Zoe and I have a soft spot for girls who are friends who work in a pair. Iris Cuaresma and Mara Tonetti are Thursday Sunday. They are based in Melbourne and they make beautiful clothes, from natural fibres, in Australia. You can take a closer look here, but we'd draw a parallel to other pared back labels with a sense of simplicity - if you like A.P.C. or Rag and Bone, you'll probably enjoy Thursday Sunday. A pair of woolen shorts, a cashmere camel coat, a handknitted jumper (handknitted by Mara's Mum!). Here's what I imagine doing in their clothes: drinking a tumbler of red wine, sitting on the floor and listening to records with my flatmate; going for a walk in the park and getting a cold nose; smoking a cigarette on the porch really quickly so I don't get cold hands. Basically just doing stuff and getting stuff done. Thursday Sunday like:
1) Erin Wasson.
2) Phoebe Philo and her work for Celine.
3) Sketchbooks and Diaries, we each have 2 diaries. One boring one for business related things and of course less practical personal one which are beautifully designed which inspire us to sketch more.
4) We love knitwear, especially our hand made knitwear which features in each collection made by mum. This knit was from our previous A/W collection. Thanks Liz for the beautiful photography!
5) Derek Henderson’s terrible boredom of paradise is so inspiring – such a simple concept but his photograph tell a story with his use of an amazing colour palette and atmosphere.
6) Summer/Winter – Iris loves Winter, Mara loves Summer so we fight all the time!
7) RnB/Hip Hop – Who doesn’t like it?
8) Linen – One of the oldest textiles but stands the text of time. We use it for every collection because of the amazing texture, quality and the way it feels on your body.
9) Tea & Cigarettes – They go hand in hand and gives us an excuse to take a break in between our busy schedules.
10 ) Family – We are very family orientated and they inspire us everyday – couldn’t live without them.
