I've long been a fan of New Zealand fashion designer Trelise Cooper....her collections are always exciting, a little boho & most of all full of sumptuous, rich colour! She has just released her first line of fabrics for interiors & the range is fabulous. Each design a little jewel all on its own, what possibilities they present.
Life in the little village of Stirling in the hills above Adelaide in South Australia is just about as good as it gets! Enjoying a cool climate and 'hill-station' feel, Stirling is well-known for its 19th-century stone villas set on large grounds dense with roses, camellias, rhododendrons and huge old Oaks. With 3 sons, 3 grandchildren & my work in a scientific business dominated by yes, more men, The Laurel Hedge was born out of my sheer desperation for something the boys just don't get & never will!
Hi Millie,
ReplyDeleteI too love Trelise Cooper's clothes and she is one of the nicest people you could meet. I have quite a few pieces of her clothing.
We went to a Fashion show of hers and it was colourful and pretty as you can imagine.
Happy week
Hugs

Millie, the fabrics are beautiful. Sumptuous! and look like they wouldn't look out of place in a dress too. The Trelise Cooper clothes are equally beautiful.

That looks lovely, she is a very talented lady - I have a few of her pieces I find that some you just love other pieces I think 'what was she thinking?'. ps you must get The International out on DVD if you have not seen it. It is LOCO (Lots Of Clive Owen). xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow! Those fabrics are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love that turquoise coat and dress ... in keeping with my duck-egg mood.
Looks gorgeous! I just love her style! Tracey xx
ReplyDeleteDevine. Absolutely devine.
ReplyDeleteHi Millie,
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Trelise Cooper. The new line of fabrics look devine. I could wrap myself in all that fabric!! Maybe I might be lucky one day and own something she has made.
Have a great day today.

Trelise is a winner whatever she turns her hand to. Her venture into childrens wear has been a huge success, and now the stunning fabrics. She has a little shop across from her main store in Auckland called Pretty Things, and here you can find lovely fabrics ribbons, lace, buttons etc... in case you want to have a go at making your own clothes. Personally, I'm not tempted, not when across the road its all waiting for you to step into and be transported to dress heaven.
ReplyDeleteLovely....
ReplyDeleteBut most importantly- how do I get my hair to look like the models?!!;)

Will I really make you envious if I let slip that I've just picked a few things for myself for next winter from the sample collection? The downside is that you can't try anything on unless you're a minute size 6, but the gamble is worth it!! Oh there is a perk to my job after all!
ReplyDeletemillie,
