About 4 Oneness
Hi, my name is Victoria Paul and I have been creating fashion since 2003.
It all began when I visited a town in India where people designed and bought clothing. I was greatly inspired by what I saw and it instantly kick started a rush of creativity.
As a small child I used to lie in bed designing womens clothing. I will never forget the hot pink love heart bikinis but that's another story!
I headed back home to Tasmania and with my last $2000 I designed my first collection of womens clothing that I started selling at Salamanca market in Hobart. By my second market it was clear to me that there was a demand for my designs and I realised that it might be possible to earn a living from this.
Fair Trade
I travel overseas to India yearly to hand pick my rare and wonderful pure silks, print my own cottons, choose my jerseys and find beautiful hidden treasures that you can find in our retail shop. I try to buy as much as i can from the people who make them so i can offer them a better price. I work along side my team - sketching, cutting patterns and being very hands on. As a designer it is rewarding to be so directly involved with the manufacture and creating of my collections and it enables me to oversee all levels of the production chain so as to ensure that the highest ethical standards are maintained in the manufacture of 4 Oneness creations.
Small Projects
4 Oneness to me means that we are all one. One Love, One World, One Tribe.
In India, every year we like to do something for the community and/or less fortunate like
* Our latest project is starting a nursery in a rural village to create an income for the community. It is still on going and has been a learning experience to say the least. From irrigation to the simple things like big green netting to protect the plants from the very high temperatures that Rajasthan can get up too.
Other projects are.......
- supplying sports equipment to local schools
- buying pencils and school books for school children
- planting fruit trees for rural villages
We also supply clothing for entire families and help out with medical aid and supplies.
This not only helps local families but also brings us great joy a little goes a long way.
