Australian Design: Miso for Gorman

Until fairly recently, Australian label Gorman was predominantly a fashion and accessories brand, specialising in bright and bold prints, tunic frocks and clogs. I’ve been a long-time fan of Melbourne-based fashion designer Lisa Gorman’s inimitable style, ever since she sold her fledgling label at some of Melbourne’s independent boutiques in the late 1990s.

Since then, the brand has developed into a great ambassador for Australian design, with a series of stand-alone boutiques across Australia and New Zealand.
Gorman also shown great foresight and initiative over the years, pairing up with other Australian designers and creatives, like the clever summer collaboration with Rachel Castle. The most exciting development, however, is the establishment of a permanent homewares collection called Home Time.
Gorman's latest collaboration is with Melbourne artist Stanislava Pinchuk, also known as Miso, and the ethereal homewares collection arrived in stores and online today.
A scattering of stars as tiny pinpricks of light feature across the line-up of bed linen, throw cushions and rugs in an ethereal palette of muted greys, musk and white, with the addition of on-trend metallic foils and glitter.
The star product, however, is a very limited run of 20 delicate porcelain candle domes, made in collaboration with Connie Lichti, which feature hand-drilled holes that make up a constellation of stars.
