Hi, my name is Sarah Cohen. I want to start an article on the Australian designer Christopher Hanlon. Below is my seed contribution:

Christopher Hanlon is an Australian born fashion designer who pioneered the use of men's organic cosmetics in the late 1990's. The company came to prominence by using Australian indigenous plant extracts in recyclable aluminum canisters and plastic bottles constructed from post-consumer waste. The brand was known for sourcing raw materials from Australian farmers and local market gardens. It began from a market stall at Sydney's legendary Paddington Markets (which was the genesis for other Australian brands including Dinosaur Designs, Lisa Ho and Leona Edminston) along Oxford street. Christopher Hanlon was an adolescent who adopted viral marketing methods. In 2003 the Christopher Hanlon company became an Australian tourist attraction (1).

Today the company exports it's products to Russia, Hong Kong and Taiwan (2). Christopher Hanlon is Australia's first perfumer (3).
