Paper Wings: Creative, Imaginative, Inspired Design

One of my favourite clothing labels for kids is Australia’s Paper Wings – www.paperwings.com.au.
Why?
Paper Wings, match the beauty, uniqueness and natural creativity of children with unbridled exuberance, and quiet detail. Each garment is at once precious and practical. There is love in these clothes, and it shows.
The pedigree of seasoned designers, couple Jason Gibaud and Michelle Fallon — who have worked on films including Moulin Rouge, Star Wars and Peter Pan – Paper Wings transcends fashion with whimsical designs that wear brilliantly. I know this because my children wear Paper Wings clothing regularly, and it handles tree-climbing, and nature-walking (and looks extraordinarily beautiful in these settings!) just as well as the party scene, and washes up to perfection.
So what inspires these exceptionally creative pieces? Michelle and Jason explain:
“Our focus is on enhancing the lives of children by creating products that positively influence the way they look, feel, play, and experience their environment. All pieces are designed to be ‘every day favourites’ – lovingly worn out rather than outgrown.
Our design influences are eclectic, with strong links to historical shapes, traditional crafts, and to both vintage and contemporary graphics.
The breathtaking rural setting of our design studio in Northern New South Wales, is a great source of inspiration. We want to celebrate the freedom of being children, looking like children and – most importantly – feeling like children.”
Bravo to that!
