Tracey Neuls

December 15, 2008

I had a very pleasurable job earlier this year, organising sponsorship for a play called ‘Quality’ by award winning Canadian writer Elaine Avila. The play was both set and performed to its audience in Tracey Neuls designer shoe shop TN29 on Marylebone Lane, during London Fashion Week 08. (It would be rude not to thank our supporters, 108 Marylebone Lane, Tatty Divine, Lancome and Fused Magazine)

As a result I discovered the amazing shoe design and cool marketing of Canadian designer, Tracey Neuls. Her shop is absolutely beautiful, her unique collection of shoes and boots hang from the ceiling as sculptural and tactile forms. She frequently partners and collaborates with visual artists and the fabulous result of her collaboration with Boo Risten (who I also love!) hangs in the shop.

Perfect for all occasions, including striding to the office, Neuls shoe designs are classic and incredibly well made with an arty tweak.

Sangeun Kim

December 9, 2008

I recently attended Brilliantly Birmingham, a showcase of established and up and coming jewellery makers. The Flux exhibition is always one of my favourites and is usually hosted by Birmingham City University School of Jewellery. Amongst the fabulous works by Sally Collins and adventurous soul Karen Bartlet I discovered another little gem, Sangeun Kim.

Sangeun’s collection is inspired by architectural structures and in particular, the negative and unused spaces which surround them. Held in place by a magnetic back plate, the broaches jut out as bold and brave statement pieces.

Her full collection consists of geometric spatial neck pieces and brooches in precious metals with a hint of elegant enamel. From £60.

You can view and purchase the collection at Open Studios at Design Space, Unit 2, 25-33 Hylton Street, Birmingham, B18 6HJ

13th December – 20th December, 10am – 4pm

Definitive 1

December 3, 2008

It may seem a little bias as they are my very close friends, but I really love Definitive 1’s stylish contemporary edge, choice of materials and finish. Ive chosen my bedroom furniture 2 X Mies and 1 X Apt as my dressing table from one of their collections. I’m sure my boyfriend wont mind.

Each night before I sleep I close my eyes and picture it in the room, cant wait! (I’m saving!)
