Twinkle Living - Whimsical, quirky, sophisticated and accessible home designs for the contemporary collector who appreciates fashion.

 

Twinkle Living encapsulates Wenlan Chia’s fashion sensibility, her contemporary lifestyle, and a childhood spent amongst the expansive architecture of her native Taiwan.

 

Wenlan founded Twinkle after her handmade chunky knit sweaters caught the eyes of stylish New Yorkers on the street as she strode to class at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Her ability to combine advanced knitting with fashion forward ideas made the craft hot again. Originally trained in the arts, Wenlan draws all of her own patterns for both her home and fashion collections. Young Hollywood has fallen in love with Wenlan’s arty ingénue look, whose roster of trendsetting admirers includes Mischa Barton, Maggie Gyllenhall, Kate Hudson and Scarlett Johanssen. In 2000, Wenlan rounded out her knitwear with a complete ready-to-wear collection that comes to life each season on the New York fashion week runways. In 2004 Wenlan expanded to a sought-after accessory line.

Twinkle’s popular intarsia knits are also translated for the home as wool and cashmere throws. The 6x8 designs feature two Twinkle icons: the Dancing Unicorn and the Daring Fox, and are featured in contrasting colors of brown with red and white with navy. Solid throws are available as well, and colors include sea urchin, forest, French grey, and tea rose. The throws in conjunction with silk screened cotton canvas throw pillows done in geometric prints, will enable shoppers to mix and match and create their own unique beds.
