Bracelets with memories

Hey Audrey!

I love it when the things that I wear remind me of the people that I love. Like my favourite bracelets which I like to wear all at once. The colour woven one was a gift from my friend Christine, who is now living far way in Tanzania, the wooden painted one (with gold paint) was a gift form Di and Greg, which they bought in St Petersburg. The wooden one I bought on a lovely weekend away with my friend Ria in the Natal Midlands. They were made by John and Andrew Early, who make beautiful wooden vessels and furniture.

'Ons Plek' safe space

Hey Audrey!

I am so excited to just have launched my new social design company SideBySide. I look forward to doing work with clients that are making a change in the world. You can read all about our first project for Ons Plek Projects on the SideBySide blog.

Beautiful boots

Hey Audrey!

These are promotional postcards I designed for custom footwear designer Astrid of Bohéme. I told you a few posts ago how much we enjoyed the photoshoot, remember? I wanted to add a lace element to emphasize the burlesque idea, and did some ink illustrations for this, but I think the real lace overlays looked better in the end.

Hello Skin

Hey Audrey!

I recently worked on a packaging design for a skin care range aimed at teenagers for the cool people at Engage Brandcraft. One of my ideas was to use teen faces peeking out from under a fringe, the other was copy driven: I looked at phrases or sayings teens are currently using and tried to link it to the nature of the product. I had fun!

Audrey gifts for a stylish coffee break

Hey Audrey!

I love it when people give me Audrey-inspired gifts. Like this Kate Spade mug. Actually the illustration on the beautiful box is based on Breakfast at Tiffany's. And the tin, in which I shall keep my coffee from now on. Thanks lovely friends!

Natalie does Audrey

Hey Audrey!

This took a while, but I just discovered this Harpers Bazaar cover from November 2007. Natalie Portman is on the cover, in the Givenchy evening gown you wore in the opening scene of Breakfast at Tiffany's. You will be happy to know that this very gown was auctioned of for £ 467 200 at a Christies auction, and that the proceeds went to the City of Joy Aid Charity in Calcutta.

Beautiful Bohéme

Hey Audrey!

Astrid and I had so much fun shooting her winter range of beautiful pumps and boots today. Astrid organized with a friend to use her sumptious bedroom, and was such a natural and sensual model for her own shoes. These pictures are a sneak preview, but you can soon see her stunning designs on the Bohéme website.
