JOURNAL

Christmas is just around the corner (we can't believe it either)! We want the end of this year to be all about spreading joy, and appreciating one another. Here is our simple gift guide to help you do just that!

Paradise can mean many different things for different people. For some it means a tropical vacation somewhere new and exotic. For others, a holiday away at the family batch. Paradise can even be as simple as settling in on a Sunday with a cup of tea and a good book...

When starting to plan a season, getting inspiration is key. In this journal entry, Annabelle takes us through her inspiration process when she was planning the new collection 'Just Past Paradise'.

Reading is something that always helps to keep me sane. It can be great to help us understand more about the world and people around us, or to escape them entirely! Personally I’m a big fan of escapism…

Grace shares her favourite lockdown reads (and listens) for you all to enjoy.

Anna is a long-time friend of Wilson Trollope. We recently visited Anna’s Textile Therapy Exhibition, which happened right here in Wellington, and we were blown away by her latest collection of work. We spoke to Anna earlier this month about her inspiration, the exhibition and the future of textile therapy.

There were so many inspiring moments from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics! What an incredible two weeks of strength and determination from world-class athletes. They have given us so much hope and joy. This has been a much needed tonic for viewers around the world. We’ve gathered our 10 top most inspiring moments for us all to reminisce…

New Zealand-born artist Frances Hodgkins is the inspiration for our current season, Seven & Five. We are so inspired by her heartedness and determination. Click here to read about the life of this empowering woman.

The cooler season is well and truly upon us and we have new artworks in-store to celebrate Seven & Five, the A/W season. This is talented Claire Redford's second season as our Resident Artist and we couldn't be more excited to welcome her beautiful new works in-store. I sat down with her to chat Seven & Five, her new works and what is inspiring her most right now.

As we remember those who fought bravely for the allies in WWI, we must also remember the New Zealand and Australian women as part of the ANZAC narrative. Read below for a few of the women whose roles in in WWI were often left unrecognised and whom we are inspired by. 

I’m so inspired by Frances Hodgkins. I love the way that she took on the world, knew her own mind and was open to all possibilities. She was a trailblazer that explored, experimented and forged her own path. When I think of her, I always come back to these thoughts and feel inspired by this empowered woman.
