checked out the easton pearson review at the gallery of modern art last night. came away totally inspired to put more energy into my design process and to look for sources of inspiration far away from home, taking in a more global and historical viewpoint.

the easton pearson designers – lydia and pam – find inspiration in the cross-fertilisation of cultures… what happens when african cultures adopt european religion and traditions, and vice versa. they mix ethnic prints with edwardian and ecclesiastical blouses, and embellish batik with sequins and beads sourced from all over the globe. amazing how a piece of clothing can fill you with such wonder and amazement! even my dad was impressed.
