Collection Title Clash City
Clash City description Kelly Davies bends traditional fasion rules this season, with her aptly titled 'Clash City' collection. Kelly says "The text book way of a designer to create their seasonal range is to base it on a theme, with inspiration coming from one source. I've gone agaisnt that rule this time, using colours, shapes and styles that I would wear, weather they match or not".
Love Story Imagine a love story that spans more than 56 years…
This then is the story of the lives and the love of Maurie and Eve.
How Maurie met Eve was legendary…
The bronzed lifesaver rescuing the beautiful maiden from the surf at Bronte Beach…
What followed was a blessed life together, with children and then grandchildren filling their lives with love, laughter and fulfillment.
Their undying love for each other was an inspiration to all whose lives they touched over their lifetime.
But there is a time for everything and that time came for them to leave us…
They left in spirit together, hand in hand, just how they lived their lives…
A True Love Story…
About Us Founded by Kelly Davies in 2002 the life of the Maurie & Eve label began in her bedroom.
When Kelly's grandparents passed away her Nan’s sewing machine was passed down to her. Her creative flair for fashion guided her through designing & making the famous "Patch Singlet" which is still selling successfully today. Kelly was approached by several boutiques and was asked to design a small range of singlets...
Its all snowballed from there with Kelly's first ready to wear range in store from Summer 2006.
From simple beginnings Maurie & Eve now has a fast growing production team with Kelly's long time high school friend Maya Clemmensen & Scott, Kelly's brother (Maya's boyfriend) joining M&E as the Managing directors to keep up with the high demand and help guide the Label through the ongoing pressure and challenges of running your own business.
The combination of the many talents buzzing around the office has proved to be a winning formula. With productive days & plenty of shits & giggles Maurie & Eve's certainly enjoying the journey!!!

What inspired your decision to become a designer? Ever since I was little I always Loved clothes. Dressing up in Mums high heels was number 1 on my play date list. I always hoped to work in a creative field and fashion was something that enabled me to fulfill my creative side.
What do you feel is unique about your designs? Maurie & Eve wear has a real sense of fun but has that sexy quirky feel about it too. I don’t take myself too seriously and try to show that through my designs.
What is your professional background? I’m a self taught sewer & am still learning how to run my own business. I have learnt a lot along the way and have made a lot of mistakes but hey that’s what its all about.
My Childhood Dream Job: I was a little drama queen when I was younger and my family always thought I would do something in the acting area…. But I’m actually quite shy.
I love my job because: Its my passion, I work with my bestfriends, I work my own hours and I get to Travel a fair bit.
We are a hard working team, We love our jobs. We take chances.
Love who you are, What you are and what you do. Laugh at yourself and at life and nothing can touch you. It's all temporary anyway. Next lifetime you will do it differently anyway so why not do it differently now?
In my Spare time I: Spend time with my Lover, Wine time with girlfriends, Go Shopping, Exercise, Go to the Beach, read and I Love to cook!!
Big Break: Sewing up my first range of singlets and finding out they sold out in 1 week….
Biggest Risk: Quitting my job and relying on my creations to support me… but its better to try and fail then to never have tried at all.
My Proudest moments: • Moving into my new warehouse with my brother who is now my business partner and hiring my bestfriend as the managing director who is my brothers girlfriend….. we are a close knit.
• Jennifer Hawkins wearing Maurie & Eve…. Miss Universe you can’t get much better than that!!
• Selling to so many beautiful Boutiques, its such a wonderful feeling to send the range to all of my favorite stores.
Biggest Mistake: Plenty of mistakes... As long as we learn from them it's ok, it's all part of running your own business.
If I could do it over: To go with my gut feeling always and not be influenced by others. I'd stress less.
My Mentor: Mum & Dad for their undying love and respect for each other, they set such an amazing example.
My Idea that never took off: The Urban Sombrero
If I wasn't in Fashion I'd Be: Out of fashion
Favorite Tv Shows: Seinfeld & 60 Minutes
Favorite food: Chillies
People would be surprised to know: I am a bitch in the morning & I am obsessed with Jails.
Five Places you have been on Vacation: * Paris
* London
* Byron Bay
* Prague
* Bali
I want my Epitaph to say:
I'm behind you...
Fave Designers: That’s Tough…. I have so many. Stella Mc Cartney, Tsubi, Zimmermann, Kirrily Johnson, Alice Mc Call, Friedrich Gray, Ginger & Smart…. just to name a few
What are you listening to at the moment? There’s a few playlists on my ipod I’ve been listening to. Songs by The Strokes, The Kooks, Bloc Party, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Hellogoodbye, The Subways, Sarah Blasko, The Presets, Van She and all the 80’s classics!
