La Baraja Gitana

Do you remember this? And this? Ok now, just a bit of the same, but different. 

Tshirt is sold, but preparing a couple of t-dresses for cuttie-dark fellas.

Berliner Woche

Simple way to star the week: news and coffee. Mondays i think, should be like this, to face the week in the correct direction. 

Sateen sweater in white and beige is The Bronze Medal Apparel -still to name project- and the snood in light pink/green/blue/yellow, is one of the new proposals of The Mesh Label Collection for winter that I am making at the moment. Some move available soon! 

Tropical Silk

I know I said summer is gone, and so it is, but I had a crush on this fabric and needed to make a sinple dress out of it. Also, I take the chance to remak that, actually, last weekend was the last reminiscnece from summer, as some say, because the week started straight with rain, again. Talking now more about this silk dress, gotta say thar the greens are so intense that the contrast between the body and the black and white trees sleeves make it look even cooler. Made it last week, and it was sold in three days ! To do not miss your chance to get a piece that you fall in love with, have a look at the online shop, visit me at Mauerpark fleamarket on sundays if you are in Berlin (new Berliner markets on the horizon, will tell in the early future) or write me directly an email to the address that you can find at the website (still not launched).

P.S: Dress was sold to a very stylish guy, that looked awesome on it. Word. 

Out of sight, out of mind

The idea that something is easily forgotten or dismissed as unimportant if it is not in our direct view.

Wir sin die Roboter

Tribute to Kraftwerk 

Pioneers in electronic music. And when i say "electronic music" I mean proper electronic, 100%. Introducing inovative equipments, loving synths, using vocoders, and other things never used for music before. They probably made possible the elctronic music. And because they made a thing from the neon too. 

I need to mention too, that I am looking forward to see this 3D video-installation at the Sprue Thmagers Berlin to see what kind of crazy invention they made this time. I have seen some images already, and I would describe them absolutely their style. With all this re-vival of old times, all this kind of antique and old-fashioned images are now at the top of the hypes, but on their case, the Kraftwerk project just remain the same, it remains on how it started almost fourty years ago. 

Yeah, all this was an excuse to say that I wanna watch this video, plus I remembered I made this pulli-dress already some time ago, from an vintage short leave jumper, just adding metallic blue long-sleeves. And I have to recognize that it straight reminded me to Kraftwerk, and nothing else. 

Of course, there is no chance to avoid the event of this weekend: the Melt! Festival, place to be for electronic music lovers... not with Kraftwerk, but yes with all those already hyper-known-names. Any other thing you do this weekend,anywhere else you do it, please, ENJOY IT! 

Palm Beach

Festival mood

I apologize because I did not updated the blog in the last five days, but I was busy preparing new pieces, and creating a very special dress that you will hopefully see really soon. 

So, following the summer vibes that mostly all of us have, and the festival atmosphere all around us, my proposal this time is a shiny-gold-cotton outfit, perfect for this summer, looking awesome combined with rubber boots for facing the common mud grounds at festivals, or just to protect the feet. This two-pieces outfits consist of a baggy-loose top and a adaptable culotte, that makes it absolutelly fresh and comfortable to freely dance in every dance floor, while sunbath.

The Amphibian

My friend came from London to participate in a performances festival happening in Berlin in the month of may. So we could not miss the chance to have some bright and awesome pictures with her wearing some pieces from The Mesh Label Collection. She and photographer got really into it, and we were done in about 20 minutes !!

This post is about the sea, about the sea in clear and shiny summer. About fishes and about sunbathe. But it is more than that, and it has deeper meaning.

In Wikipedia -> Greek ἀμφí, amphi, "both" + βíος, bios, "life". 
So it is about this two possibilities of life as well. And so about the metamorphosis that they experience. I found their "story" quite interesting. Amphibians were the first vertebrates to adapt to a life semiterrestrial. And because of that, they have been, let's say, changing.  Their evolution never stop and i would dare to say it will not, they might resist life on an hypothetically planet almost covered by water, for example.

Their skin is the key: with no hair, it protects them from sun abrasion, absorve and release water, and contributes through pigmentation changes and the secretion of substances through this, the control of body temperature. And, of course, something that we all know, that skin often acts as a defense or deterrent against predators, possessing a number of poison glands or warning pigmentation.

