Duo have designs on east coast

They wowed local fashionistas with their designs at last year's Perth Fashion Festival and this year's Perth Fashion Week and now local design duo Zhivago, Lara Kovacevich and Lydia Tsvetnenko, have their eyes set on the east coast.

While the pair have been a bit quiet of late because of Tsvetnenko's pregnancy (she is due on Australia Day), they are preparing for a big 2013.

Zhivago are working towards showing alongside the cream of the Australian fashion industry at its two premier events.

They intend to present their glamorous garments, which have already started to be sold overseas, at L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival 2013 and 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia in Sydney.
