The Journey
The journey so far – from textile design studio to home ware brands to styling & production and back again…..
Louise as the founder and designer of the cutting edge bed linen and home wares brand art park, developed a strong brand profile and identity. In a little under ten years - the company maintained ‘A’ list customers in Australia and internationally.
Exhibited at trade fairs at home and abroad, the stand out being the prestigious Heimtextil, Germany.
Opened retail outlets in Paddington and The Rocks.
Launched www.artpark.net.au website.
Developed a mail order business world wide and recorded over 8,000 customer profiles.
Battled the changing Australian manufacturing playing field and moved manufacturing to China. It was a heady time....
In 2002 Louise reinvented herself – and until now she has been working as a highly successful stylist for all of Australia’s prestige homes magazines, a broad range of advertising clients as well as event styling for high profile corporates. She’s also acted as creative consultant, producer and stylist for books on food, gardening and craft. Her work can be seen at www.louisebickle.com.au
““Louise Bickle was way ahead of her time when she first launched the art park range. Even her designs from over a decade ago remain as cutting edge, fresh and desirable today as they did when I first saw them.””
