I was so empty, I couldn’t be creative, I couldn’t paint or draw. I listened to the book Helter Skelter on my three-hour commute to work to take my mind off of it. It was so scary because during that process I had to work odd jobs to make ends meet for the first time since my 20s! It was a really dark time. It took me about a year to grieve losing my first brand. So then you decided to launch your own venture, Selkie?

Nine years into Wildfox, my partner decided he wanted to take the brand in a “new direction” and as a young girl, I hadn’t made strong enough partnership contracts to protect myself from this. We found a partner to finance it and it was just crazy times from there on out. Finally, after some experience working in fashion, when I was just 23-years-old, my childhood best friend and I quit our jobs to start our own clothing line: Wildfox. Especially wedding dresses! You can see how I eventually managed to tell stories with real life girls, in a way combining all three passions. Fashion was sort of this weird fall back plan my teachers and peers loved how I styled myself and friends and I drew clothes a ton.

Toys required full schooling and a degree, and I didn’t have the grades or money to go to college. After six years of filming my whole life, I was discouraged out of it day-by-day in Los Angeles. Or a doll designer! Film was a brutal world and, at the time, all male. Kim Gordon: When I was young I wanted to be a film director. Tell us about your fashion and design background?


Below, Gordon tells the Daily all about her signature powdery-pink puff dresses and the passionate story behind the scenes of her fledgling brand. Why? A quick peek at the cotton candy hues and Marie Antoinette-meets-Instagram it girl silhouette shows exactly how the label has found a forever fan base. Despite most of us staying at home for work and play, business is booming for this indie brand and its party-ready designs. “You can wear a suit and be powerful, and that suit can have wide padded shoulders and come in a bold green.In a sea of same-same WFH ‘fits that revolve around sweatsuits and loungewear, Kim Gordon’s Selkie commands attention.

They’re conservative and it’s a message that’s almost anti-feminist.” The women in Succession don’t seem to have power and the clothes reflect that. Most of these people aren’t confident, and they’re second-guessing themselves. “When I look at Succession I see the clothes as just another character in a show filled with unlikeable people. “I’ve just returned from Paris and that’s not where fashion is headed, with wide shoulders, baggy pants, colour and prints.” “People look at Succession as the return of stealth wealth dressing, but I don’t see that,” Galambos says. At her Sydney boutique Parlour X, Galambos sells creative pieces from Jacquemus, Courrèges and Mugler to wealthy clients who baulk at the idea of a plain oatmeal turtleneck jumper. These unexpected fashion fans with fortunes are closer to the style zeitgeist than the Roys, according to luxury retailer Eva Galambos. Rupert Murdoch’s granddaughter Charlotte Freud is fond of wearing punk-inspired bomber jackets and goth girl dresses from Selkie to promote her music, released under the name Tiarlie. Even members of the Murdoch family enjoy playing with fashion.
