Winnie Lui graduated from Central Saint Martins in Fashion
Communication and Promotion. At once a fashion stylist,
photographer and custom jewellery designer. Lui has
been a stylist for singer/actress Gigi Leung, worked for
photographer Wing Shya in Hong Kong, while attaining the
knowledge of silversmithing from London-based jewellery
designer Lara Bohinc. Inspired by her surroundings,
obsessed with both new and vintage toys, she is attracted
to small details and everyday objects that are beautiful
but seem unimportant. Lui’s exclusive collaboration with
Innermost has produced exciting creations, where fashion
meets product design.
Originally from Hong Kong, Tina Leung studied at Central
Saint Martins in London, England, before returning to
her roots to work for Innermost. Her portfolio includes
working for Shanghai Tang designing accessories and
Alan Chan Design in Hong Kong. Tina’s work is influenced
strongly by modern Asian animation and illustration
styles and in her own words she ‘plays with materials to
create opportunities’. Tina joined Innermost in 2004 and
her first products, including ‘Kapow’, were launched in
February 2005.
Born in Manchester in 1972, Tom Kirk studied at Middlesex
University and Camberwell School of Art, graduating
with a first class honours degree in Silversmithing and
Metalwork in 1994. In 1997, Tom was awarded a Crafts
Council setting up grant and formally established his
studio, designing and producing one-off and batch
produced lights. Several of these early designs are still
in production today. Today, Kirk’s designs reflect over a
decade’s experience in manufacturing processes; working
with a diverse range of techniques and materials.
