I am interested in the idea of enhancing everyday experience, by the use of good to look at, simple and functional objects, in my case - ceramics.

I was inspired during time living in Japan, by the beautiful simple aesthetic evident in so much of Japanese craft and design.

Kiwi without the kitsch, NZ Life & Leisure

 

It’s not very often you can say that doing the dishes brings a smile to your face. But if anything is going to keep you happy at the kitchen sink, it’s a tea towel screen-printed with an iconic Crown Lynn swan or a railway teacup. The towels, $20 each, are part of an interesting range of jewellery and homewares offered by Christchurch’s Pug Design Store, 228 Kilmore Street

A Quacksalver is a charlatan, someone who invents medicines and cures and boasts about their efficacy. These hand embroidered and embellished textile objects, purses and adornments use illustrations of Victorian advertisements for medicines and cure-alls and Victorian anatomical drawings (sourced from Gray’s and Quain’s Anatomy text books) printed onto silk.

Lolita Lempicka
Fashion houses are often named after their founding designer, but Josiane Pividal went about it differently. In 1983 Josiane and her husband Joseph, an interior designer, created their label, "Lolita Lempicka", in homage to Nabokov's novel and to the painter Tamara de Lempicka. As the fashion house took off, the couple found it simpler to change their names to Lolita and Joseph-Marie Lempicka. Lolita / Josiane was born in Bordeaux in 1954. She first learned how to sew from her mother, a trouser-maker who worked from home. In the 1970s Lolita started redesigning second-hand clothes, managing to make them look new and original. In 1984 she and her husband opened their first boutique in Paris's Marais district, and it became an instant success. Although her designs are often inspired by the 1940s, they always strike a playful balance between the modern and the nostalgic. She became famous for her exquisitely tailored suits, infusing classical Parisian styles with fresh femininity.
