To all of our LAURIE FOON followers, it is with a tinge of sadness that we are saying farewell to our LAURIE FOON label, with the winter ’09 collection – Amazing Rare Thing – being the last collection that we will produce.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support over the past 7 years and hope that you’ve enjoyed wearing your LAURIE FOON garments as much as we’ve enjoyed bringing them to you. I also hope that each LAURIE FOON piece will continue to have a special place in your wardrobe over the years to come.

Saying goodbye wasn’t easy but the decision to discontinue LAURIE FOON comes from the stronger desire to focus on STARFISH and our commitment to using fabrics, trims and manufacturing techniques that have minimal environmental impact. It also comes from a desire to simplify things so that I, and everyone else involved with STARFISH, can spend a little more time with family and friends, and focus on other things in life that are important.

Just so you know, while we may be saying goodbye to the LAURIE FOON label we promise to embody part of the LAURIE FOON character within every STARFISH collection. So thank-you once again for your support over the years, and make sure that you pop into a Starfish store to see us as I’m sure we’ll be able to find something special for you.

All the best
Laurie

At 8.30pm Saturday March 28, 2009, towns and cities throughout New Zealand and across the world will turn off their lights for just one hour – EARTH HOUR – to show that it is possible to take action on climate change.

Switching off is a simple action that can make a difference and it sends a powerful message that the people of the world care about the future of the planet.

What Can You Do?
1. Sign up at www.earthhour.org/newzealand and find out other ways that you can participate..
2. Turn all your lights off and take appliances off standby.
3. Spread the word about Earth Hour.

At Starfish we’ll be participating by turning our lights off during Earth Hour as well as giving away free candles on the day to help you prepare. Starfish designer Laurie Foon is also an ambassador for Earth Hour, spreading the word and the vision.

This week Starfish designer Laurie Foon was lucky enough to become a test pilot for the Mitsubishi i MiEV Evaluation electric car.

The car was brought to New Zealand with the support of Meridian as part of a step towards creating a better personal transportation future.

New Zealand is one of the first countries in the world to host the i MiEV outside of Japan. The car employs a high energy efficient electric motor powered by recyclable lithium-ion batteries and produces NO EMISSIONS. When we combine this with renewable electricity generators we have a carbon zero transportation.

Now there is a real alternative to the being dependant on foreign fuel imports for our transport needs. Guilt free, quite motoring!
