holiday memory


this little treasure came about while I was holidaying over the summer. 




neglected

Over the past summer months ill have to admit I've neglected dinosaurs in tights. Being busy working full time to pay off some of my student debt left me with very little time for the fun stuff.

As i have recently just turned 22 i am keen to get up, started and settled into the swing of things...keep your eyes peeled and fingers crossed for more frequent posts from know on!!

old and new

The Decanterlights are truly one of a kind, each made from lead crystal decanters that have been hand sourced from antique markets and vintage shops by Broom and his team. Hung together in clusters at Coquine to create a warm glow amongst the eclectic surroundings, the Decanterlights have already created such a stir that Broom has decided to build on the concept to develop a collection that will soon be available to purchase in either clear crystal or with a contemporary polished gold finish.




I have increasingly become a fan of all things old, whether it be clothes, decoration, or interiors.
You cannot question the true beauty of something with a story to tell and had stood the test of time, these things have character something which todays new and mass produced clones cannot compete with.


The use of these sourced items show how well adding these touches can enhance a space massively.

product launches go one steps further

A glass of expensive champagne on a swanky rooftop bar just doesn't cut it in the competitive world of product launches, which are all vying for VIP attendees and press coverage. 

Chanel decided to think outside of the square for the launch of the brand's new perfume, ‘Eau première,’ staging the event at a private Parisian apartment. Chanel recruited acclaimed set, window and interior designer 
Jean-Marc Gady to create an experiential event for guests, a "scenography" tasked with bringing the new fragrance and the heritage of the brand to life. Gady has created spaces for the likes of Louis Vuitton, Moet & Chandon and Apple.

inspiration starting points

The new Gareth Pugh flagship store in Hong Kong is prime example of the use of contrasts, light and dark feature strongly along with matt and shiny. 
Although not necessarily the most original themes to follow the reflections in materials create confusion and an endless vortex of moving images.


 "Iwan Halstead, Creative Director of daytrip says “early inspiration for the shop came from conversations with Gareth about ‘Witches of Eastwick’ and his work with Showstudio. I showed him a Hype William’s directed Busta Rhymes video and some materials and we felt we had a strong concept that echoed his brand ideology.”"


This is where my interest lies for this store, and maybe controvesially proves more interesting than the overall outcome itself
