COME ON SPRING

September 5, 2010 1 Comment

Come on spring….. do your thing…. whats your story?

It’s trying really hard to become spring, then it slips back to rainy greyness.
But the blossoms are winning, the trees are shooting beautiful green buds and everyones moods seem to be lifting.
Enjoy the changing of the season everyone and enjoy this blast back to the late 90’s…… Love this song, not so keen on the satin red shirt!

STREET STYLING COMPETITION

June 7, 2010 Leave a comment

I love seeing little ensembles of Knuffle wear, mixed and matched with other labels, on random children at the park or down the street. It’s even better when the 4 year old wearing it has managed to put it together themself.
For the rest of June we’re running a competition for the best street styling in Knuffle Kid clothes. All you need to do is upload your photo to the Knuffle Kid Facebook fan page. A few will be selected to feature in the image gallery on the Knuffle Kid homepage in July, and those selected will also receive a long sleeve tee from the current winter range.
Get posting photos people….

What a treat it is, to be placed along side some truely inspiring designers and brands. A big thanks to Babyology for showcasing local designers.

“When I became a mum, my style focus changed from finding things for myself to sourcing fabulous finds for my girls. I knew there were designers in Australia creating unique toys, children’s furniture and clothing, but I couldn’t find one place that brought it all together. So I created Babyology. Every day we find something new to love and here are our current picks from our favourite homegrown designers.”

ALOHA POSTCARD

aloha post card

I have had this post card floating about my studio for years – it has helped me daydream my way into an oasis many a time.

To me it shows how accessible art has become. When I was a uni student, days were filled with learning about amazing artisan’s of the world and of history, and my nights were filled with live band venues that had sticky carpet and free postcards – I would gather as many of these free pieces of art as I could and blu tac them to the crumbling walls of my rental.

I now draw inspiration from the multitude of images I’ve collected over the years, it helps me in starting the design process that eventually evolves into a new range.
