fashion designer sheree commerford
Fashion designer Sheree Commerford felt such a connection to the town where she grew up in northern NSW that her label is partly named after the place: Woodford & Co. While country style elements are part of her design aesthetic, she's also got a rock 'n' roll edge. And so for the launch of her first pop-up store in Sydney's Paddington she is exhibiting the work of photographer Guy Webster, who has shot the likes of Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and The Doors.
