Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of
0:40
land and waters that this podcast is
0:42
recorded on. Hi,
0:46
I'm Clare Murphy. This is Mamma Mia's
0:48
daily news podcast, The Quickie. Want
0:50
to get ready for the Met Gala with me? We're
0:53
going to be speaking to an Aussie designer
0:55
who's had a dress appear on a Met
0:57
Gala red carpet to find out just how
0:59
much prep goes into getting a garment Met
1:01
ready. But first, here's the latest from
1:03
the Quickie newsroom, Monday, May 6. There's
1:06
relief for more than three million Aussies with
1:09
their student debt decreased by a change in
1:11
indexation. Education Minister Jason
1:13
Clare announced on Saturday that the
1:15
government will cap the Higher Education
1:17
Loan Program, or HELP, indexation rate,
1:19
eliminating around $3 billion in
1:22
student debt. The new
1:24
capped rate ensuring indexation would reflect
1:26
whichever is lower, the CPI, or
1:28
Consumer Price Index, or WPI, the
1:30
Wage Price Index. The change will
1:32
be backdated to June 2023, which means the massive 7.1% increase will
1:37
be decreased to 3.2%, with
1:40
all HELP debts receiving an indexation
1:42
credit. The Perth Muslim
1:44
community say they're bracing for potential backlash
1:47
after a radicalised teenager stabbed a man
1:49
outside a Bunnings store. The
1:51
16-year-old called Triple Zero, threatening acts of
1:53
violence from the car park of the
1:56
Bunnings in Willerton, south of Perth. Responding
1:58
officers deployed tasers when the boy rushed
2:00
at them but the tactic failed the
2:02
boy continuing to threaten police before a
2:04
single fatal shot brought him to the
2:06
ground. He was known to police and
2:08
had a history of mental health and
2:11
radicalization issues. The Imam at Perth's
2:13
largest mosque condemned the attack saying there's no
2:15
place for violence in Islam saying this was
2:17
close to home and that any one of
2:19
the community could have been at that store
2:22
on Saturday. The injured man in his 30s
2:24
was taken to hospital where he's in a
2:26
serious but stable condition. Mexican
2:28
authorities believe the death of two Australian
2:30
brothers and their American friend while on a
2:32
surfing trip to Mexico was the result of
2:35
a robbery gone wrong. Investigators
2:37
searching for Jack and Callum Robinson and their
2:39
friend Jack Carter-Road found three bodies in a
2:41
well near where the trio had been camping.
2:43
One of their mobile phones was later traced
2:46
to a woman who's since been arrested as
2:48
well as her boyfriend and another man police
2:50
believe may be behind the death of the
2:52
surfers. The car they were driving was later
2:55
found having been set on fire. A gun
2:57
found in the burned-out wreck belonged to an
2:59
individual currently under investigation. The Robinsons
3:01
boys parents are currently on their
3:04
way to Mexico to identify the
3:06
bodies of their sons. Their devastated mother
3:08
saying their only comfort is that they
3:10
were together doing something they passionately love.

10:13
a photographer to take a pre met sort
10:15
of the look before they even had to

