“The quirky and bright label Mother Maria presented it’s first range in Spring 2006. The range was born from designer Katie Gannon’s love for vintage fabrics, blending retro prints with bold new colours and timeless sillouettes of era’s gone by. The name was born from Katie’s late polish grandmother, Maria Duchnicz, who was always an apple in her eye.” -MotherMaria.com.au

Last weekend I interviewed Katie Gannon of Mother Maria on the Sunshine Coast. I was up there to do a photo shoot with Katie, after being in contact with her via email after the Ethical Fashion Showcase that I documented earlier this year.

As this was only my second ever podcast interview, I’m still learning the process and working with my interviewing skills. There was a lot of traffic noise during this interview and I “ummed and ahh” too much during my questioning. Nevertheless I know I’m learning and I enjoy doing my interviewing in one take. My introduction had to be redone due to overly excessive noise and wind. That’s me sitting in my l lounge room if you download the video.

I hope you enjoy this interview, make sure you check out mothermaria.com.au and add Mother Maria as you friend on myspace here
