Laika Summer 09
Masayo and the design team at dogstar have collaborated with visual artist Paola Milani to create the summer 09 Laika range.
Paola’s prints are inspired by the photographs of Dr. Masaru Emoto. Water crystals which have been exposed to the energies of love, hope and gratitude bear an uncanny resemblance to mandalas from various cultures throughout the world. She layers these into her photographs and paintings which are informed by the intriguing connection between the natural world, religions symbolism and the subconscious. They invite the viewer to gaze deeply within and can be a source of meditation and reflection.

LAIKA winter 09 arrives in store
Oriental necklines with oversized paneled collars, crushed metallic fabrics in silvers and mochas, and the secret blossoming of a gentle lily, LAIKA winter 09 is elegant and mysterious. Inspired by the
fantasy of a secret garden full of winding pathways, cool shadows and restful water features, this range is majestic.
Traditionally the knowledge of Japanese garden making was passed on in person from sensei to apprentice, and as it says in Zoen’s Illustrations for designing mountain, water and hillside field landscapes (1466) “If you have not received the oral transmissions, you must not make gardens” and in closing, “You must never show this writing to outsiders. You must keep it secret”. This secret knowledge makes the overwhelming beauty of these gardens even more magical.
