Gillian Tennant

Found:  A new Australian Designer creating beautiful designs by hand! Her Summer 2010 collection is breathtaking!

Who: Gillian Tennant

Designer Inspiration:  ’In terms of inspiration, I guess I would say that when I come to design a new collection, I am most motivated by what I would like to wear at that moment in time and what I feel is missing from my wardrobe. Hence my designs are easy to wear and relaxed. I always aim to create pieces that will be worn over and over and that can be easily mixed with the items already existing in a customer’s wardrobe.

I love garments to have a feeling innocence and purity about them – most of my silhouettes are quite free-flowing and airy. In terms of colour, I tend to gravitate towards a washed-out palette (whites, creams, pastels etc).

I love collecting antique garments (mostly from the Victorian era) and this also inspires my collections in terms of the type of fabrics used (Swiss cotton voiles, handkerchief linens and silks) and their hand-made quality.”

So excited to now stock Gillian Tennant in the Style Milk Shop!
