INTERVIEW
INGRID BONNOR
In what’s set to be one of the chicest collaborations of summer, leading Australian loungewear label, Homebodii, has
launched the first of its collaboration capsules with renowned Byron Bay mixed media artist, Jai Vasicek, bringing to
life his iconic ‘Blanc et Bleue’ prints in luxury flowing fabrics.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WORK WITH AUSTRA-
LIAN ARTISTS?
Artists and creatives are some of the most passionate
people you can ever meet. Their work is deeply
personal to them and as a brand we wish to support
those that bring colour and beauty into the world.
DESCRIBE YOUR NEW COLLECTION AND COL-
LABORATION WITH JAI VASICEK
Based out of Byron Bay, Jai Vasicek is one of Australia’s
most sought-after mixed-media artists, producing
stunning paintings, prints, embellished crosses
and decorative tiles. Most of his works are abstracted
or embellished portraits, using bright colours
and layering techniques to create real statement
pieces. Jai captures the true essence of feminine
whimsicality in his abstract and naive tribal woman.
His use of colour and patterns encapsulates the
feminine form in all its beauty, provoking the inner
goddess within us all.
HOW DO YOU CHAMPION AUS-
TRALIA AND ARE YOU INVOLVED
IN ANY CHARITIES?
HOMEBODII’S FOUNDER,
INGRID BONNOR
INGRID, CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT HOMEBODII ?
I founded Homebodii in 2012, and I am proud and
grateful that it has evolved to become recognised
for our attention to the small touches and personalisation.
We make quality sleep and loungewear
garments using a combination of creative intuition
and a commitment to our core design values.
We are proud to have been
partnering with a local
women’s refuge and the
Pajama Foundation for some
time now. Two local charities
where we can see the immediate
impact our support has
given. I think it’s important
to re-invest in your local
communities and have a
more hands-on approach.
