Art works for downunder

Robyn Malcolm adorned the cover of the first-ever issue of Good magazine back in July 2008, and we are loving her latest project – Robyn’s Undies! They’re nothing like the ‘Hoochie Mama’ lingerie she peddled as Cheryl West on iconic Kiwi television series Outrageous Fortune, though. Malcolm has partnered with New Zealand artist and friend Karl Maughan, to create gorgeous undies printed with Maughan’s paintings of brightly coloured garden-scapes. All profits from the first batch of undies go to The Aunties Charity in South Auckland which helps vulnerable people, primarily women and children, who have experienced domestic violence. Each pair, $59.95, is made in New Zealand from eco-certified bamboo and printed with water-based inks.
