Hazed Summer 2012

Excitement! Delirious excitement!

That is the mood here in the Hazel Loves Design studios, and we have all of you. Our fabulous readers. To thank! When I first launched ‘Hazel Loves Design’ in 2010 I never could have imagined the journey it would take me on, or more importantly the culmination of events from the last couple of months.

The launch of Hazed has been well received by all involved within the indie design community. Given that the team behind ‘Hazed’ don’t make or sell, but simply share all of the work that the fabulous designers here in the land of the long white cloud. I personally have been overwhelmed by the support and gratitude received by those of you in the community.

Recently we have been approached regarding a number of exciting collaborations and I would love your involvement in each and every one of them. Hazel Loves Design is getting involved with an initiative to bring a social enterprise to Mairehau, a store which will selling local indie design wares and supporting and nurturing aspiring designers to be the best they can be. We have also started tentative discussions to bring an indie design festival to Canterbury. If you are based in Canterbury and would like to know more about getting involved in either of these collaborations I would love to hear from you.

Due to the popularity of Hazed we have realised how important it is to showcase the talent from our shores, so check out our blog to whet your appetite between magazines!!

We have a number of new contributors, and our ‘Kiwi Touch’ series is a beautiful showcase of what New Zealand has to offer the world.

Interested in doing a feature on the blog? Want to be interviewed for Hazed? As always we would love to hear from you! We are only as successful as our contributor’s allow us to be!

Love, Hazel and the team at ‘Hazel Loves Design xo
