Look at Sydney
Outside of Lucy Folk’s new store on William Street, Sydney
Jewelry and fashion Lucy Folk is the inner creator Tamsin Johnson they have been friends for many years. Although they all came from Melbourne, they all collectively defined the most important styles in Sydney – refined but uneducated, extravagant in their choices, always in conversation with nature, style and tone. Then, it is understandable that the new Folk flag in Sydney, which opened in November, should not have been made by Johnson, but was placed near the Johnson store on William Street, which in recent years replaced Glenmore Road as a starting point for life. at Paddington. If you are a fan of Folk’s Greek-inspired towelling and kaftans dresses, or their associations with Luke Edward Hall also a leather worker Corto Moltedo, will be – ahem – a gold miner for you. Johnson laid out the store’s roof in Tuareg mats, soft-walled walls, and heavy hand-made cabinets, creating a shophouse-souk feel that complemented Folk’s elegance. Above is a state-of-the-art studio and a medina-esque tea or lounge, with its own folk-curated library. If you like ceramic lamps or French furniture from the 20th century, there are others similar to Johnson’s place nearby.
The new Folk outlet was created by Folk’s friend Tamsin Johnson
