Where does my inspiration come from? This is always a question that people ask but one that I find almost impossible to answer.
Favourite vintage pieces from Megan's personal collection
It comes from everywhere yet nowhere in particular. It is a constant progression from one season to the next. We always aim to create a new statement each season, a fresh sprit and vibe from the previous but always maintaining the essence of MEGAN PARK.

A peek into Megan Park's personal wardrobe of vintage finds!
I collect and love antique textiles. I collect with no particular season in mind and sometimes I reference something I picked up 15 years ago. I trawl Parisian flea markets and love the vintage shops of London. I love travelling and will hunt out traditional or antique textiles wherever I go. I never copy these embroideries but the techniques and intricate beauty of these works is beyond inspiring.

Love that inspiration comes from everywhere. Sometimes we forget that the everyday can inspire creativity.

What a beautiful collection. I also collect vintage textiles though mine are a little more humble in origin and tend to come from op shops. It’s kind of you to share such stunning
pieces with us.
What an eclectic mix honoring yesteryear, divine textures & fabrications, drawing inspiration form arts & crafts, diverse cultures, history & nature. A juxtaposition of old an new.
It would be a fascinating journey to experience the unveiling of Megan Parks latest “glory box”.
