In Part 2 of this episode of The Edit with Deborah Hutton, Elle Lovelock gets into the personal stories and design details that didn’t make it into Part 1 – and there are plenty of both.
Deb shares the story behind two significant skin cancer surgeries and how a viral post and a hat company email led to the creation of Canopy Bay, her sun protection hat range.
She also reflects on a career that took her from modeling at 16, through 14 years as the face of Qantas and a dance with John Travolta, to editing magazines and hosting some of Australia’s biggest TV shows.
And then it’s back to the build, and the design decisions that are making her South Coast home unlike anything she’s done before.
This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation with Deborah Hutton.
“I think once you’ve experienced something, it’s very hard to go back and try and recreate something… you need to move on. You need to evolve into something.”
Deborah Hutton

“You spend your life in renders… The architects have got this incredible platform… I send them a photograph, and they go into the renders. So you start seeing it all come together.”
