Unzipped: Jo-Ann Kellock

Name
Jo-Ann Kellock

Age
Hmm would you believe 52 years because I can't

Position
Executive director, Council of Textiles and Fashion Industries of Australia (TFIA)

Experience
20 years in textiles and fashion designing, manufacturing, selling, teaching and managing

Location
Glassworks, Collingwood

My childhood dream job
Anything in riding boots and on a farm

My first job
Lay-by person in a toy store

My big break 
This job at TFIA...I'm still pinching myself about the possibilities...

My biggest risk
Opening a boutique in Melbourne Central

My proudest moment
Every day when I think of my kids

My biggest regret
My broken heart

My biggest fashion faux pas
Too tight, too short and too low! 

My mentor
The 'enlightened' ones     

If I could do it over
I'd always speak the truth even when it's painful for others

If I wasn't in fashion I'd be
I can't think where else I'd rather be

In my spare time I
Exercise my mind...I love sudoko and reading

People would be surprised to know I

...am about to walk the Kokoda Trail

I want my epitaph to say
She did it...
