new york inspiration

When I was in New York late 2007, I passed two of the most fabulous window settings I had ever seen. I can't remember the exact street, but it was down in Lower East Side just before Broadway.

and so it begins...

elki design has been our little creative child for some years, and its been in the past 6 months that we've brought our little baby out into the world. So let me introduce ourselves: emma and georgina kaveney. I (em) is a qualified graphic designer and have been working in an inner-city design studio for the past three years, whilst dabbling in my passion of interiours and painting outside of work. My sister, Georgina, is outragiously talented in all things creative. Having studied fashion design, cheffing and now working as a food stylist for one of Australia's largest food magazines.
Our passions are very similar and we're able to bounce of each other, which is the basis for any great professional relationship. Our love for old treasures (furniture, fabrics, books, jewellery, silver) and vintage shops - as well as introducing modern twists here and there.

elki is a business where we can create childrens clothes and homewares from beautiful fabric with refined dressmaking skills. Mum use to make all our dresses when we were smaller with the beautiful Liberty of London fabric. Probably most people have come across it, and yes it was a little 'abused' in the 80's. But we using Liberty fabric in modern ways to 'mix it up' and avoid the 'head to toe look' of Liberty!

We have our website up and running at the moment, and will be uploading some photos of our products up soon. We hope you enjoy our little blog and more importantly provide you with a little pleasure and inspiration
