Norma Tullo (31 January 1935 – 18 February 2019) was an Australian fashion designer, known for her use of Australian wool in her women's fashion collections during the 1960s and 1970s. A recipient of the Wool Board Awards, the Lyrebird Award, and the David Jones Award, she was also appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1972 for her contributions to fashion.[1][2]

Early life and career

Tullo was born on 31 January 1935 in Australia. Before becoming a designer, she worked as a legal secretary in Melbourne, where she began creating clothes for herself and her friends.[3]

In the early 1960s, she opened her own studio in Melbourne. She was an early advocate for using natural fibers, especially wool, in her designs, promoting Australian wool as a premium fabric.[1]

In 1965, she was invited to collaborate with Butterick Patterns to produce patterns for home sewers as part of their Young Designers collection.[4]

She signed a contract with the Isetan department store in Japan in 1966.[5]
