Howard Showers
With a well-established heritage of over 20 years, Howard Showers fuses classic pieces with current, on trend
designs, and manages to dress women from all ages and backgrounds in both comfort and style. Utilising well
know personalities such as the bright young actress Esther Anderson, media personality Charlotte Dawson,
and Vogue ‘IT’ girl Lydia Willemenia as its most recent faces, the brand ensures it remains relevant, fresh and
challenging to its customers.
The Howard Showers design philosophy is focused on original prints and premium quality fabrics that keep
evolving every season. Silks and delicate hand beading are used for all evening wear pieces which ensure that
not only special occasion pieces, but every day casual wear is always effortlessly elegant and on trend.Cut,
drape, subtle folds and tucks and the odd bunchy bow evoke the retro forties, however it is more about enabling
the modern woman to advance, arming her with a wardrobe that is her portfolio, her investment. There is a sense
of energy and presence, from the choice of fabrics to the colour palette, which is dynamic and commanding.

fashion design, she wanted to bring a fashion product able to combine modern Australia with ancient Peru
and that’s when KILLARI jewellery began.
