Collette Dinnigan is an icon of Australian fashion with a deep connection to the South Coast and the Southern Highlands. 

Closing up her boutiques in 2013 to spend more time with family, Collette has since spent time living in Rome, the far South Coast and Bowral, where she currently resides.

Collette’s designs are also part of an exhibition currently on display at the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum. 

This Australian Fashion Week, Collette joined  Lindsay McDougall on Drive to talk about her designs, life since closing the business, dressing Taylor Swift and her new book.
