Australians Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson, co-founded the ethnic inspired Easton Pearson line over 10 years ago. Their collections are playful, intricate, and focused on traditional craftsmanship, handiwork. The duo has said that they draw their inspirations from varied terrain " - from Indian, African and European sources, from historical predecessors, from vintage clothes, from museums, archives and films, from books and our own travels with our families. The possibilities offered by specific textile techniques clearly influence us in terms of what might be adapted into clothing. Simultaneously, our visual references continue to wander. We find we are drawn to the work of artist's colonies in humid and hot lands - to visual expressions from the South of France, from the American desert, Mexico, Polynesia or South Africa. Many of these communities are especially rich in decorative textile traditions." - Vogue.au
