Designer’s Bio
Launched in 2006, the fashion label Milk From A Thistle is the creation of Sydney based designer Danielle Atkinson. After beginning her working life in the music industry, Danielle returned to her original love of fashion, studying textile design at East Sydney TAFE. Her signature is bold hand- and digital-printed prints on flowing, easy-fit garments.
Milk From A Thistle is inspired by Danielle’s love of design rather than current fashion trends. Her ideas come from a kaleidoscope of people, places and things. She loves scouring second-hand stores for inspirational gems such as vintage prints and children’s books. Other designers such as Marni, Erdem, Karen Walker, Lover, Dries Van Noten, Dianne Von Furstenberg, Chloe and Marimekko influence her too.
Danielle’s designs are the result of her passion for textural mediums. She uses pen drawings, different printing mediums and quirky techniques such as screen-printing over strands of string or leaves. It is this love of fabric and textile design that is the foundation of the label and she manages to still pay homage to her musical roots with the name Milk From A Thistle. It hails from a song by American singer/harpist Joanna Newsom.

WHAT: UK Premiere of Arthur
WHEN: April 19th 2011
WHERE: Cineworld O2, London, England
Fashionwidget Verdict: D
Halston Heritage COLD SHOULDER JERSEY GOWN
The gown is very beautiful and kudos to the Philip Armstrong team for designing and crafting it but it does not flatter Katy’s body type. We think she would have looked better in this Halston Heritage one-shoulder dress $775 at mytheresa.com

We’ve been reading unfair comments about Jessica’s choice of dress and hairstyle but we beg to differ and say that she looks appropriately decked out for the big event. Her choice of this green strapless sheath by Rebecca Taylor goes perfectly with her porcelain complexion and her accessories are spot on as well.
