White Label Noba
Tracey Watkins the founder, owner and designer of White Label Noba gave me a sneak peek at her new winter 2016 collection. The launch was held at the RNA show grounds complete with horses, hay bales and one friendly dog. It was not what I was expecting for my first fashion preview but it suited the equestrian theme.

I lusted over the racks of stunning clothes ranging in colour from tobacco and caramel to classic navy, white and black. The outfits worn by the models were beautiful contemporary pieces with a nod to country influences. All the pieces in the collection effortless combined with each other. The range could be worn by young to old, from petite to plus size.

There were sophisticated lifestyle pieces like soft silk blouses, cotton and woollen shirts, divine skirts and modern pants. I adored the oversized striped silk and cotton shirts. My favourite pieces were the caramel suede skirt, the super cosy looking black poncho with sleeves, and a classic black felt hat. Some of the pieces had animal prints, intricate beading and funky pom poms. These are quality pieces which have been designed and made with love.
White Label Noba's range includes a carefully curated range of accessories, shoes, jewellery, headpieces, boots and bags. I lusted after one of the evening bags with amazing beading. The shop also sells a small range of complementary homeware.

White Label Noba was launched in 2011 and the Brisbane based brand is now sold nationally. Tracey aims to create beautiful clothes and shoes for
all women, not just the perfect tens of the world.
"White Label Noba is a very special label. It's one that celebrates all women, of any age and size. I found it very difficult and incredibly frustrating myself to find clothes that were both stylish and flattering – given I sit in the curvy category. When my original vision to dress plus-size women in beautiful clothing resonated with women of ALL shapes and sizes, it became very clear to me that in fact, size really doesn't matter – how you feel when you wear a piece of beautiful clothing does. And that's the secret behind White Label Noba, " said Tracey.
I love the new winter range of clothes released by White Label Noba. I hope you can visit their shop in Hawthorne to buy a piece which you'll enjoy and wear for many years to come.