that red carpet. For
10:20
Vessel as is the founder and design

knowing your gown is in the mix. Of
10:42
all those I think the Met
10:44
is one of those red carpet his
10:46
passion parker for probably the are the
10:48
red carpet but how such a
10:50
passion parker to work for it it
10:53
is such as foods do the degree
10:55
for an Australian Bram to get a
10:58
placement it's really be on the
11:00
red carpet where you're focusing pretty much
11:02
solely on the court and and got
11:04
the room supply and really experiment and
11:07
think outside the box or putting
11:09
placement on their the she John Merrick
11:11
rotting. I'm. Really interested to
11:13
know how you works with
11:15
the celeb who wore your
11:17
gown because Kill Tonight is
11:19
a Canadian star. Obviously.
11:22
That if a long, long way away. The
11:25
suffer so. How do you
11:27
organize beatings and. All.
11:30
Of those things with someone when they're on the other side
11:32
of the planet. What? We worked with
11:34
Karate for a lot number of years
11:37
now so we have quite a good
11:39
relationship with her but majority of our
11:41
clients how is actually Rbc. I'm into
11:43
state so we've got quatre pressing process
11:45
in place for doing feelings and all
11:47
about sars, taking measurements and making sure
11:49
that we've got the right measurement that
11:51
will reduce them. Mates. A
11:53
mannequin to that clients proportions himself. So
11:56
with that, something to sit sir And
11:58
we've got an amazing thing. I'm
12:02
making sure that everything fits perfectly. So
12:04
when I approached us and requesting that
12:06
down which is actually from our Disney
12:08
collection month Upon a Dream, he has
12:11
the kiss of True Love honor in
12:13
the center. sorry, I think that was
12:15
what Drew county to that design in
12:17
the first place. So then we took
12:19
the dress my the Alterations Matrix with
12:21
fitted to her proportions and sent it
12:24
over and it thankfully fits perfectly. For.
12:26
How long before the neck down to see Try
12:28
that dress on for the first time? I rl.
12:31
I think it was about. Two to
12:33
three months beforehand because that's quite a
12:35
shortly time really when we're talking about
12:37
a critical address because these pieces are
12:39
handmade, hand embroidered and a lot of
12:41
the people that are going to the
12:44
Met don't find out and to very
12:46
last minute. And that's the case for
12:48
most of the red carpet that we
12:50
do. so it is working to quite
12:52
tight deadlines most of the time and
12:54
in some cases. Will. Get Colin.
12:57
Maybe. A week before. Cyclists.
12:59
I haven't seen the stress and millions
13:01
of people have because it's one of
13:04
the most photographed events in the world.
13:06
But it's a beautiful black. Yeah, we
13:08
sat red hot shape in the middle.
13:10
Were all of these threads pulling together
13:12
and it doesn't really look like a
13:14
night sky. almost stars exploding That you
13:16
say this is like hands sign hand
13:19
stitched to a how long does it
13:21
take to actually make this comment. From
13:23
scratch from scratch, it's about three
13:25
months worth of work inside. The
13:27
Downs I worked on by out
13:29
whole team, not just designing but
13:31
cutting, pattern, matching, fitting. Even before
13:33
the dresses actually made in, the
13:35
actual fabric we make was called.
13:37
it's while said like a prototype
13:39
of the design where we work
13:41
out the design, line, the fit
13:43
you know for example.dress the Heart
13:45
is actually got love courts from
13:47
Sleeping Beauty embroidered in the skirt
13:49
and throughout so you know the
13:51
placement of that. Deciding what courts are
13:54
going on there, deciding the thread colors,
13:56
All of that. It's months and months
13:58
of work. Health. In feel,
14:00
Poulter has months and months and
14:02
hours and hours of work on
14:04
this one dress. Have. A
14:06
filter them like sin that out into the world
14:09
because then you will lie for for on the
14:11
person who wears that gown to do it justice.
14:13
How does that feel That feel a little bit
14:15
like you know sending kids out the empty nesting?
14:17
What does it feel. I have absolutely. And
14:20
you darby as I've gotten better at
14:22
it. We old
14:24
are you a good team and I
14:26
thought to myself with has this really
14:28
strong personal attachment to these pieces particular
14:30
ago that worked on our. Side.
14:33
When something go out the your immensely
14:35

14:49
of place.probably the trying to fight or
14:51

14:54
with the heart. So. Everything is
14:56
working together in those borders but you
14:58
hold your breath waiting to see the
15:00
peace walked down the red carpet. Toward.
15:02
Your fingers must tweets. When you watch these
15:05
things. Yeah, When he told. Me about like the
15:07

15:09

thirty years later. see it happening is
15:40
just the best feeling world. Oh.
15:43
How do you feel about this? He is
15:45
theme the garden of time. There's been lots
15:47
of conjecture about what outfits are going to
15:49
be walking that red carpet. There's lots of
15:51
talk obviously of flowers. In foliage and all
15:53
those kinds. Of things that what sort of things
15:55
do you think will be walking. The red Carpet this
15:57
year as a getting paid to in so many
15:59
ways. I suspect that there
16:01
will be a lot of archival
16:03
pieces cause when we think of
16:05
a god and there are so
16:07
many different things that make up
16:09
a god and different flowers, different
16:11
form of laura so I think
16:13
they'll be a room eclectic mix
16:15
Aws archival pieces and people may
16:17
be making a reference to some
16:20
historical fashion moments perhaps. The. You're
16:22
a celebrity that you really find the
16:24
most interesting in made fashion choices when
16:26
they tend dissident. Look. I
16:28
love Jennifer Lopez since Nineteen
16:31
Ninety Nine or see. The coach
16:33
