Vintage Modern Issue

The breadth and scope of Habitus has always been extraordinary. With how we live at heart of every issue, we have stepped it up with Guest Editor David Flack of Flack Studio shaking the ‘how’ and looking at new ways to make a house a home. With Vintage Modern as the issues theme, we look at the way iconic design has stayed with us, how daring pieces from the past can add the wow factor and how architecture and good design defy the pigeon hole of their era.

Design Hunter™ Q&A with Fleur Wood

By staying true to her own philosophy, Fleur Wood has become a successful Australian fashion designer and now, author.


With a signature style that combines her love for vintage detailing with beautiful feminine colours and textiles, Fleur Wood’s strongest design influences come from the Far East. Having spent a two year sabbatical in India during her 20’s, during which time she designed ranges for the culture-preservation project of the Tibetan Exile Government, Fleur continues to weave remnants of this exotic culture into her collections. Here she talks with Habitusliving.com about some of her personal design favourites.
