RACHELLE ROE STUDIO FORMERLY NEETZ DESIGNZ

elcome to issue number three of the EYS magazine.
Your response to this magazine has been entirely out of this world, and I sincerely thank each and every one of you who are reading our articles right now. Our editor in chief, Jasmina Siderovski, has done an absolutely fantastic job to bring this fantastic magazine to life once again. This month, I am very excited to announce my rebrand from Neetz Designz to Rachelle Roe Studio. This huge decision took many a sleepless night before I could bring myself to commit to the change which embraced the adoption of incorporating my middle name. I love the sound of the flow, and I am proud of the result. My passion for jewellery designing and photography has now merged, and I honestly feel this will give me the opportunity to focus on both my talents equally. This month I would like to share two very different photo shoots which are very close to my heart. I had not long upgraded my camera to a Nikon, and the incredibly clear Winter skies were calling me to indulge in the beauty that Mother Nature blesses us with. Port Arkwright is located near Coolum Beach in sunny Queensland and is a divine location all year round. The secluded beach was exactly what we needed to make magic happen. This particular collaboration incorporated Chantilly Tutu’s boho range, which my stepdaughter Megan models so beautifully, not to mention it was also the launch of my Meraki Earth Collection and new men’s line of jewellery.

I was extremely fortunate to find a male model who could do my jewellery justice, and I would have to say that this particular photo shoot holds a special place in my heart. The spiritual feel of the entire collaboration shines brightly, and I couldn’t have wished for a perfect team of contributors who are now dear friends. Featured also this month are a few images from one of my shoots at Old Petrie Town, which is a favourite location of mine. The little township is like taking a step back in time and provides some incredible backdrops. The beautiful Deepti models’ clothing by a very young fashion designer “Luna and Solis the Label”. To help showcase such a young and upcoming designer was an absolute privilege and another reason why I like to support local designers and businesses. Since my move back home to Toowoomba, I have come across likeminded designers, businesses, models and creatives and I look very forward to collaborating with a fresh group of talented souls
