The career of Geelong’s Emma Davenport has just lit up with a deal of a lifetime.
Words: Emily Iannello
The emerging talents has been a publicist for Network Ten, worked on popular programs such as Neighbours and even covered the red carpet at the 2014 Brownlow Medal this year.
But Emma, a graduate from Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus, is now focusing her talents elsewhere – a new scented candle range for fashion label Portmans.
Emma’s brand, Grace and James, named after her elder brothers – one nicknamed Grac e – supplies candles to 55 stores around Australia and New Zealand.
Portmans contacted Emma six months ago seeking to collaborate with Grace and James.
“They loved what we were about, they loved our range,” Emma says.
Four scents from the Grace and James candle range have been rebranded into an exclusive collection for Portmans.
The design of the candles features artwork from prints in the Portmans spring/summer clothes collection.
“It’s pretty exciting for such a big label to take on a new little candle company,” Emma says.
