Designer Label DePazzi at Italian Week Italian Festival

Designer DePazzi presented by Alessandro Sorbello Productions http://www.alessandrosorbello.com Bruce Tully Fashion Designer will feature as part of Italian Week 2008 in Brisbane http://www.italianweek.com.au Italian Festival is produced by Alessandro Sorbello for the Italian Consulate.

Depazzi captures all that is Australian. The Depazzi story began more than 100 years ago. The families of business partners Bruce Tully and James Evert were

amongst the earliest pioneers of opal mining back in the late 1800s.

Creative Director Bruce Tully, subject of ABC's Australian Story episode "Romancing the Stone" in 2005, describes opal as a hologram from ancient times; and

crocodiles the perfect predator - living dinosaurs with the lines of time etched into their rugged beauty - the ultimate leather luxury.

Tully exclaims "After all, it is the chemistry of the people involved in this company that makes it successful, rather than the efforts of one Director or

Designer. Really it's our core vision as the people who drive the business, combined with an extraordinary team of people we have attracted including:

Elisabetta Gucci, tutors in Italy, photographer Richard De Chazal, designer Eva Burgija, media advisor Selena Wallace, our craftsmen, the media and many

others who have believed in Depazzi from conception."
With precious gemstones, extraordinary designs, branding, and a tremendous sense of national pride...there is no question that Bruce Tully, James Evert and

the team are changing the way the world looks at opals - and Australia.

The primary materials incorporated in designs are Opal, Crocodile Leather, South Sea Pearls and Precious Metals. Indigenous Australians believed opal

empowered women. The design concept is striking in its simplicity. It is innovative, raw and sensual and when combined with these exquisite materials, the

combination can only be described as Primal Elegance. Bruce Tully will appear in a one-hour documentary showcasing five artists inspired by the outback

including: Pro Hart and Troy Cassar-Daley... Saturday, 17th June :: Network 10 at 4pm. The one hour show is called Outback Inspirations.
