STREET STYLING COMPETITION

admin — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 12:56:01 +0000

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….

Babyology and the great Etsy

The lovable Mandi from Babyology, has listed her favourite homegrown designers on the Esty blog.
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

admin — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:07:32 +0000

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.

Summer Time

admin — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 01:19:58 +0000

With the sun beating down on days that seem to last forever, finding a shady spot by the water with your friends, make summer time truly magical and memorable. Especially when you have the cares of a pre-schooler… life is all about having fun with your mates.
This is what happened with my latest photo shoot for my next range “Aloha Hollywood”. Which will hit the shops next summer 2010/2011.
A friend of mine has this amazing little oasis in the inner suburbs of Melbourne. A leafy backyard with a pool, chooks roaming around peeking at the grass and a fifties style brick house with an amazing black Cadillac parked in the drive (I had died and gone to heaven the first time I dropped into Geoff’s house – it’s my kinda place).
How could I not use it in one of my photo shoots – A big thanks to Julie and Geoff for the location, to my beautiful little models (plus the ring-ins who saved the day) and to Narelle for the ace photos….
Enjoy the sneak peak of next summer.
