This is the blog of Astred: a vintage-loving, red-head book designer based in Sydney, Australia.
Obsessed with the 1950s and early 60s my home, dress and passion for collecting are consumed by style and objects from that period. I have been collecting clothing and homewares (especially 50s Australian homewares) for around 10 years.
I am the art director for an educational book publisher but also spend my free time designing books for trade publishers.
