OFF THE RACK: MORE ABOUT THE DESIGNER
What's it all about: Local Australian Label ‘Joanie Loves ChaChi’ is renowned for its intricate feminine detailing, quirky aesthetic, and timeless styling.
Merging a background infused with experience from within major fashion corporations, and a sensibility born of her success with nationally stocked label ‘Kato’, designer Jodi Griffiths decided to focus on creating a label to cater to the local Sydney markets.
Each range is hand embroidered and beaded in India and all the prints used by Joanie Loves ChaChi are exclusively designed by Jodi, and produced and manufactured either in Sydney, or India.
The collections are an exciting blend of intricate detailing, classic femininity featuring lots of ombre dyes mixed with printed floaty dresses and embroidered styles with floaty 70’s sleeves.

INSPIRATION: INDIA
The colours, the smells, the sounds, the textiles all inspire the designs of Joanie Loves ChaChi.
MUSE: TALITHA GETTY
The Look: Talitha Getty was an Indonesia-born Dutch actress and regarded as a style icon of the late 1960s. The second wife of John Paul Getty she married in 1966 wearing in a white mini-skirt, trimmed with mink. Her look seemed to stylishly typify the hippie fashion of the time and became a model over the years the bohemian chic look. No one could rock a multi-coloured kaftan, white harem pants and white and cream boots in Marrakesh the way Talitha did.
MUSE: NATASHA KAHN, BAT FOR LASHES
The Look: Like the darkly ethereal and eerie songs that echo from her new album, "Two Suns" Kahn's mystical style is a completely captivating blend of influences. She likes pretty things: fur, gold, melody, braids, feathers, the moon, feathers, chords that resolve - and no one looks this good in a Indian headpiece.
