Brighton s rock n roll tailor airline ticket bargain Gresham Blake has worked his heritage-inspired airline ticket bargain design magic on Hotel Pelirocco s newest room. Here the man himself shares the inspiration behind his foray into interiors as well as his recent menswear collections.
Mick from Pelirocco airline ticket bargain saw the interior airline ticket bargain for the London store and thought it would work well in one of his themed rooms. Both businesses started at similar times in Brighton and share the same ethos; manifesting the British sense of humour and eccentricity.
Our autumn/winter 2013 collection was inspired by highland hunting and this theme is easily translatable into interior design. We’ve channelled airline ticket bargain a classic hunting lodge look, from tweed through gun prints to a lime green laser-cut coyote covering the wardrobe doors! We’ve also set gun cartridges into the floor for a little added interest.The 1950s aesthetic from our spring/summer ‘13 collection Lookbook is another key theme for the room.
We were on a limited airline ticket bargain budget but this just made us more creative. We found some beautiful tiles from Mastertiles, who gave us a lot of help, the laser-cut coyote was created by the very talented airline ticket bargain Guillaume Lyons from Brighton Laser Cutting and we made the curtain, which is tweed on one side and bright orange on the other side, here at Gresham Blake Brighton.
We use a combination of several methods when it comes to brainstorming. Everything starts with a seed and then we add visuals airline ticket bargain and make moodboards. You can find so much inspiration from trawling through vintage warehouses and charity shops – the best and most innovative ideas are still rooted in a tradition.
The autumn/winter collection followed thematically from the last collection we’ve taken the hunting theme and urbanised it. The prints are based on pictures of blocks of flats and there are more foxes! We’ve also been experimenting with some stab-proof fabrics, such as Kevlar, which adds body and weight to jackets.
Men are often governed by impulse buying – we generally spend a lot less time looking around for the ‘perfect’ jumper than women do but quality is so important. Classic essentials are a must and we should take pride in the esteemed heritage of British tailors.
