Bold and practical, the Antipodes XL Shopper in Rouge sits at the heart of my newly released Antipodes collection — designed to carry colour, story and purpose into everyday life. Oversized and lightweight, crafted from durable wipe-clean technical fabric, it’s about ease without compromise.
The artwork brings together two iconic birds from either side of the Tasman — the deep, resonant kōkako of Aotearoa and the vibrant pink cockatoo of Australia. Layered, vivid and unmistakably FLOX, turning function into a wearable canvas.
Generous in scale and easy to fold, this piece is designed to hold whatever the day gathers, grounded in connection, colour and considered design
Last night felt like the perfect culmination of our time here at Cap Karoso.
What began weeks ago as conversations, sketches, ideas and shared inspiration slowly evolved into The Art Of Taste — an immersive evening where food, art and storytelling came together beneath one roof. To see our Sumba-inspired residency collection sitting within the beautiful atmosphere of Cap Karoso’s Julang Restaurant, accompanied by Jules Letteron’s thoughtful and deeply expressive menu, was everything we had hoped for and more.
One of the most special parts of the evening was the sense of connection in the room — guests gathering around the work, sharing stories, asking questions, lingering over beautiful food and conversation. It reminded us that art is at its most powerful when it creates space for people to come together.
A huge thank you to Jules for so intuitively helping bring this vision to life through his incredible cuisine and creative openness, and to the wonderful Arnold, whose generosity, support and calm presence helped carry us through every part of this residency journey.
And finally to Cap Karoso — thank you for creating a place where creativity, culture and meaningful exchange can truly flourish. We leave this island feeling deeply inspired, incredibly grateful, and forever changed by the experience.

Refined and quietly expressive, the Antipodes City Pouch is an elevated statement piece designed for evenings, events, and moments that call for simplicity with impact. Crafted from smooth vegan leather, its structured silhouette offers a modern, fashion-led take on functional design.
Finished with an elegant gold chain strap, it can be worn crossbody or over the shoulder, moving effortlessly from day to night. A matte metal magnetic clasp keeps the closure clean and understated, with my signature wings subtly embossed on the front — a detail you notice up close.
The rich moss colour-way brings a sense of depth and restraint, allowing texture, form, and detail to take the lead. Structured and protective by design, the City Pouch keeps essentials secure, offering space for your phone and must-haves without losing its shape. Minimal yet distinctive, this is a piece that speaks softly but confidently — where considered design meets effortless style, unmistakably Antipodes.
A MURAL FOR ALL
Last month I was given the incredible honour of creating a mural for a very special space here in Tāmaki Makaurau, the National Refugee Centre.
This piece has been designed as a welcome — a first visual moment intended to offer warmth, colour, and a sense of belonging to those arriving for the first time.
The composition draws on elements of Aotearoa — native flora and fauna, alongside subtle references to place — all woven together to create something uplifting, calm, and hopeful.
What made this experience particularly meaningful was the people I met along the way. Individuals from many walks of life, carrying stories of resilience and strength, who despite everything, met the world with warmth and openness. It was a powerful reminder of the role art can play — even without words — in creating connection.
A deeply personal aspect of this mural was the inclusion of three faces, inspired by artwork created by someone who had once moved through this same space. Carrying that thread forward felt important — a quiet acknowledgement of those who have come before, and a way of embedding their presence into the work.
Thank you to the team who entrusted me with this opportunity. It’s one I’ll carry with me for a long time.

🌿 THE ALL NEW ANTIPODES COLLECTION 🌿
New for 2026, Antipodes marks the next chapter — a considered evolution into pieces designed for everyday movement and travel.
This luxury travel and lifestyle range expands my story for the first time beyond Aotearoa, drawing in Australia and the shared language of landscape between the two. Colour, native flora and fauna, and a deep respect for the natural world sit at the heart of it.
With Antipodes, I’ve been exploring connection in a more lived way — how art moves with people, how it’s carried, and how it becomes part of daily rhythm. These pieces are designed to travel well, hold meaning, and exist easily within everyday life.

🔥 Fire has always felt like a shifting kind of energy to me — something that moves, transforms and evolves.
With Ahi, I’ve been thinking about how that energy translates into form — and how it sits within something as functional as a BLUNT umbrella. An object that moves between weather, shelter and everyday use, but also becomes a surface for storytelling.
Over the years, I’ve returned to Aotearoa’s natural world as a way of understanding that movement. Wai, Whenua, and now Ahi each hold a different state of being — fluid, grounded, and alight — and this collaboration sits within that ongoing exploration.
To mark the launch, each BLUNT x FLOX purchased through Haus of FLOX includes an exclusive limited edition A4 print — an extension of that same visual language, created as a companion to the work.

🔥 The latest BLUNT x FLOX — a vivid new release shaped by Ahi, the elemental force of fire. This fifth collaboration continues a long-standing creative partnership, bringing movement, colour and form together in a way that feels both powerful and alive with energy.
To mark the launch, every BLUNT x FLOX umbrella purchased through Haus of FLOX (online or in-store) includes a complimentary limited edition, unframed A4 FLOX print, Autumnal Wings, valued at $60 — created exclusively as a companion to the umbrella. Drawing from the same visual language as the canopy, this work translates movement and natural form into something more intimate — a piece to hold onto beyond the everyday.
The all new BLUNT x FLOX features native flora and fauna that move throughout a landscape of warmth and motion. The Kōtare and Tūī appear within this environment as the umbrella opens and turns.
Marking 20 years of FLOX, this release reflects both continuity and evolution — expressed through colour, movement and a sustained creative fire.
