Orange Owl Textiles is a Melbourne based clothing, screen print and textile label, with a passion for surface art.
With the constant struggle to find clothes that were original, and made locally, owner Shelly Kent, decided to start OOT.
‘I’ve never followed any fashion trends and believe in pieces that are tran-seasonal, and are long lasting that wear well. The main focus for OOT is to be able to offer folk an alternative to fast fashion in the form of unique, ethically made, high quality garments. OOT clothing comes in a range of flattering cuts and styles. I also offer affordable screen print services for people needing merchandise for their band, small business or cult with small print runs as low as 20.’
Fiona Patten is the founder and leader of the Reason Party and a Member of the Victorian Legislative Council for the Northern Metropolitan region. She came to politics after 20 years of lobbying for the rights of organisations involved in the sexual rights movement – including small businesses, sex workers, HIV/AIDS organisations, adult media and online anti-censorship groups. Before that she was an established independent fashion designer with her own label called Body Politics.
