Just in time for Christmas, Unwrapped: the marketplace returns for its final event of 2009 on Saturday 19 December. Set to be the biggest Unwrapped yet, the market will be bursting at the seams with Perth’s most unique and exciting gifts made by over 70 of WA’s hottest emerging designers. The wide array of products available, ranging from fashion and jewellery to art and skin care, makes this event the perfect opportunity to ease your present‐buying woes, and perhaps even purchase a well deserved gift or two for yourself!
The star studded line up of participating designers has just been announced and includes Igor and Katja, Ann Nie from Tu, Isobel Macaulay from Pinch and Spoon, silversmith Helena Bogucki and Jack Flanagan from Bisous. Silversmith Helena Bogucki returns to Unwrapped for the second time this year, “The Unwrapped concept is genius! Bringing together local designers under one umbrella has provided an ideal opportunity for my range of contemporary jewellery to pollinate new audiences and create new industry contacts.”
Recently launched menswear label Bisous is a newcomer to Unwrapped and designer Jack sees it as a great opportunity to engage with his target market. ”This is just the beginning for Bisous. We’re excited to be involved with Unwrapped: Leederville, it will give us an opportunity to get our designs in front of the market and gauge feedback in the perfect setting.” Igor and Katja will unveil their new summer range “Cut outs for summer” at Unwrapped: Leederville. ”We will be selling our latest matched collection of futuristic boy‐girl apparel. We love Unwrapped because it gets us out there, in front of industry professionals and fashion lovers; we like the former to know we exist and the latter to delight in our labour of love.”
So if you are in the market for one‐off pieces that will knock the (festive) socks off even the most discerning of your friends and family, make tracks to Leederville on 19 December.
