We were lucky enough to speak with Rosemary Masic of Nevenka to get an insight into the label’s upcoming MSFW show as well as her personal opinions on style and fashion.

Ticketmaster: Thank you so much for joining us. How are the preparations for MSFW coming along?

Rosemary Masic: It’s a crazy energetic time – there is so much to do! We have a lot going on at the moment especially in our studio as directly after MSFW we are going to Paris and London for fashion week – so we have lots of deadlines to achieve!

Ticketmaster: How did you get into fashion?

Rosemary Masic: I was born with a detailed eye and it’s something that organically happened to me. Looking back now I can see it has always been my path. My mother has been a huge inspiration on my career. My eastern European heritage and Australian upbringing definitely influenced my passion for design.

Ticketmaster: What makes Melbourne Spring Fashion Week so special?

Rosemary Masic:  It’s in our hometown where we are loved and supported by our Melbourne community. We have a strong friendship with Kevin Murphy and we are proud to represent Melbourne on the international fashion scene.

Ticketmaster: Which designers should we be looking out for – whose collections are you excited to see?

Rosemary Masic: Well we are extremely excited to present our very own collection on the runway – it’s always a buzz for our clients as well as for our team to see the models wearing our creations. Runways are by far the most creative way to show a collection, and we know that we are in very good company and thrilled to see what the other awesome Australian brands and fresh talents are showing this spring. We can’t wait for it all!

Ticketmaster: What do you think will be the trends on the runway this season?

Rosemary Masic:  We are not into trends and don’t follow them. We believe fashion is an expression of who you really are. So if you fall in love with what you see than that is a strong indication of what you should be wearing.

Ticketmaster: What is the best thing about your job?

Rosemary Masic: I could not pin point just one particular thing that’s good about my job. I love that I can run a company, create, work with amazing people who love the brand as much as I do, meeting beautiful women who love wearing nevenka. So I guess I would have to say I love it all.

Ticketmaster: How would you describe your personal style?

Rosemary Masic: Eclectic, comfortable, easy with attention to detail.

Ticketmaster: Can you tell me about one of your biggest fashion mistakes?

Rosemary Masic: Walking away from a beautiful piece I fell in love with and did not buy. Still regret is 10 years later!

Ticketmaster: Thank you for talking to us. Best of luck at MSFW.
