GEORG JENSEN | COLLECTION PREVIEW 2012



"Georg Jensen represents quality craftsmanship and timeless aesthetic design, from hollowware to watches, jewellery and home products."

A few weeks ago, Emily invited me to come along with her to the showing of the the new range at Georg Jensen before other media and the public. Many pieces were inspired or redesigned reproductions of archival pieces from the 1800s. It really shows how the pieces have stayed as classics through time.

The Fusion line pieces bought perhaps 10 or 20 years ago still fit together with new ones purchased. Above is a picture of an example of the Fusion pieces that make up the ring band.
I am also particularly fascinated with the Alliance range which are pieces that easily can be put on without any links or connections. For example the Alliance earrings are designed to just sit with there are no pins or clips to hold on.

This also brings me to the beautiful Vivianna Bangle Watch which wraps on the wrist perfectly yet still open. The concept behind the design was that of savoring every present and the beauty of each moment. "The face of the watch is a mirror, which reflects the present moment and returns the wearer’s focus to “now.” There are no numbers and a simple second hand. The bracelet is open-ended to show we do not need to feel bound by time."

Fun fact, you can see below there are Grape designs and these were a particular favourite of Georg Jensen's designs, as he was fascinated by the fruit.

The Living range including the plates serving canapes below, have a clean mirrored polish design, which I particularly like myself. It looks sophisticated and expensive to me.

Georg Jensen pieces are always superior in craftsmanship, with designs that have modern edge yet functionalable. A little catch phrase they use is, that I completely agree is that it's "Contemporary then, contemporary now."











CLARKS ORIGINALS LAUNCH 2012



Yep, still back logging posts I have needed to do. Here is a Clarks Originals event held at Flinders Hotel, that I went to, where they launched the new and old Clarks plus showing some of the new ranges from Hush Puppies, Julius Marlow and Volley. At first I was not so keen, as the first thing we'd associate Clarks with is school shoes.. how fun could it possibly be? However, it definitely exceeded our expectations with some colour, leather & suede. There was even a little pop up shop set up for people to buy on the night to at a discounted price! They served yummy cocktails including one which particularly raised my taste buds! A lamington cocktail!

MINI COUPE & ROADSTER LAUNCH



I have been just having a bloggers lazy period.. and haven't blogged for a long while! It's one of those things that you need to be motivated. With the addition of styling as well, it doesn't make it easy or give me extra time to balance. The next series of blog posts are going to be very.. lets say, not wordy or too detailed. Just want to load up the pictures that I have not posted up and catch you back up to what I've been up to.

Here is a launch I went to for Mini Coupe & Roadster launch , held at The Bucket List, Bondi Beach. Awesome little place next to the beach and lots of bright colours and sun!
