New Designs Will Trickle Through And We Hope You Will Enjoy Their Playfulness
I adore making new designs and playing with ideas, referencing art I love, merging things that have had an impact on me. And the reward comes in the form of cloth in your hand. This week we have taken delivery of new designs and more are coming over the course of September. We have also gone where we haven’t gone before, 140cm silk and cashmere blend squares. I am not sure I would ever use one myself, perhaps on my bed, maybe, but I just wanted to see our artworks coming to life in a different product. You may love them, maybe there are too much for you, maybe you find it a little too cheeky, no matter, eventually we will out something in front of you that will resonate, and we are open to hearing from you and your thoughts. But one thing will remain a thread, we will probably refrain from doing motifs and traditional designs and patterns, it’s not our bag, and we would prefer if you want that, to find those traditional houses still offering the same same. There’s nothing wrong with it, it works, sometimes a simple motif works beautifully for an ensemble, but our competitors do it well enough and I am not sure we could contribute in that realm with great significance.
The Winner Of The Inaugural Scarf Competition - Mr. Kieran Davis
As I said on my Instagram handle, we do like to deliver. The competition is real, the results are real. Kieran and his winning design are now together at last. I was so happy to get this photo from him, he won it with his design Australia, Where Everything Wants To Kill You - a magnificent result from a talented man. And, he got his 1000 AUD wired to his account. Kieran makes art anyway, you can see it on his Instagram handle, so what's to lose with a submission? And now he can wear his art and tell the story over dinner, well, you see, I entered this competition from a guy I get my bow ties from and ....
Entries close September 1st.
The Latest Submission - Australia - By Annie Pope
This competition is starting to become bigger than I expected and I am extremely amazed by all that talent that is out there. Annie showed me her sketch which is on our Instagram handle @lenoeudpapillon and you can then see how it evolved.
