      Soul Sanctuary
      2002 - 2006 (4 years)
      Soul Sanctuary was a complete 4000 sq ft urban retreat, beauty sanctuary, experience and relaxation haven. The retreat was the first of it kind in Chicago, where women could take a yoga class or relax with a massage and facial, have tea with friends after in the lounge, shop and have their children looked after by the in-house nanny. It was a place to experience new ways couples could connect and a haven you could escape to for some downtime in the hustle and bustle of the city.

      The first floor was a complete beauty and wellness boutique, the second floor was a tea lounge and private pedicure lounge with individual cocoons you could escape to while being pampered and the third floor was all beauty services, facials and massage and a 1000 sq ft yoga floor. The sanctuary was a Decleor and Epicuren spa.

      The Soul Sanctuary was regularly featured in the Chicago Tribune and on Daily Candy and was chosen by SHOWTIME USA to be part of a 6 series show highlighting the unique couples experiences the sanctuary offered.

      Australian Hall of Fame

      Chosen by Nes Cafe as a brand spokesperson and mentor for women in business.

      The Story-
      Invented, patented, designed and manufactured the first ever women's low-rise, hipster underwear and hosiery worldwide. The unique simple invention was the first of its kind in the fashion industry in 1995. The Hippies collection was in over 1800 stores globally in its second year with 70% of the market in USA department stores and boutiques. The Hippies products appeared on OPRAH and the story and products graced the pages of many international fashion and business magazines around the world.
      The simple invention changed the women's lingerie industry globally, and now every major lingerie company from Victoria Secret to Bonds carries a hipster design in their collections.

      What started with a simple frustration of cutting the tops of underwear and pantyhose to accommodate low rise fashions is now a global phenomenon that changed the world of "hip" fashion.
