Batchelor
The One Off Batchelor
Robert Batchelor is not a man who enjoys talking about himself. He lets his designs do that for him. His one off pieces
Robert began his artistic forays in the realm of jewelry but soon decided to extend his talent to garments. His initial training is evident in his designs. Robert likes to begin with plain fabrics and highlight them with intricate beading, detailing, hand stitching and ornamentation until an elaborate and attractive garment is produced.
The label is called Batchelor and caters to the contemporary woman. His latest range include daywear that is a concoction of layers and wrapping fabrics as well as his signature one off pieces and gowns.
Batchelor will be displaying his latest range at the designedge fashion incubator exhibit at the Spring Summer Mercedes Australian Fashion Week.
Viewing of labels in the designedge fashion incubator agents showroom is by appointment with showroom coordinator/s TCFWA Committee Members, Margaret & Karl Farrell

designedge fashion incubator - belmont has shown its significance to the fashion industry in Western Australia with its constant growth and development. Established by TCFWA & Belmont BEC in February 2005, it is now the largest community based fashion incubator in Australia, housing over 70 West Australian labels. It offers a magnitude of opportunities to fashion labels at all stages of development from established to emerging designers by providing a retail outlet for them to sell their collections to the general public as well as offer them a base where national and international agents can view their collections. With the strong industry connections and know how of Carol Hanlon at the helm, the initiative also offers its designers wishing to start a new fashion label or to grow their existing label the tools to develop a successful small business in the fashion industry.
