Catherine Martin
Autobiography of her Life
Catherine Martin is 56 years old, is born on January 1965 Lindfield, New South Wales, Australia. Her French mother was studied mathematics, and her Australian father was studying eighteenth-century French literature, who met at the Sorbonne, Paris. She and her brother grew up in a typical income family in a very safe family neighbourhood in Sydney.
During her childhood, she was fascinated by the vintage clothing parades occasionally thrown by her father grandmother and her church friends. Martin loved to visit Albert Museum and the Victoria, so she admired the costume section. Her mother later taught her how to use a sewing machine at age 6, and by age 15, she started to create her outfit by creating and design her patterns. Her design was inspired by her beloved childhood movie The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind.