Short, the amphibians are a huge source of artistic inspiracióbn in all areas, I believe it is possible to express these capabilities and features that these animals have, in many media and formats, and perform analogies. Working on that !!!

You might remember the top, already used the top for The Lazy post. It is white net and has a dyed frayed jean pocket at the left side.
She took the leggins with her because they looked were ment to her body, so not available anymore, but you can still get the original and unique top HERE ! and combine it everytime in a different way. Surprise yourself wearing transparent this summer! Here in north Europe you have to be sure to make the most on the warm weather, and so with the warm-side of your wardrobe. It is not a delicate piece, so you can wear it for the beach, the mountain....everywhere !

Intercom Telephone

We had the possibility to make a photoshoot at a really old friends house, and we found really sprecial to make a vintage style, set on the 70s.  

I chose this white outfit because I think it is more than suited to the wallpaper-door-intercome corner we chose,  and how the pictures were gonna be taken.

I think it all came together synergistically in a spectacular way, almost natural. Going to be, in principle, almost anything improvised, to be a perfectly designed bearing.

 You maybe find this two-pieces outfit familiar, and you are right, it is the white version of this. And, as you see too, i combined this jersey with a long dress yesterday, on this post.

 And so, as well, now you can have it HERE ! It is a piece that people is interested on quite a lot, but some of them find it a bit expensive, and I just say: anyone else is gonna wear the same as you. I was checking the prices on the "megacorporation" brands, those who make uniforms for us, so that we look exactly the same, and so we can feel we belong to soemthing, or whatever, and those prices are exactly same, and with some pieces higher. I say "look, i am my own boss, I dont want to be the worst boss in the world and exploit myself and pay myself ridiculous amount of money for my work.

It is our decission, but we should think about all this a litte longer, from time to time. At the end, a person who questions my job, is not the customer I want, because he/she can not appreciate things.

The Lazy

I did it. I stood in bed longer than expected. Alarm supposed to ring at 8:30am, I might had just turn it off and keep on with my dreams. I guess my body was like "ok, yeah, f*uck you, i need to rest properly" after the last hardcore days, full of stress, work, activity and with no much time for relaxing. But it is over now, gotta get into work hard, for the whole weekend, nonstop.


For those lucky ones who can have a proper rest, and stay longer in bed, please, ENJOY IT!
Summer is here already, isn't it?

Now listetning....

Start my modest Way

No more "coming soon", now here comes the first post! 

When you start with the plan of developing a clothing line, you have loads of ideas about what you wanna make and what you do not wanna make; what kind of materials and patters you are going to put together. 

When you start with the plan of developing your own business, everything is a mess, you need to create your organization system and you do not know where to start. Besides the communication and promotion or the selling attempt, first of all comes the image you want to show. And so this is mainly the reason why the first post of yuor blog is kinda complicated.

At least, this is the way I see all this right now. 

Having no idea about the formal or popular or common or most normal way to star here with this, I will just start my modest way. And for that, I have to explain why I chose The Bronze Medal as a brand name. 

As Wikipedia explains, bronze is an alloy consisting primarily copper, usually with tin as the main additive.
The introduction of bronze was significant, constituting the most innovative alloy in technological history of mankind.
Bronze has been used in the manufacture of medals, and now the bronze medal is known for being awarded to the third-runner up in sporting competitions and other events. And is really interesting to find out that, the usage was in part attributed to the choices of gold, silver, and bronze, to represent the three Ages of Man in Greek Mythology: The Golden Age, when men lived among the gods; The Silver Age, where youth lasted a hundred years as children without growing up, then suddelnly aged and died; and the Bronze age, the era of heroes. Modern historians categorize the Golden Age and Silver Age as mythical, but consider the Bronze Age and Iron Age historically valid. 

So the idea of the bronze as the third price is an interesting meaning in contrast of its historical meaning. I think that idea is pretty much what The Bronze Medal wants to develop, because The Bronze Medal is not an ambitious brand in the sense of reaching as much public as possible, not following established trends but the style lines, and that is reflected in the designs. 

The Bronze Medal dicides by now in two, The Bronze Medal Apparel and The Mesh Label Collection. And in none of them are forced movements, uncolntrolled ambitions, there are just ideas still developing every day, seeing the progression in every piece. 

As the Age of Bronze, the age of heroes, no gods, just powerful humans, The Bronze Medal looks for bringing this power from your the inside to your outside. I hope it can reach that goal.
