Camberwell’s Wendy Trinet lived many little girls’ dream when she was a youngster growing up in Paris.

Her great grandmother was a leading French stylist and Trinet said many of her famous crochet dresses, vests and hats were passed down to her.

She whiled away her childhood days creating dress designs of her own, and as she grew older she attended a fashion school in London before meeting her husband and moving to Melbourne.

When her son Floyd was born in 2016 she said it was love at first sight, and so the name of her new fashion label, Eyes on Floyd, was formed.

Now a mother of two, she said business was thriving and her dream was to grow her company further so she could employ others.

She also said she hoped to one day see her designs stocked in stores overseas, particularly in her native France.

“My brand combines the best of Vintage Parisian chic and French Riviera style and creating effortless beautiful pieces,” she said.

“Having worked the past ten years as a designer and buyer for large Australian retailers, I decided to start my label while on maternity leave. My first boy is called Floyd and where the name came from too as I could not keep my eyes of him.”

Trinet said she loved her new home in Camberwell and took inspiration from the suburb’s beautiful gardens. Visit: eyesonfloyd.com
