It all started out with 2
huge Russian shoulder scarfs my mom owned. One in black and the other in white
printed with the most colourful vibrant flowers. I remember spending hours in
front of the mirror, wrapping and draping one or both of them around me. The
love for colours, dazzling, cheerful, riotous, vibrant stuck with me as did my
love for and understanding of the need to accessorize oneself. My starting
point is a beautiful 100% Wool felt, made in New Zealand from which I create
accessories like for example makeup bags and earrings.
My label is still young, many
ideas yet to be formulated but what I have was born out of a strong desire to
create something more personal then a high street shop item and it's formulated
colour and design. That's also a reason for me to offer brooch DIY kits. Because
it's fun and extremely satisfying to wear something of your own making.
What can people expect to see from you on the day? Everything I will present will be
fresh of the press.
Do you have any future plans for your work, could
you describe them? At the
moment I very much tied up with getting my label off the ground. But in the
future I would like to introduce other materials into my work. I particularly
like felt combined with leather. My ultimate goal is to combine my whimsical
side with the more practical to truly create good design which not only pleases
the eye but also makes daily life a bit easier.
