TIMOROUS BEASTIES DESIGNERS ALISTAIR MCAULEY AND PAUL SIMMONS







It was a Glasgow Toile wallpaper that put Timorous Beasties on the world map in 2004. But the Scottish-based design studio by Alistair McAuley and Paul Simmons had been going for 14 years by then. “We remember years ago when we went to Vogue to meet with the late Isabella Blow, who loved the work, and at that point we thought we had made it - how wrong we were: that was in 1996!” they say.

Since then he has had his...

It was her mother that gave Sydney-based designer Phoebe Langdona piece of advice that has always stuck. “Pick what you love to do because you will be working for a very long time,” she said. Phoebe spent many years throughout school taking short courses in various creative arts to test out different options but it was time spent with her grandmother that had the greatest impact. “Growing up I...
