ROBYN JOHNSON

The I Just Love That … Series is an exquisitely packaged book trio by talented Melbourne author/illustrator, Robyn Johnson.

Celebrating women’s eternal infatuation with accessories, Robyn Johnson has devoted the series to Hats, Bags and Shoes, to showcase some of the most delectable Australian and international designer accessories.

Artistically packaged into a shoebox, hatbox and handbag, each set contains10 themed gift cards with envelopes and a 48-page book on the subject.

Peppered with sassy quotes, historical commentary and fascinating tidbits, each book provides a well-heeled foxtrot down memory lane, depicting the cyclical nature of fashion, from vintage through to the contemporary catwalk.

Each set is a head-to toe tribute to a woman’s love affair with fashion and features a combination of illustrations, collage and photography that will appeal to anyone who takes pleasure in wearing or collecting fashionable items.

Commenting on the boxed accessories series, Melbourne milliner Peter Jago says: “Robyn’s exquisitely crafted I Just Love That… Series is a testament to her creativity and passion for fashion and design detail. At last we have a celebration of Australia’s own fashion cachet that compares more than favorably with international icons such as Dior, Jimmy Choo, Bally and Phillip Treacy.”

The stimulus for I Just Love That… Series was triggered when Robyn worked on the children's book series The Enchanted Dolls’ House, which featured many gorgeous accessories. According to Robyn, many readers commented on the vintage shoes saying ‘I just love those shoes.’

Robyn said ‘One title grew to three as it became clear that as well as having a ‘thing’ for shoes, women also adore hats, and we can’t resist a good bag!”

A former art director in advertising, Robyn Johnson now works fulltime in publishing.  Robyn is the author, illustrator and creator of the groundbreaking children’s books; The Enchanted Dolls’House, The Enchanted Dolls’ House Wedding and The Enchanted Dolls’ House Theatre which have been sold in Australia, the US, France, Spain, Greece, Italy, Hungary, South Africa and Taiwan.
