Amber has had a very long journey in this industry. She began designing when she was a young teenager. As I have met Amber twice before, I found her very inspiring, in all the things she does. This is why I wanted to interview Amber. She does many things: stylist, T.V presenter, model, fashion designer and a directer of photo shoots. She does the whole lot. Here is how the interview unfolded.= = ** ﻿ ** = = **How did you get started in styling?** = = Well I began by making my own clothes so I always knew how to sew. I showed all my friends and they liked my designs so they bought clothes from me. I went to a shop in Brisbane and took four shirts and they asked for more and people bought all of them, then I went to other shops and sold more clothing items. After a period of time my clothes were in other countries and being sold out fast. = = Did your interest in fashion and designing begin in your childhood? = = ﻿Fashion did begin in my childhood, I just had a passion. = = Where did you study designing? = = ﻿Well I didn't study fashion or designing, I studied engineering and I was always good at maths so I got degree in engineering. = = What and where was your first job? = = I worked at spotlight which was a good experience because I learned all the different types of materials and fabrics which helped with my designing.
