The Grand Social recently interviewed designer Angelique May-Bennett about the latest myPetsQuare collection:
What inspired your new collection?
RA RA RASPUTIN HEY RUSSIA HEY RUSSIA!!!!
Everything Russian — the old Russian Cars; the Russian political history of madness and striving for a great world — as messy as communism turns out to be, it’s a great idea but it just doesn’t work, then to the turn around of this new Russian Excess and capitalism; the old Russian innocence of the peasants; the incredible beauty that the Russian Women have; the way all business is done over a vodka; the incredible stories of the Russian Royal family and the trials they endured before being wiped out; the value of money versus the value of equality for all; the question marks of human greed that seem to always be at the forefront for Russians; the oldy worldy Europe feeling of Russia; and of course the famous Babooshka dolls, in Russia they have some that are as big as a building that go to as small as a pin hole!



“The GRAND SOCIAL” is a marketplace for Australian and New Zealand designers.” The Grand Social enables designers to get their products online and increase their availability world-wide. The Grand Social has commissioned a limited edition collection titled, “Black Summer”. The collection features specially designed pieces limited to eight of each style. Participating are labels Ruby Smallbone, Zoemou, GRAZ, myPetsQuare, Oscar & Elvis and Deadly Ponies. The collection is available for purchase at the Grand Social website.
Old suitcases, muscle cars, old Penthouse ads, rock, the 70’s, old family snapshots, Elvis, and “cool old stuff” are among the many influences of myPetsQuare’s new collection in stores now. This season’s collection plays it more safe than last. They have moved away from crazy abstract patterns and oversized clothes to solids, skinny jeans, and shorts with an ever decreasing hemline.
