Easton Pearson

Pamela Easton & Lydia Pearson

Pamela & Lydia are the Brisbane based designers and owners of Easton Pearson! Brisbane sure has some design talent! Here is a little info and pictures from their SS 10/11 collection that I got off their website www.eastonpearson.com 
Their collection is huge so if you want to see more I suggest you go have a browse! 
The design Partnership and Business between Lydia and Pamela first commenced March 1989 and Easton Pearson was first shown in Paris in 1998. The brand is in over a 100 stores worldwide and is available in 24 countries. 


 "Our way of working is inseparable from our design ethos. We work in partnership through all passages of our process: planning, designing, finishing, traveling and selling. Personal connections are at the heart of our process and are essential to the way we work. We know our customers, our buyers and our store owners. We find ourselves often designing for people we know and admire. Equally essential to our working method is our approach to fabric. We work in Australia on the actual production of garments. In practical terms, we design three ranges a year: Spring/Summer, Cruise and Autumn/Winter."



"Our interests are specific and eclectic we design for people who are drawn to similar ways of thinking. We design for women who are quite possibly interested in art as much as fashion, who are interested in details and in visual plays. We want women to take our garments and make them their own. We don’t stand away from trends but we interpret these trends a little differently, a little idiosyncratically, a little privately based on our own interests. The sensuality of fabric against skin is important to us. We mainly use natural fibres, we are attentive to how the textures feel, how the seams are finished, how the fasteners might be touched. We believe in intimate attention to all aspects of the making process."


"Our references are drawn from varied terrain: from Indian, African and European sources, from historical predecessors, from vintage clothes, from museums, archives and films, from books and our own travels with our families. The possibilities offered by specific textile techniques clearly influence us in terms of what might be adapted into clothing. Simultaneously, our visual references continue to wander."


Love it! Easton Pearson will be showcasing their designs at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane on the 7th of August at 7.30pm in the Mercedes-Benz Group Show 2. Unfortunately the tickets are sold out for this group show.
Stay fabulous!
