| Whimsical, quirky, sophisticated and accessible home designs for the contemporary collector who appreciates fashion Twinkle Living encapsulates Wenlan Chia’s fashion sensibility, her contemporary lifestyle, and a childhood spent amongst the expansive architecture of her native Taiwan. Since Twinkle’s inception as a women’s fashion company in 1999, Wenlan’s signature look has impressed the fashion community as well as her loyal clientele, who remain steadfastly devoted to the line’s whimsical dresses and ultra-feminine separates. With custom prints and designs inspired by imagery culled from a life spent working in the arts, traveling the world, and escaping with idle daydreams, Wenlan brings a fresh point of view to her work and is thrilled to translate her ideas into a line of unique but accessible collection for the home. As the case with Twinkle womenswear, the 300-thread count bedding designs of Twinkle Living are designed to mix and match. Bedding is available in 11 patterns and twelve color selections ranging in price from $50 for a pair of pillowcases to $300 for a duvet cover. Geometric patterns include Cosmic, an eccentric combination of dots and ovals, as well as Wavy Stripes, a stripe pattern broken by dips and waves. Nature is incorporated into Shanghai, an Asian-inspired floral print comprised of giant and tiny flower motifs blended in an original textile print. Patterns – available in feminine and masculine color ways – have been developed to accent a wide range of modern furniture décor elements. Wenlan founded Twinkle after her handmade chunky knit sweaters caught the eyes of stylish New Yorkers on the street as she strode to class at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Her ability to combine advanced knitting with fashion forward ideas made the craft hot again. Originally trained in the arts, Wenlan draws all of her own patterns for both her home and fashion collections. Young Hollywood has fallen in love with Wenlan’s arty ingénue look, whose roster of trendsetting admirers includes Mischa Barton, Maggie Gyllenhall, Kate Hudson and Scarlett Johanssen. In 2000, Wenlan rounded out her knitwear with a complete ready-to-wear collection that comes to life each season on the New York fashion week runways. In 2004 Wenlan expanded to a sought-after accessory line. |
