Heidi is the creative director and head designer at Sass & Bride, a position she has now held for thirteen years. An incredibly beautiful woman, with a wealth of fashion and style history - I was delighted to be given a glimpse into her home in the Northen Beaches region, around 40 miles north of Sydney.
Forget Barbie's dream house, this is mine. Built in the 1940s and at one point occupied by a flamboyant gay fashion designer and a celebrated Australian painter, the house resembles an Italian terraced villa. The entire front of the house facing the bay is open, basking in sunlight throughout the day and displaying breathtaking sunsets at dusk. The walls are covered in smooth white stucco and the windows kept in their original floor to ceiling frames. “The house has a colorful history,” reveals Heidi. “We have slowly been ‘chipping away at the diamond’ with small to medium sized renovations and now have plans at council to make some significant changes like adding another story to the top level. I have designed a large room/walk-in closet as part of the new floor.”
