Leonard St and Woman with Drive

Style – 5 May 2014

The idea of a women’s only fashion collaboration is certainly an exciting prospect. With the likes of the always fashionable Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, and Coco Chanel leading the way, Woman with Drive has set to make its own mark in the fashion industry.

woman with drive and boutique designer Leonard St came together to create the perfect accessory for any woman with drive – a beautiful, elegant, and classic silk driving scarf. Why a scarf? Think Grace Kelly with her exclusive shades and hair flowing in the wind.

The scarf is hand-designed by Leonard St owner and designer, Amanda McCarthy, and showcases her signature style and flair. Of course, it couldn’t be a driving scarf without a Porsche, so each scarf also features the classic Porsche 356.

Behind each amazing product is an even better team. Naturally, this team is made up of leading women with drive.

Kara Layton is co-founder and Artistic Director at Anaka salon. She has worked in the industry for over 10 years and has become a well-respected stylist. Last year, Kara and her business partner Anna Ntalianis were flown to New York to style the New York Fashion Week show for womenswear label, TOME. They worked with renowned Vogue international hairstylist, Peter Grey, who has made the likes of Miranda Kerr, Heidi Klum and Kate Bosworth look fabulous.

Being a Hair and Makeup Artist and working in the industry for many years, Dora Ntalianis has studied and worked for Napoleon Perdis, gaining a lot of experience in fashion. She is now the resident Make-Up stylist at Anaka and works alongside Kara in fashion and bridal shoots. It was intriguing to have this talented woman on board and watch her work her magic on Finnish model, Sonja Cowley, from London Management- not that Sonia needed much magic.

The last talented woman in the crew is Michelle Tran, a freelance photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. Her portfolio includes working with: Nike, Lovisa, Mossman, Rodd & Gunn, and now womanwithdrive.com.au. Her work has been published in Ones2Watch, Acclaim Magazine, Fashion Journal and Lurve.

Womanwithdrive.com.au was thrilled to help drive an amazing collaboration between some very talented and well-recognised women in the industry. There’s no stopping these women with drive.

Stay stylish.
