Heart Centered, Earth Directed Designs with Hollie Perniskie

Today’s conversation is with host Emma Hamilton and special guest, Hollie Perniskie, designer and founder of Felix conscious design, a “heart centered, Earth directed” sustainable clothing brand based in Ōtepoti / Dunedin. Through her own business, Hollie uses her talent and training as a designer to create yoga, active, and leisurewear for women that prioritizes their comfort and health alongside the health of the Earth. Inside Hollie’s studio along the bustling hill on Stuart Street, we learn a bit about Hollie’s path to becoming a designer and some of her mentors and inspiration, many of whom are members of her own family/whānau. We also learn about the intention and experimentation that goes into Hollie’s process of making garments. Learn more about Hollie and her work online at https://www.felixwear.com, on Instagram @felix.consciousdesign, and on Etsy at https://felixconsciousdesign.etsy.com. Or, stop by her studio in King Edward Court to see the magic for yourself! This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin - http://oar.org.nz
