"Romance was Born" highlights from the Rosemount Australian fashion week 2010

Some favorites from "Romance Was Born Spring Summer Collection shown as part of Rosemount Australian Fashion week in 2010. You just have to admire the eccentric, fantasy embeddded crafting of these outfits which are borderline kitsch yet masterfully creative. (photos from news.com.au)








"Romance Was Born is the product of Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales. The result is a crazy, fantasy fashion label for both men & women that combine eccentric pointless style with hand detailed features. Romance Was Born is not simply a clothing label, but rather a clothing experience. The technical pattern-making and over the top embellished designs create a playful yet professional fashion label that is Romance Was Born.

Anna and Luke seemed destined for success together, after meeting at East Sydney Fashion College, both studying fashion. The duo graduated and were selected to attend The Fourth International Support Awards in Italy. This is where the fun really began, as Anna and Luke turned down prestigious internship offerings from Galliano, to carve their own paths – Romance Was Born.


Romance Was Born is set apart from other fashion labels for the core reason that the label continues to combine elements of art, costume, theme and quality to create clothing collections that are best defined as wearable art that is now highly regarded and demanded.

Like any successful Australian fashion label, Romance Was Born has dressed the celebrities including individual pieces for music superstars Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Lilly Allen, MIA, and twin duo The Veronicas. Unsurprisingly, Romance Was Born has and will continue to be a hit at the annual Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. In 2009, Romance Was Born collaborated with Sportsgirl to release a one-off twelve piece wardrobe collection named Clownin Around".
