New pieces from Akiko Hirai are available in-store and online at Wild Life!
London-based Akiko Hirai practices traditional ceramic making in untraditional ways. Her vessels echo the functions of workware while maintaining a shifting balance between primality and delicacy. This balance is best exemplified by her Kohiki ceramics. This technique, modeled after Korean Yi Dynasty Punch’ng wares, utilizes iron-rich clay covered with a white slip and then a translucent glaze. The end result is a finished ceramic with an organic and deeply satisfying surface flecked with white and brown nebulaic patterns.

New pieces from Uma Wang are available in-store and online at Workshop!
With this collection, Uma Wang dabbles in a slightly muted palette for fall while keeping a keen eye on winter to come. Ebbing blues and ochres meet with rich red tones and a touch of gold. Her fabrics swim between silks, soft knits and the structure of cut and sewn. Of particular note is the inclusion of a luxe, oversized jacket with shimmering jacquard details that speaks of classically feminine motifs paired with a modern tailoring.
New pillows created with antique and vintage textiles are now available at Wild Life!
The Baloch people are those who live mainly on the southeastern-most edge of the Iranian Plateau. Their hand-embroidered textiles traditionally served multiple uses that benefit the community, such as the Balisht – which could act as a bag for storing grain or a comfortable cushion. A distinct charm resonates from these vintage fabrics, in both their methodology and their detail. Delicate fringes offset angular and geometric patterning. Tassels and knots add an extra layer of tactile interest. The pleasant repeating patterns of their embroidery belie an incredible intricacy when viewed closely. While it is rare to see blue and green in Baloch textiles, here we find them alongside the orange and raisin hues of their traditional style.
Avant Toi has always been adept at bridging the gap between contemporary and classical. In some designs, distressed edges add a carefree, urban flair and in others, felted floral details deliver a feeling of delicacy. The plush tactility and vivid color capture the true power of Italian knitwear– evocative, personal yet full of emotion. This Avant Toi new arrivals collection includes sweaters in colors of pavone, husky, and smeraldo.
New pieces from Ümit Ünal are available in-store and online at Workshop!
Ümit Ünal’s signature monochromatic palette is accented by rich earth tones for fall. Behind his designs is a sense of balance: urban and rural inspiration, feminine and masculine details, distressed and polished textures. In Ümit’s pieces we discover unexpected stitching handiwork around pockets and lapels alongside his signature crumpling of fabrics. All these simple and disparate elements come together in layers of washed cotton, merino and silk. His collection has a natural sensibility that is subtly extraordinary.
This season, Manoogian’s work found a home within the penthouse of the Greenwich Hotel. Designed by Axel Vervoordt, this particular space within the hotel boasts plastered walls and earthy wooden plank floors. Throughout the photography produced for this season, it is hard to tell where a sweater begins and ends, as shades of ecru, taupe and charcoal are enveloped by the dark and cozy ambiance.
Lauren Manoogian embraces a mindful approach to design. Each season, she creates new pieces with nothing less than graceful persistence. Limited only by natural textile choices and a signature monochromatic color palette, Manoogian has proven time and time again that although these are boundaries she sets herself, they do not stifle her creativity. Rather than becoming a hindrance, they have allowed her to explore new methods of draping and structure, which are informed entirely by fabric composition. Highlighted through her work is a deeply personal knowledge and appreciation for textiles and their continual development. It is through this solid foundation that Lauren Manoogian is able to foster a creative space built upon a dedication to sustainable and sincerely handcrafted production practice.
“There is a beauty to nature, we cannot control everything about it.”
Lauren Manoogian
Lauren Manoogian’s approach to fashion design aligns significantly with the aesthetic and principles of Axel Vervoordt. Both creators are led by material and texture, fascinated by the concept of balancing opposing qualities. According to Vervoordt, the best way to inhabit a space is by surrounding oneself with architecture, furniture and art that is rich in the honesty of their material and purity of their intent. A home should be an expression of your soul, representing the way you want to live and the ideals that define your tastes. There is a strong emphasis in his work on the importance of time and the inherent beauty of things.
