Liz Davenport

named Australia’s top fashion designer receiving the Grand Award from the Fashion Industry of Australia. This was followed the same year
with “Advance Australia” award for the contribution to Australian lifestyle through fashion. Today Liz Davenport remains one of Australia’s most successful fashion designers and business women. In her 40 year career, Liz has dressed Hollywood stars, royalty, judges, musicians, television presenters and politicians alike. She has been invited to design collections for such historic events as Miss Universe pageants, the America’s Cup and the opening of the Stockman’s Hall of Fame in 1988. She has also accepted an exclusive invitation to create exquisite gowns for the Queen of Thailand, HRH Queen Sirikit for the nation’s Silk Festival Parade – a landmark event on the nation’s fashion calendar. In her unrelenting quest to design intelligent clothes for intelligent women, Liz Davenport has become famous for two original fashion concepts that have revolutionised the way women dress for work and pleasure. Her “Miracle in a Suitcase” is comprised 22 pieces that can be worn an astonishing 300 different ways. The other popular design dynamic is Liz’s fail-proof “four piece principle”. The concept is based on four garments - a sleeveless top, skirt, jacket and pants – all in one colour, preferably dark. Their monochromatic magic instantly gives the illusion of height and slimness.
