Lyn and Tony are Australian born artists living and working between Sydney and Byron Bay. They have worked together for over 15 years in a relationship that is almost symbiotic. Their work travels between photography, art, objects and accessories. Both grew up near idyllic Byron Bay surrounded by the incredible natural beauty and the idea of making beautiful images & objects now fill their days.

 

 

As photographers, they have worked with commercial clients such as Louis Vuitton, Lee, Chanel, Georg Jensen, Ksubi, as well as having contributed to international magazines such as BIG (NY),125 (London), Nico (Luxemburg), Oyster (Australia), Russh (Japan), Qompendium (Germany) among others.

Lyn & Tony regularly exhibit their photography, art, installation and objects in numerous galleries and groups shows, often working in collaboration with other artists. Recent shows include Galerie Huit Open Salon at the Arles Photography Festival 2011, Denim exhibition at Mr Kitly Gallery in Melbourne, 2011 Josephine Ulrick & Win Schubert Photography Award exhibition, and a solo Installation & photography show at the Helen Gory Galerie (Melbourne), with previous group shows in Luxemburg, Berlin, Barcelona, London & Sydney.

The idea of handmade objects & accessories evolved as a project when acting as the Creative Directors on a fashion designers show for Mercedes Sydney Fashion Festival in 2008. Orders were placed immediately by key buyers for the Belinda Seper owned The Corner Shop. Influential Sydney store Poepke was next to encourage & support the unique label. Pieces also sold into the iconic design store, colette in Paris, in March 2009 as part of The Selby Popoup shop.

Lyn & Tony were photographed in their studio in Sydney as part foi the Selby project.

The label has been wholly embraced by the Australian media, featured regularly in Vogue, Harpens Bazar, Grazia, Marie Claire, Instyle, Grazie & Oyster among others. Pieces have also recently featured in French Elle magazine.


Lyn & Tony are largely inspired by the beauty of natural materials. There is areal commitment to using the finest of quality silk, sterling silver, coral, kangaroo leather & semi precious stones – Australian sourced material are used whenever possible.

Each piece is of a limited edition and is a real labour of love, with Lyn and Tony han making everything themselves.

New addition to the label are limited editioned bags and shoes for launch in SS2013.