In this way, their work was brought together to create photography for Manoogian’s FW20 Collection that strengthen one another. There is an organic austerity that the space helps define in Lauren Manoogian’s collection, and a tactile warmth that her work invites into the penthouse. The knitwear she has produced this season is sumptuous as it plays with silhouette and layering, while remaining timeless in its construction. From the weft of a scarf to the plush knit of a sweater it is evident that this focus on material only emphasizes the creative genius behind Lauren Manoogian.
Over the course of one hundred years, Stamperia Bertozzi has flourished at the hands of three generations, and solidified the foundation of their family legacy. Exquisite in its subtle opulence, each piece they create is fused with rustic traditionalism. Their products are a testament to meticulous handmade luxury, steeped in history, skillful artisanship and sustainable practice that is sure to enchant many for years to come.
The Stamperia Bertozzi legacy began with Luigi Bertozzi. Originally a cabinet maker, Luigi discovered his innate artistic talent and used his wood carving skills to chisel traditional motifs into hard pear wood blocks. Opening his business in 1920, he began creating hand printed designs on help linens for bridal trousseaus. Stamperia Bertozzi quickly became known for the revitalization of traditional designs and their unique color. The recipes for Bertozzi’s striking colors are family heirlooms, one of their best kept secrets that are impossible to replicate. This unfailing quality in color has remained one of Bertozzi’s most important aspects of production.
Pier Paolo, Luigi’s son, took over his father’s business in the 1960’s. His organization streamlined the making of their goods, added trained and specialized personnel, which helped to clear the way for research and design within the company.
Today, Gianluigi Bertozzi, son of Pier Paolo, operates the stamperia as a third generation owner. Gianlugi is an architect and artist who proudly followed family tradition while implementing innovative ideas in design and materials. His technical inventions have propelled the family business into the global market, allowing for an expansion into printing on new materials with new motifs.
For a century now, Bertozzi has curated an archive of over 1,000 motifs that can be used in endless combinations to suit any style. From traditional to classic and contemporary, each design is painstakingly hand-chiseled by the skilled artisans at the stamperia. The handmade process inherent in their workflow is deeply personal has been integral to every step since day one. Each item produced in the workroom is created with the gusto and personality of the individual artisan. Every motif is transferred manually, and because of this, when holding a finished item from Stamperia Bertozzi, the spirit is apparent.
“Every time the hammer slowly hits the stamp, not only is the image imprinted but so is our story.”
Gianluigi (Gigi) Bertozzi
Because of their dedication to zero waste practices, family tradition, and handmade excellence, we are excited to celebrate their hundredth anniversary this year, and congratulate them on their work for many decades to come.
Peter Speliopoulos is a multidisciplinary artist with abilities built upon his background as a fashion designer, creative director, and costume designer for opera and dance. In 2011 during a Greek holiday Speliopoulos, who was already a collector of antique and contemporary ceramics, began his journey into this craft through lessons with local potter and friend, Ritsa Eliou. Since then, he’s discovered a natural affinity with clay and a newfound passion.
Speliopoulos acquired and restored a house on the Greek island of Patmos in the early 2000’s. This allowed him to live and grow with much of the folk art he admired for years. This connection and influence can be seen in his work through his desire to convey a balance between the primitive and contemporary.
A unique island in the Dodecanese, Patmos has seen many cultural influences over the years. Once home to wealthy sea captains of the 18th and 19th centuries, it was also at the center of the crossroads for trade routes in Egypt, Turkey and the Levant. Because of this, homes along the Mediterranean shore for centuries have been decorated with layers of eclectic textiles, ceramics and furniture collected from across the globe. Treasures from local Greek islands sit alongside these belongings, showcasing strong traditions in embroidery, weaving and clay. Collections of pieces new and old are stitched together, layering ancient cultures to create global connections.
Embedded within the cloths are inherited family traditions, cultural superstitions, the status of dowries presented and passed down, personal histories…
Peter Speliopolous
During his time spent in Patmos and his basement studio in New York, Speliopoulos has continued to further his abilities. Encased in every motion, brush stroke, and texture are the experiences of others throughout history that have come to fruition through his sensibilities. Many of his antiquity-inspired ceramics are layered with a distinct tactile nature, reminiscent of traditional basket-weaving techniques. Intentional or not, it is easy to see how his roots formed in Greece and his passion for artwork around the globe have culminated to create the expressive ceramics that enchant all who encounter them.
