Sydney artist’s greatest extravagance is seeing the world
The figurative artist loves fresh flowers, dressing up and India’s golden triangle. Here are a few more of her favourite things. From the winter issue out on May 17.
Annabelle Gfeller at home in Sydney with some of her own artwork. Her dress is by Shona Joy. “Wearing colour is my thing.” Louie Douvis
My style signature is … Colourful, feminine and elegant with a touch of bohemian spirit. I love the ease of a dress and often gravitate to patterns. And Chloé is my favourite brand for bags. Wearing colour is my thing – I find it affects my moods so it is rare for me to wear black. I’m never going to be a Melburnian.
The most fabulous item in my wardrobe is … A stunning Rebecca Vallance fitted dress in black (ha!) with embellished detailing of silver sequinned birds and flowers. It’s like a work of art. I am aware I’m contradicting myself with this – yes, it’s a black dress! But it’s a real statement piece.
