Despite having no background in the industry, the venture proved to be a huge success and was the beginning of the White Label Boutique brand that's being worn by the likes of the Kardashian sisters, Sofia Richie, Hailey Baldwin and Emily Ratajkowski.
'I was working a full time job so I had no idea that it was going to be as big as it is now or be recognised by a lot of people I meet,' Moore told Daily Mail Australia.
She said the main secret behind the label's success has been social media.
'I didn't have any money when I started the business so if we weren't using Instagram I don't think it would have grown as big as it has,' she said.
