Taubmans team up with Josh Goot for tee in a tin

In a seriously cool collaboration for a paint brand, Taubmans has partnered with Aussie fashion designer Josh Goot to create a limited edition T-shirt packaged in a paint tin.

Drawing inspiration from a beautiful palette of Taubmans paint colours, the T-shirt’s design is a fusion of interiors and fashion and a new interpretation of Josh’s signature style. Using white as a base, he created an eye-catching, digitally painted floral design, with his trademark whimsical use of colour. In keeping with Taubmans’ brand manifesto to inspire consumers with colour, Josh chose a palette that reflects the colours that inspire him this season, including Lavendula, Rouge Roi, Split Lime and Taffy Twist.

He says: “There is a natural connection between Taubmans and Josh Goot as we have a shared passion for colour and quality. I loved the idea of using a blank white T-shirt as a canvas, working with Taubmans to create a digitally painted orchid for this Summer 13/14 piece.”

Nina Maya swaps fashion for interior design

Nina Maya isn’t new to the design business. For five years she worked as a designer for her own fashion label, which was stocked at Myer and worn by the likes of Jennifer Hawkins and Cate Blanchett. Yet it was while travelling in 2011 that Nina’s passion changed direction from fashion to interiors.

“I was living in London at the time and was lucky enough to spend some time travelling around the south of France. During these travels I became so inspired by all the incredible design museums and grand homes that it seemed like a natural progression… it utilised a lot of the same skills in colour and print.”

And so Nina Maya Interiors was born. Putting to use her studies in textile and design at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney, as well as skills learned while training at Owens & Co, an East London textile firm, Nina quickly found a knack for interiors and textile design.

“My focus is entirely on interiors now. I loved designing fashion but really enjoy applying my ideas, colours and prints to a much bigger canvas. Designing interiors allows you to be much more free and less restrictive as long as you have an open minded client who is willing to explore new territory with you.”
