‘Flowers For A Vagabond' by Australian Toby Maclean

Flowers For A Vagabond is a new signature label launched by fashion designer Toby Maclean at the Rosemount Australian Fashion Week 2010. The fashion line is inspired by the structure of insects. Maclean was home-schooled in Australia. He began his career by helping his mother cut and sew her creations.
