Behind the Designer: Q&A With Wendy Morrison AFTER HOURS

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the first-ever fashion collaboration between Wendy Morrison and Terry de Havilland. This unique partnership, driven by a mutual passion for colour, texture, and craftsmanship, brings together the distinct aesthetics of both brands to create a very limited collection.

Delve deeper into the mind behind the design as we Q&A with Wendy Morrison, curator of the hand-knotted Talisman rug that blends playful dragons, ombre clouds, and geometric patterns in a vivid colour palette available to shop online at www.wendymorrison.com 

The Talisman design features a pair of playful dragons, which symbolise power, strength, good luck and kindness, cocooned by ombre clouds, representing peace, happiness and luck, encased in the bold, geometric lines of a colourful border, softened by the gentle curves of green waves, which symbolise time.

Favourite cocktail? Oh, I’m not a cocktail fan. Champagne darling…

Favourite TDH style and why? The WMD x TDH boots of course. A match made in heaven!

Top 3 celebs to invite to your dinner party? Stephen Fry, Nick Cave & Jimmy Carr

Best advice you’ve ever received? Believe in the power of positive thinking, it will change your life!

Favourite holiday destination? Nice Ville in the South of France – warm & sunny, food to die for and tres, tres chic!

All nighter or bed by 10pm? Bed by 10pm because I wake at a silly hour and have no choice. On a special occasion I’ll fight through it though.

Who’s your fashion icon? Alexander McQueen

(Most important) Why TDH? Shoes and rugs are the perfect pairing and what better collaborator than TDH with their unrivalled design, style and quality
