The Jackets
The patchwork design is a celebration of Lynns passion for colour. Using a simple classic shape, each jacket is individually created with up to 20 different fabrics collected from her travels. Pieces of antique sari, Italian furnishing fabric and Thai silks. The colour harmony and richness of textures ranges from the delightfully subtle to the more exciting vibrant combinations. As in colour therapy, the right choice for you, creates that feel good factor and can do wonders for your self esteem.
Story Jacket
The creation of a story jacket is unique process that is almost like a meditation. Lynn does not work to a fixed plan. She starts with one small detail that inspires her and then builds the jacket from there. She invents textures using fabric and thread. Images, symbols or poems are often included. It is rather like telling a story that she has told before, but always inventing and elaborating with new inspirations as they come. Some jackets take up to 3 days to complete. When she gets lost in the process of transforming cloth into garment, Lynn produces a garment with soul! Practical and WearableArt
For all their artiness, there is a strong emphasis on the comfort, wear-ability and practicality of the designs, so that they are durable as well as timeless. They can be stunning for a special occasion or worn casually with jeans. However you choose to wear a TIALIN jacket, their appeal reaches all ages and sizes. Each piece is individual and has its own unique character. Lynn thoroughly enjoys making each special jacket and hopes that the wearer will feel special in one of her creations.
