Meg Mathews is rapidly gaining a name for herself as a highly original and creative designer in the fields of jewellery, interior design and the art of taking tea.Through her newly launched up-market design brand, Meg's creative and practical designs are already making their mark.She has designed her own unique black, fine china tea-set, Keeping it in the Family.The set is sure to transform the traditional tea-time into a really special time of day to savour.She drew inspiration for the design from the Art Deco movement of the 1930s with its stylish, clean-cut curves and geometric angles.Meg, who has a seven-year-old daughter Anais, is the former wife of Noel Gallagher from Oasis, whom she married in Las Vegas in 1997.She is planning to go out to India later this month (February 2007) to research into the best place to have this very special line produced.
But there are also even more strings to her creative bow, a unique jewellery range called Flawed, with a preference to use recycled stones as to create her own original designs.In addition, she has designed her own wallpaper, which is also marketed through Skull and Rock by Meg Mathews.
Having turned over a new leaf since her time in rehab, Meg now lives a life-style which places a strong emphasis on healthy living in the broadest sense of the word.This includes healthy eating, plenty of exercise, good food and diet.Meg, who was born in Guernsey and brought up in South Africa, was catapulted into the forefront of the Britpop scene of the 1990s' after she followed an impulse to hitch-hike to London.She moved into a South London squat - part of the music scene at the time - and soon got a job at the Great Gear market, King's Road, the epicentre of the era's Punk Rock movement.Inspired by its heady mix of music and clothes, she made the leap into the fashion industry, working for Joseph and Jones.But it was while working as a gym receptionist in Notting Hill that she met the head of A & R at WEA Records and was offered a job, which led to her forming the management company, Flavour.The label looked after producers who re-mixed household names such as Salt n'Pepa, Seal and Des'ree.Meg also set up PR Company, 2 Active, with her friend, Fran Cutler.
