Hi! My name is Stacey, I am a Wellington based textile designer fresh from finishing my Honours degree at Massey University.

I have a love for train stations and urban spaces and consider myself in a constant battle to create order out of chaos with an inventory of straight lines and sharp angles.

So this orchid. I can’t stop thinking about it. And with good reason too it seems. This orchid is one of my family heirlooms. Possibly one of my only family heirlooms. It’s a living, breathing heirloom, which I think makes it so special. This heirloom can’t be put in a box and forgotten about for a generation. We have to love and look after it everyday. But the best thing about this heirloom is that we all get to have it. All my aunts and uncles have a clipping of the original plant. No fighting over who gets it and no jealousy. One day I’ll have my own clipping of this plant, and if I stay in New Zealand and raise a family here my children will have a clipping of this plant. How special is that?

I’m all about matching and collections at the moment. I love the idea of cross media inspirations. So fantastic!

Chandon’s limited-edition sparkling wine bottle design, inspired by the “The Great All-American Summer”, and the romper Alice + Olivia designed to go with it. Pretty cute.
