#1 NonBinary Grackle Enamel Pin
Inspired by the Make 100 Projects, I decided to turn a drawing into an enamel pin.
So, I spent a lot of time a few months ago staring at enamel pins, including gender pride pins, on websites like Etsy, Amazon, and Kickstarter, and I noticed that, while there was plenty of pins for Gay Pride, Bisexual Pride, Trans Pride, and Ace Pride, there wasn't a lot out there for "the others" the Nonbinary. So I decided to make one.
Jop Conrad#2 Gidget Swimwear
Gidget Swimwear is comfortable, functional swimwear that keep you covered. Gidget Swimwear is made for those that have a love affair with water. Of all the swimming suits on the market, there are very few that actually function and are comfortable in the water. Many women’s swimming suits don’t fit well because they are made for only one body type, but in reality many of us don't fit that criteria. Our suits are designed for comfort and coverage for many body shapes and sizes. Our cross back style suits take the strain off your neck that halter suits typically give you, and help distribute the weight for the most comfort and function. Our suits contain a lower shelf bra to fit women with chests of all sizes. Our suits are double lined and fit tight to the skin for full containment, and comfort, providing full chest and booty coverage. No tugging or pulling necessary.
Gidget Swimwear was created for those searching for the perfect swimming suit. Our suits balance fashion, comfort, and style AND still keep you covered. We don't want you to have to worry whether or not the suit will hold you in - we've got you covered!
Back us on Kickstarter today to get your Gidget swimsuit!

Keagan Neptune#3 FUNKY SOCKS by DTMX URBAN SILVER SOCKS
DTMX stands for Doctor Tripp & the Moonlight Xpress, who are 2 the most important people behind this project: its creativity and brainstorm.
A time ago, we were looking for a pair of socks that kept our feet fresh and comfortable for a long day, but yet trendy and fashionable. We also wanted socks with an eye catching, timeless look. The socks that are on the market today offer either one (sport socks) or the other (just ordinary dress socks) and we felt like there had to be something better out there.
So one day while searching the internet for those exclusive socks, it dawned on us to create our own socks for healthy feet that incorporates fashion, sustainability & innovation. That's how DTMX socks were born.
Freshness & functionality of DTMX socks is a core value of the brand. Antibacterial effect of our garments is due to silver (Ag) nano-particles blended into the yarn. The antibacterial effect is permanent and can not be removed by washing.
IMPORTANT FEATURES OF SILTEX:
* antibacterial effect resulting from the suppression of bacteria and fungi* anti-allergenic* lightweight - suitable for sports* airflow enhancing technology* fiber strength* feet odor reduction* perfect for any daily wear occasion: gym, office, club or long journey* moisture wicking
DTMX socks timeless designs incorporate minimalism contrasting with an array of bright geometrical patterns, celebrating art, architecture, great music and great time.
DTMX deliver a high quality sock that is responsibly made and durable. All our garments are manufactured to the highest quality standards. DTMX socks production facility is located in the heart of Europe in a small town of Třebič, Czech republic. The factory has been established in 1935 and has a long history including cooperation with high-end brands, making it one of the top sock knitters in the world.
Made from 2 types of yarn: premium combed cotton or bamboo fiber.
* seamless toe closure* reinforced heel and toe* breathable premium cotton or bamboo fiber
DTMX socks is one of the few manufacturers of socks that still operate in the old way, with the socks closed by hand. What this implies is that, when the sock leaves the knitting machine, it is moved to a separate flat-bed machine, where the points of the sock (the final stitches on the outer edge of the sock) are matched together one by one on a serrated wheel, and looped together with a single thread of cotton, wool, silk or cashmere fabric. This results in a seam so flat, that you cannot feel it when wearing the socks.

Rachel Quinlan#22 NIKKOU STORE – CASUARINA, NSW
My name is Tiffany Cooper – the owner and founder of Nikkou Store coming soon to Casuarina. Call me crazy, but I have decided to leave the 9 – 5 and begin my life long (27 year) dream of sharing beautiful pieces in my very own concept store.
Memories from my childhood bring me back to my first fashion parade at three years of age, in my hometown of Lithgow. It was a Teddy Bear’s Picnic fundraising event, I modelled Oshkosh b'gosh whilst flinging along my favourite Teddy Bear, I had picked out earlier. I was basically on my way to the Victoria Secret show. A few years later my Mum brought home a VHS copy of Grease (1998) starring Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. The storyline of transforming Sandy from a good girl gone bad by sporting a new look had me mesmerised. I watched it over and over studying the outfits, the music, the hair, until I knew every outfit and every word off by heart.
In 2000 after surviving the 'apocalypse' Mum persuaded Dad that we were swapping our small quiet town of Lithgow in the Blue Mountains for a life of glitz and glamour on the Gold Coast. ‘We are moving with or without you Ash,’ I remember Mum saying to Dad. As primary school came and went, and Year 12 graduation came closer, my friends ventured off to Uni and I followed my dream of working in the fashion industry to Melbourne. For just over a year I worked and studied, ate 99c cans of tuna for breakfast, lunch and dinner and was comforted by my electric blanket as the only source of heating. I would set up in bed in the middle of the day writing and researching for my assignments just to keep warm. I came to realise that this fashion business in Melbourne wasn’t the lifestyle I was chasing. This Aquarian, Gold Coast girl needed to be salty, sun kissed and by the sea.
I moved back home with my tail between my legs, a better understanding of the world but still eager to pursue my dream in fashion, whatever that may be - I was still yet to discover. After studying my Business Degree in Events and Marketing, working in retail customer service - most recently as the wholesale manager for Zulu & Zephyr and the continual support from my friends and family, the seed for Nikkou Store was planted. I just didn’t know where or how but I had a burning desire to work it out.