Lainey Keogh’s knitwear is extraordinary in every facet. From concept to color to execution, her pieces excel in both form and function. In this way, her Embroidered Cardigan in Dark Navy is a piece for the ages. Sumptuously knit and lovingly embroidered, the silhouette and detailing of this piece make it deeply classic. The color is moody and reserved, allowing the beauty of the intricate motifs to dance across its surface like autumn leaves in a breeze.
“We draw most of our colour inspiration from nature, and the rainbow body of light. We have over the years developed a huge colour library of cashmere yarns. Some of which we have drawn from the great cashmere mills and others we have created with their laboratories where we have sent all kinds of colour references including blooming plants from my mum’s garden.”
Lainey Keogh
The first small delivery of PÉRO clothing arrived today. This PÉRO collection will feature flowers of course. But expect some darker shades for fall: blue and grey with highlights of orange, or purple with blue/orange vintage details. Fun plaids and jackets remenicent of Coco Chanel also dot the collection.
As the weather heats up through spring and into late summer, we search for energetic colors that inspire confidence and exhilaration. Fuchsia, a color that is rich in purple and pink tones, showcases self-assurance while maintaining a lighthearted essence.
Fuchsia is closely related to magenta but remains closer to purple on the color spectrum. Although it can be seen as an unconventional color, it is also friendly and welcoming with strong connections to intuitive thinking.
Gilda Midani creates clothing that is as artful as it is comfortable. With each collection, she produces superbly wearable pieces that are filled with playful energy. Flowing, organic silhouettes are enhanced by radiant color combinations and wild splashes of color. Through Gilda’s use of fuschia, we are reminded of warm days spent along the coast in the glow of a sunset.
Uma Wang broke boundaries when she became one of the first Asian fashion designers to set foot on the international fashion stage. When she began her journey in 2005, she faced a dilemma in naming her brand, as she feared her Asian last name would limit her clientele. A few years later she felt secure enough to rename her label, Uma Wang. Since then, her name has become synonymous with undeniable skill and bold collections that radiate global originality.
Over the course of 10 years she has collaborated with 15 boutiques across China, and operated in over 80 retail outlets around the world. Her clientele varies vastly in age, boasting loyal and successful entrepreneurs who operate in multiple creative circles that range from cinema to dance, as well as art.
Wang’s most recent collection SS20, was influenced by Pompeii. She chose not to ruminate on disaster, but how a city once full of life becomes frozen in time. When asked about what inspired her to express such profound concepts, she stated:
“I didn’t deliberately look for themes — most of my work reflects true emotions and feelings I’ve experienced. For example, I didn’t plan the Pompeii series on purpose. I visited the ruins during a vacation without expecting to feel the power of this experience. When I saw a big family’s ruined all in Pompeii, it looked surprisingly similar to oriental architecture. The color of the wall, weathered by time, looked similar to walls from the Tang Dynasty.”
Uma Wang, Jing Daily
One of Uma Wang’s biggest strengths lies in her ability to bridge the gap between cultures. Blending western influences with ancient and modern Chinese styles sounds like a difficult task, but Wang pulls it off effortlessly. She has always utilized an astounding range of fabrics to elevate her concepts, but spending countless hours working with her teams in Italy and China is what has allowed her to do so. For SS20, she gained professional insight from the fabric factory on what material has the most similar texture to a mottled wall. In the end, the efforts of Uma Wang and her team have created a unique body of work that feels timeless, infused with mystery and a sense of exploration.
“I am Chinese and wanted to express my own traditional aesthetics — it’s neither oriental nor Western by nature but resembles a harmony between East and West. The world is getting smaller and I’m more confident about the innate beauty in this kind of aesthetic.”
Uma Wang, Jing Daily
Throughout the years spent pursuing creative endeavors in fashion, Wang has managed to protect her brand from over-commercialization. Even now, in spite of the disorienting changes that have impacted the fashion landscape, she has stood firmly by the principles of her brand by using fabrics economically and working with each piece to reach it’s fullest potential.
