About 12 years ago a couple of Brisbanites went to their first Medieval festival, “The Abbey Medieval Tournament”.
Having never been to such an event both Danielle and Anthony were inspired to not only make medieval styled
fashions, but after seeing the vast quantity of poorly made fashions on the day were determined not to be like the rest.
Instead to manufacture the highest quality garment of its style available. To this day Moon Star Magic prides
itself by the fact they’ve never created a single garment in the cheap and nasty velour velvets, crushed stretch velvets
or any other numerous cheap fabrics most others seem happy to use. Although we will make curtains from them ;)
In 1996 the label took what little designs they had made to Brisbane’s Southbank markets and were
amazed when they retured home with nothing left. They sold everything! What’s even stranger is they
initially only ever wanted to sell shirts and bodices. The public pretty much moulded Moon Star into the
phenomina it is today. People would ask if they could make a skirt that compimented their bodices or
a blouse that went with that, etc etc. Then came the brides who wanted it made in the quality bridal
satins, chifons and brocades...“Oh! and could you make it in Off White!?” The school formal
and bridal market was something that never actually crossed their minds. But they ran with it and
are now leaders in their field.
3 years later Moon Star Magic opened its first boutique above Brisbane’s most famous cafe,
the ‘3 Monkeys cafe’, Almost 10 years on, and after literally hundreds if not thousands of
combined weddings, school formals, balls, etc they’re still going strong with a second Ferny Hills
shop under their belt. Yee Har!! What a ride!
Moon Star Magic are first and foremost artists. We’re the first ones to admit that we’re the worst
business operators anywhere. The lifestyle and opportunity to meet interesting and beautiful people
is where it’s at in our book. Hey we’re reliable and get the job done always beyond expectation! We’re
just not in it for the money or the fame. We treat our customers how we like to be treated ;)
So yeah! Moon Star Magic was basically an accident that happended after the harmless coment,
“hey! wouldnt it be cool to make these clothes and be or own boss!”
