MAKER #6 - HOLLY HIPWELL
Holly Hipwell, at her home, Nashua, NSW
Yes, you've heard of the famous FLOWER DRUM, and yes, you have heard that at the helm is an eccentric and brilliantly talented lady named Holly Hipwell.
Holly is an artist, whose canvas or medium is flowers. Holly has created arrangements and installations for countless celebrity weddings, events, runway shows, tours, brands, you bloody name it.
Mine and Holly's relationship dates back to Rosebury in 2006, where we both worked for the at-the-time counter culture juggernaut Insight. We later went on to share a store together in Narrabeen called The Sugarmill, until the demand for Holly's arrangements outweighed her need for a little florist. Since then she has soared like a phoenix rising from the narrabeen sands ashes.
In order, Holly wears;

Unisex Overalls - greenish
