Sisters Courtney Saxon (26) & Jade Schilling (31)
Sometimes people call us
Chalk and cheese, I guess that's why the combination works so well together. Being so different, we always come to a good compromise on all decisions made together
We earn a crust by
Co-designing Luxe Accessories and Saxonne. Doing what we love and working damn hard. Dedication and a good work ethic is the key to success - something that we learned from an early age from hard working parents
Just before we answered these we were
Paying bills
Our worst habit is
Our addiction to chocolate. Our office day is not complete with the after lunch chocolate run
If we were a fashion item we'd be
A favourite leather bag, it's understated but much loved
Who we'd like to be if not us
I f we could - we would like to be in our late Grandpa's shoes for a day. Even though he was alive when we were very young, we would love to meet him today. Everyone says we got our artistic talent and creativity from him
People tell us we are
Down to earth and grounded in life. Ideas people. Always happy and motivated with a positive attitude. Chatterboxes
Our wardrobe favourite is
Our new season Luxe studded leather biker boots - they are amazing, everyone needs a pair. They are quite different to anything that is available at the moment
If we could banish one trend it would be
EMO, where's the smile? Fashion should make people happy, not miserable
Melbourne is the nation's fashion capital because
It's where all the good designers reside. What more could people want than cafÈ culture, fashion and lifestyle all in one state?
Our biggest splurge was
Jade - my kids. Courtney - my car, I saw it and had to have it
Money can't buy happiness but
It certainly helps you on the journey there
We have never told anyone this but
We are both petrified of flying and we spend half our lives in planes. The more we fly, and the older we get, the scarier flying is becoming. Isn't there another way to get to Paris?
When down to our last $1000 - Tom Ford or Target?
Tom Ford look a-likes from Target?
What this industry needs is
More promotion of our young designers overseas. Australian designers have a lot of heart and soul to offer the fashion industry
