Mushama & Me
2007-
Sharn Blackwell completed her Otago Polytechnic fashion design degree in 2007 following an exchange during her summer break to IED Moda Lab Milan.
Sharn was selected to show in the iD International Emerging Designer Awards in 2008. In 2012, while working for a plus size label in the Netherlands, and having been inspired by vintage tablecloths found in European flea markets, she established Mushama & Me.
Now back in New Zealand, she has relaunched the brand and is producing fashionable unique raincoats from laminated vintage fabrics.
