Scarf Silk | Birds of Australia | Tara Whalley

Tara Whalley's silk scarves are a lively extension of her hand-painted textile art, featuring original gouache designs inspired by personal stories, nature, and heirlooms. Each scarf is a wearable artwork, crated from the softest silk. The Birds of Australia print is a playful exploration in which Tara Whalley studies her favourite birds of the Wangaratta area.  

Tara launched her self-titled fashion brand in 2015 after a formative year in Guatemala working with war-affected Mayan weavers, an experience that shaped her approach to storytelling through print. Her Melbourne-made collections use natural fibres, digital printing to reduce waste, and offcut reuse to minimise impact. Her work has appeared at Paris and New York Fashion Weeks and has been featured in Vogue, The Age, The Design Files, and InStyle. She was awarded the Frankie Magazine Fashion Designer Award in 2019.
