AMELIA HOLMES

Your background is in both fashion and interior design. Tell us how the two worlds collided.

I studied textile design so, during my study, the two fields naturally crossed over. I always had a strong interest in textures, tones and how materials worked together. When I completed my studies, I initially worked on interiors in New Zealand for Penny Hay and then, , and . I returned home one summer and really felt like I wanted to be home for a bit. That’s when I started working on interior editorials here and my focus naturally shifted from fashion to interiors. It was a very fluid transition. In the past four years, since having children, I have worked solely on residential and interior projects. That said, I have very fond memories of editorial work, be it in interiors or fashion.
