GABOON VIPER Bitis gabonica ©Laura Quick This solitary snake is easily recognizable (though often hard to spot) due to its beautiful, symmetrical patterning, it disappears into the leaf litter. As an ambush predator, this nocturnal hunter will hide among the leaves and wait for its prey to pass by. Sometimes its victims will unknowingly walk right on top of the snake, not realizing their mistake until it is too late. With the highest venom yield of all venomous snakes, they have a deadly bite. The number of human fatalities is low as Gaboon vipers tend to be very calm, docile snakes. When threatened, they will initially hold very still and produce a loud, hissing sound as a warning. Unless striking, they tend to be slow-moving. Gaboon viper bites are rare; however, when they bite it is often fatal. Their record-length retractable fangs can be two inches long! #gaboonviper #viper #snake #two-inchfangs #©lauraquick #highestvenomyiel #thelair #los angeles zoo #glaza #lazoo #losangeleszooandbotanicalgardens #docent class #africa #bitisgabonica #ambushpredator #beautiful #animal #reptile https://www.instagram.com/p/B45orJ-HVr3/?igshid=2a6gquf0vn7

2017 - A DIGITAL BLACK HOLE

I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT DOESN'T BACK UP THEIR PHONE (I MEAN, NOW I DO) AND THERE ARE SOME DARK PERIODS WHERE I HAVE ALMOST NO PROOF OF SHOP LIFE. 2017 IS ONE SUCH TIME. I KNOW WE WE'RE UP TO A LOT IN THE STUDIO, DEVELOPING OUR APPAREL LINE THAT WE THEN MADE IN HOUSE. LOTS OF LINEN IN THOSE DAYS.

IN 2017 MY THEN PARTNER AND I CREATED A VINTAGE LABEL. IT WAS CALLED 'CHUKO' AND WE WENT OVER TO CANADA TO SOURCE VINTAGE THAT CAME IN THROUGH VANCOUVER AND FOR SOME REASON, THERE WAS JUST ABSOLUTE HOARDS OF GREAT VINTAGE THERE! THIS WAS A FUN LITTLE SOJOURN INTO VINTAGE, THAT LASTED JUST ABOUT AS LONG AS THAT RELATIONSHIP DID..

ALSO, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL BELLA, WHO WORKED IN THE LAIR STUDIO FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS! BUT PRIOR TO THAT WOULD MODEL FOR US , AND SOMETIMES HELP OUT WITH FINISHING JEWELLERY BACK IN THOSE DAYS, WHAT A SWEETHEART!

WORKING TOWARDS PERMANENCE IN MELBOURNE, 2016

THE FITZROY POP-UP LASTED FOR THREE MONTHS, AT THE END OF WHICH, ROSE AND I WERE EXTREMELY EAGER TO MAKE A PERMANENT SPACE IN MELBOURNE. WE KEPT IN TOUCH WITH OUR LANDLADY FROM THE POP-UP, AND AGREED TO SIGN ONTO A TWO YEAR LEASE THE FOLLOWING YEAR IN 2016.

THE YEARS THAT FOLLOW, 2016-2018 THERE IS A NOTABLE VIBE SHIFT IN TERMS OF DESIGN, WHERE I REMEMBER STARTING TO PAY ATTENTION TO FASHION BEYOND INSTAGRAM, TUMBLR AND RUSSH MAGAZINE, AND STARTED TO ENGAGE WITH STREET FASHION IN MELBOURNE, WHILST SIMULTANEOUSLY (THANK GOD) TONING DOWN ON THE STUDDED AND FRINGED COACHELLA MARKET.

CRUISING THROUGH 2014 WITH ALL THE CONFIDENCE OF A MILLENNIAL WITH INSTAGRAM

I'M GOING TO SKIM 2014 FOR A MIN. ITS MORE OR LESS THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS YEARS. THERES ONE STRONG THEME, WHICH SEEMS TO BE DESIGN AND EXECUTION OF SAID DESIGNS, OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING TIME WHERE I BECAME CONFIDENT THAT I COULD MAKE ANYTHING I COULD THINK OF, AND DID. I PUMPED OUT IDEAS WITH MORE OR LESS NO CURATION, AND WAS ABSOLUTELY STOKED TO DO SO.

PICS OF THE STORE ARE ABSOLUTELY RIFE WITH STOCK, MAX EVERYTHING; HANDBAGS, BELTS, FOOTWEAR, JEWELLERY, YOU NAME IT, WE CRAMMED IT.
