynamic females will reach us.   But for now, it’s all systems go as per usual until the next venture.
