Spring/Summer: Milk from a Thistle

One of my fave Australian labels has just launched a new website and their gorgeous new range. Milk From A Thistle, the creation of Sydney designer Danielle Atkinson, caught my eye last year with a floaty bird print range for SS10, and then later with a striking signature horse print collection for AW11 which I completely fell in love with. Danielle’s textile design training is beautifully applied to her bold hand and digital prints on flowing pieces. Danielle finds inspiration from second hand stores with vintage prints and children’s books, while people, places and things help create her ideas. Superbly unique and delicately individual, Milk From A Thistle is inspired by the love of design rather than fashion trends. She is also influenced by designers such as Marni, Erdem, Karen Walker, Lover, Dries Van Noten, Dianne Von Furstenberg, Chloe and Marimekko.

Danielle is a girl after my own textile designer’s heart… this is a beautifully designed range with simple yet unique pieces drawing inspiration from the love of fabric and design.

Autumn/Winter: Milk from a Thistle

I came back from holiday to a feed inbox literally bursting with hundreds of new posts. But before hyperventilating, I spotted amid the bulging feeds one of my faves - Australian brand Milk from a Thistle with their now available Autumn/Winter range. Yippee. I quickly changed tasks and skipped over to their site to calm myself down after the feed avalanche.

I found stripes [yes please], horses [my best] and flowers [so pretty] some styled with boyfriend jeans and all with a cool edginess to them: truly and delightfully restful to be sure…
