About airdriejoolz

Hi, I'm Airdrie, and I'm a jewellery designer. (This choice of career kind of had to happen, because I am obsessed with jewellery, and I have been known to walk up to strangers in the street so that I can look at what they are wearing more closely!) My design name is Joolz. I've just released my third collection, and I'm very excited about it.
I love playing around with eco-chic ideas, and my faves in the new collection are pieces made using recycled materials eg vintage playing cards, old kid's toys and recycled umbrella silk.

I felt very priveleged to have Joolz included alongside such a talented young Australian designer's work! Her dresses had lots of wonderful detailing in the neckli

Joolz news...

Just back from several interstate exhibitons. At one I met a designer who wants Joolz for her catwalk show during the Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival coming up in a few weeks in Brisbane.

The PK Walker launch was tonight, and the Fashion Means the Wor
