Photo: AFP When she was a schoolgirl growing up in Lindfield, Catherine Martin got a job as an usherette at the Roseville theatre. Walking up and down the aisles with a torch, she used to dream about Hollywood. Yesterday Martin was clutching an Oscar in each hand, wearing a dress by her dear friend Collette Dinnigan and facing an audience that included Hollywood's finest. She had been rewarded for costume design, shared with Angus Strathie, and for art direction, shared with Brigitte Broch. "It's an extraordinary moment, really thrilling," she said. Martin dedicated both awards to her husband, the director of Moulin Rouge, Baz Luhrmann, whom she met at NIDA. The couple also worked together on Strictly Ballroom and Romeo + Juliet. "He made this possible," Martin said. "He's such a generous person. He has absolutely extraordinary ideas, and he convinces you to go along with him, and without him I wouldn't be doing this. I wouldn't be here, and that's why I dedicated the awards to him."");document.write(" advertisement"); // --> Martin studied visual arts at Sydney College of the Arts,and pattern cutting at EastSydney technical college. She completed her education at NIDA. After winning her first Oscar, she spoke directly to him in the audience, saying: "You come up with ideas that even I think are crazy. But you've taught me to live the dream. Thank you for letting me come on this journey. This is for you." After the second, she said the same: "This is your Oscar, Baz." In Sydney, Martin's former teacher at NIDA, Peter Cooke, was crowing good-naturedly about "putting them together [Luhrmann and Martin]". "He came to me and said, 'I need a designer', and I said, 'You need Catherine Martin', because she was so fabulously literate, and inspirational. She used colour and imagery and form in a really remarkable way." Mr Cooke had no doubt that Martin would win, "because it was the standout work. She and Angus were in the same year. There is a theatrical vulgarity about them that is irresistible. There is brashness that audiences adore." After the awards Martin and Luhrmann were guests at the official Governor's Ball, and then at Elton John's Oscars party.

Catherine Martin (designer)
Life and career.
Martin was born in Lindfield, New South Wales, to a French mother and an Australian father, both academics who met at the Sorbonne. She has one brother. As a child, Martin was fascinated by the vintage clothing parades occasionally thrown by her Australian grandmother and her church friends. She would beg her parents to take her to the Victoria and Albert Museum so she could dig through the costume section. Her mother taught her to use a sewing machine at age 6, and by age 15 she was creating her own patterns in order to make herself dresses. In an interview with Tory Burch, Martin mentioned "The Wizard of Oz" and "Gone with the Wind" as her childhood inspirations for her love of film and design. She attended North Sydney Girls High School.
