Established in 2005 by Australian artist Kim McClintock, the Ghost & Lola label finds a unique niche in the traditional market place of mass production by offering glamorous and exquisitely detailed hand-crafted one-off creations and limited edition seasonal collections merging a wealth of objects from many places, cultures & eras, vintage and contemporary.
Eclectic, eccentric and elaborate, Ghost & Lola collections draw inspiration from a love of contemporary art & literature, the glamorous illusionary charm of the past & the lightness & darkness of nature & myth. The result is a series of directional pieces, non-conformist in vision, glamorous, feminine but with a distinct contemporary edge, making a strong visual statement whether worn day or evening.
Rare vintage crystal & glass stones, dark brooding cameos, decorative chain and old cellulose interspersed with lucite, plastic & stainless steel are some of Kim’s favourite materials which she uses to create lush and elaborate conceptual pieces abundant with floral & faunal motifs entrancing & engaging on both a visual and cerebral level.
Stocked in high-end boutiques in Milan, London, Moscow, Hong Kong, Dubai, Hollywood & many more fashion destinations internationally, the Ghost & Lola label continues to grow rapidly having recently secured one of the world’s leading specialty stores as a stockist, Liberty of London.
As Oscar Wilde said, “Nothing succeeds like excess.”
