Muse - Goldie Hawn

Style icon Goldie Hawn had a quirky sense of style that was best reflected during her 1960 - 1980's heyday.
With her big doe eyes, pixie like features and svelte frame, Goldie was the perfect palette for all things mini and cute such as short shorts, pussy bow blouses and flippy dresses.
This award winning actresse's style could perfectly be described as sassy, cheeky, sexy and doll like with a personality to emphasise it.
Even today Goldie's beauty still shines.

Once upon a twisted time…

The Teddy Bear’s Picnic is a series of art works which place a sinister twist to popular fairytale characters.

Within this world, Gretal discovers something more delicious than candy, Little Red Hiding Hood undergoes a ghastly transformation and Repunzel uses her long, golden locks to commit atrocious acts.

It is a world where button fetishes are contagious, childhood nursery rhymes are interwoven with macabre themes and happily ever after is anything but.

Based on the Teddy Bear’s Picnic series comes an exciting collaboration from the imagination of artist Lang Leav (Akina), and the talent of jeweller Zoe Sernack (ZM925).

The world of Akina lends a whimsical charm to the striking nature and popularity of Zoe’s work and the ZM925 collection.

Born from this very special meeting are miniature works of art, tiny silver charms worn close to the hearts of fairy tale villains far and wide.

Each fairytale charm features a movable head and comes tucked away in their own exquisite themed packaging, designed and handmade by Lang Leav.

There are 3 limited edition charms available including Little Miss Liliput, Little Red Riding Hood and Little Matchbox Girl, for $110 each.

Buy online at www.zm925.com and don’t miss the story on each of these little villains at www.akina.com !
