moyou in sydney | young blood: designers market

Moyou is very excited to be traveling to Sydney this weekend for the fantastic Young Blood: Designers Market, at the Powerhouse Museum.

The coming Young Blood: Designers Market is being held as part of Sydney Design 09. Showcasing approximately 50 of Australia's emerging talented designers, it is sure to be a wonderful event! The Powerhouse Museum is located at 500 Harris Street, Ultimo in Sydney and for the first time Young Blood will be held in the Powerhouse Museum's main gallery - the Turbine Hall.



Admission to the museum/market will be $5 (a fabulous 50% discount off the regular $10 admission fee) - and on top of this I have a special 2-for-1 offer that I can email to you if you are interested, which will see you and a friend enter for a total of $5! If you would like to receive this special 2-for-1 offer please contact me via email: amy@moyou.com.au

Young Blood is on Friday evening (August 14) from 6pm-9pm and Saturday (August 15) from 10am–5pm....so if you're in Sydney this weekend and you're free, please come along, say hi and see Moyou's gorgeous range in person!

The past week has been enormously busy but I just wanted to share a couple of images from Moyou's stall at Magnolia Square in Sydney last Thursday, Friday & Saturday.

a new moyou range | sneak peek

I can hardly contain my excitement about this new project...and it has been difficult keeping it under wraps for so long. It is nearing completion and I can now show you a sneak peek of this secret-squirrel range that I have been working on.

A couple of early pics of the coming Moyou handmade ceramic range - currently undergoing their 3rd and final firing. They will have their grand unveiling at Magnolia Square Sydney next week.

pieces of you—gorgeous clothing!

If you have never come across this stunning label, I would like to take the time to introduce you to Pieces of You and the lovely creator, Melanie—she is a regular at the Sisters' Market in Brunswick, Melbourne and can also be found at Red Hill Market, Flemington Market, Shirt & Skirt Market, Rose Street Artists Market and in-store at Olive Grove.

Pieces of You is the brand of Melanie's gorgeous clothing range created from upcycled fabric which she reinvents into amazing garments and accessories. I must confess to starting a Pieces of You collection in my wardrobe...impossible to resist! You can see some of her lovely pieces on her flickr site and read more on her blog. Divine!

moyou in melbourne

After a whirlwind couple of weeks (and months!) - I'm back. I feel as though there is so much to tell and share and not enough hours in the day! Sadly, I will have to keep this little catch up brief as I must get back to an application and stock preparation for the coming week...more about that soon!

I was lucky enough to spend 3 days in Melbourne over the weekend of June 13th/14th to attend the wonderful Sisters' Market and to check out the amazing biannual Melbourne Design Market.

At the Melbourne Design Market I was very excited to meet/catch up with the following fabulous people...the 3 lovely ladies (Bianca, Lara and Tegan) from Ink & Spindle (you can see some lovely photos of the Ink & Spindle stall at the market here), Shannon from Rabbit and the Duck and Nicola of Nicola Cerini. I was also absolutely thrilled to have the time and opportunity to stop by the gorgeous Ink & Spindle studio on Monday before flying home to Canberra. My only regret is forgetting my camera...but what a wonderful, wonderful trip!!
