Designers fly the chequered flag for fashion

When you heard just what exactly had happened to Georgia, what sort of emotions did you go through?
[My husband] Steve was physically sick when we were told what had happened to Georgia. I remember sitting there in shock, it didn't seem real. I can recall sitting up in our bedroom, looking out of the window, watching everyone going about their everyday business, and crying, thinking [how] they were oblivious to our torment we found ourselves in.
Shock took over our lives at that point. We seemed to be pushed along by deadlines and meetings.
What impact has the murder of your daughter had on your life?
Steve has been a Detective for many years in the police. He had always thought, along with me, that he knew to a degree what others in our situation had gone through, and that he could 'understand'. Believe me when I say there is no way, unless you're in our circumstances, that you could ever imagine the pain, how your whole life is suddenly turned upside down, and makes everything difficult and uncertain. Every day is a struggle - to get up, dressed, showered, fed. You can't be bothered, or you just forget if I'm honest.
There are certain places, like the Telford Town Centre, where I worked, that I still can't visit. It's too busy, there are too many people I know, too many memories of happy times shopping with my girls.
Steve is back at work, but it has been difficult on so many levels - with disciplinaries to deal with, reports into mishandling of previous cases with Reynolds prior to Georgia's death. IF the authorities had dealt with him properly then, she would still be alive today.
We are trying to move on with our lives, but it is hard. I am determined that Reynolds will not destroy the family I have left.
Reynolds will never be released from prison - how did you feel when his whole-life sentence was handed down?
I remember that Steve, Scarlett and myself sat there and all held hands for the verdict. It wasn't a celebration, more a relief, even more so when I realised that the whole life tariff meant he could never harm anyone else again - which is what he planned and would still do if released. To me, it meant that I didn't have to think of him again.
He's locked away, I hope he's having a torrid time. I hope he knows that.
Do you think capital punishment should be an option in the UK for killers such as Reynolds?
I would welcome it. Reynolds, beyond 'any reasonable doubt' was guilty. He is not MAD, but BAD.
He had detailed plans of what he needed to obtain, where to put the implements, how to organise the day, how to manipulate the other friends that should have been there with Georgia. Even ensuring his sister didn't turn up at the house earlier and catch him out.
There were thousands of pornographic materials linked ot what he would be doing to Georgia, then he took photos of himself with her - during the murder, then afterwards with her, in every room of the house. Then he had tried to hide all the evidence by trying to delete it all.
The police found stories about more than 40 other girls that he fantasised about, and what he wanted to do to them. Lots of them were local girls, girls we knew. He hadn't planned on stopping at Georgia.
Reynolds should not have the luxury of life, he didn't give that same consideration to Georgia.
She also included a black-and-white choker, a standout accessory trend for winter 2016.
The formal dresses canberra took about three days to make, which "was a much quicker process than what would have been if I was starting a new collection".
Pavlou won $1000 and the honour of having her vintage formal dresses modelled at the Glamour on the Grid Grand Prix VIP party on Wednesday night.
Since finishing her studies, she has been entering competitions, styling, blogging, building her Instagram following and applying for design and styling work.
However, ultimately, she would like to start her own label, inspired by some of her favourite fashion names including Alex Perry, Carla Zampatti, Dion Lee, Chanel and Versace.
Her muse is a woman who is "confident [and] wants to showcase that through their clothing, on trend but classic, isn't afraid to stand out without being over-the-top quirky".
"They want people to have a second glance at them," she said.
