WHAT INSPIRES US...

 Our clients are constantly asking us to come up with new ideas, unique concepts and that ultimate venue that has yet to be used by anyone else  – and all on a budget, of course! Sometimes these budgets can be challenging and we have to figure out the most cost effective solutions, and other times we can have a little fun. But at the end of the day we find our inspirations in much the same way.

Here are some of the things that inspire us:

FASHION – the runway, in particular Paris Fashion Week, is an endless source of inspiration. The fabric, the texture, the colours and then the parties of the luxury fashion houses – think Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Valentino – they’re epic, they’re groundbreaking and they’re beautiful.

TRAVEL – today we are lucky enough to have travel at our fingertips. We can jump in the car, on a plane and get to places that used to take days, weeks or months in a matter of moments.  Traveling is the best time to immerse yourself into other cultures and expose yourself to new trends and objects that you can’t wait to incorporate into your next project.

RELATIONSHIPS – by exposing ourselves to a range of talented and exciting individuals, we allow ourselves to see things from a different point of view and to learn new ideas, often in new environments. This is also the case when working with new client. More often than not, they will come with an idea that opens up a whole new way of thinking about the project at hand.

MOVIES – the world of film is a magical place and often provides me with my greatest source of inspiration. I love nothing more than watching a visual feast of images and events come together in a great movie. Some of my favourite films for inspiration have been Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, Tim Burtons’ Alice in Wonderland and Baz Lurham’s 

Romeo + Juliet.

BLOGS – the Internet and particularly the explosion of blogs over the past few years have opened up a whole new world of inspiration. Whether their focus be on design, food, entertainment or travel they continue to inspire us daily.

There are days where you just can’t muster up any form of inspiration, even after drawing on the elements we’ve listed above.  Our advice? Just keep at it!  Somehow, in the end it all comes together resulting in an incredible sense of achievement.
