The Bruise(s)

According to Wikipedia, a bruise is a type of hematoma of tissue in which capillaries and sometimes venules are damaged by trauma, allowing blood to seep, hemorrhage, or extravasate into the surrounding interstitial tissues.

As a type of hematoma, a bruise is always caused by internal bleeding into the interstitial tissues which does not break through the skin, usually initiated by blunt trauma, which causes damage through physical compression and deceleration forces.

Well, so one day at the market, just as another, searching for new fabrics I visited this two-men-couple that sell fabrics in different markets in Berlin, that normally have at least one or two interesting ones. This time, there was a lady before me who wanted some meters of a dark green fabric, and so the man opens the roll, becasue it was new one and, for my surprise, the first 3 meters were dyed mistakes/color tests and it looked awesome! so he started to unfold it super fast and I knew he was about to leave it on the side for maybe covering other rolls and protect them, so I was fast as well to say " I want that". He looked at me and straight said "present" while folding it and giving it to me. 

This story just to explain where I got these fabrics, why they are so special, and to let you know that, if you got one, or see someone with one of these, they are more unique than ever because the print was just accidentaly unrepeatable. 

I let them in the Black-bleck-blick-block-bluck project, combinig it with back cotton and elastic jersey fabric to make two sweaters and one sweater-dress

All are sold out. 

♥ Thanks to all my costumers♥ 

       

Trekkie Blue

A single picture today... no much time for updating properly, one million things in my head and on my hands, which seems to be my official excuse last weeks (and months). Well, is well worth it to say that this sweater is still available at the online shop, here, and so it's trekkie bro in yellow. 

More black-bleck-blick-block-bluck next week! 

TURACO

As many or most or at leas some, let's say, ideas and posts here come by accident, or chance, so that happened here. While making photoshoot for some black, bleck, blick, block, bluck pieces, we used one pf those fake nose with glasses and nose, all in one, and we actually loved the shoot. And after, checking them all, i loved it even more. And so with that sweater it seemed to work perfectly, as you have many times heard me say "as it was ment to be". Straightaway, I thought about a bird, and started to look for birds images on google and found this beauty one, called turaco.

Following the wikipedia entry, the turacos are noted for peculiar and unique pigments. The turacos are brightly coloured birds, usually blue, green or purple. The green colour in turacos comes from turacoverdin, the only true green pigment in birds known to date. 

They are gregarious birds that do not migrate. Many species are noisy, their go-away-birds common name refers to being especially noted for their piercing alarm calls, which alert other fauna to the presence of predators or hunterscommon name refers to this

This black-bleck-blick-block-bluck sweater is already sold out, and it was an unique piece, but you can have a look at the other models here and maybe fall in love with another one, or directly checking whats for sale at the online shop.

Pont de L'archeveche

You will remember these skirts from the meditrerranean nostalgia post and on a different color from the mexican look. 

While in Paris, when a friend saw these metallic-bright skirts she suggested me to make some pictures in one of those bridges across the Sena full of lovers lockers because of the similarity, and I think it was a magnificent idea ! The locks and the metallic shine of the skirts fabric just worked as being ment for that. Have to say that even I do not like this place, now it looks amazing! it took us a while to have two seconds without tourists making pictures and passing by there, but at the end it was all fast becasue we had to move fast! 

The Mesh Label Collection skirts are not available at the online shop, but the white jersey that goes with does still, here. 

Bus to 1492

Usig the same outfit than yesterday, still in Paris, we passed by this Liberty Statue stencil dressed as a native american and, instead of holding a table with the date of the declaration of independence in Roman numerals, a date: 1492, the year that Cristobal Colón and his ships arrived in what they called the new world and is known historically as The Discovery of America. For others, that was the begining of a colonization and exploitation. 

Well, political ideas on the side, I liked a lot the stencil, and there was not so much street arton this area, and and I thought it fit with the colors of the outfit, the light from that day, and the bus stop that we spotted before.

La France

Blue. White. Red.

You remember I traveled to Paris, so I took some pieces there to show to my friend and other people there, and we were taking some pictures in the neighborhood. We found this beautyful red door and just by chance it came out as the France flag, such a coincidence!

Path in Silver and White

I like to show new fabrics, you know. I gave some clues before too, about the tones and the atmosphere I am working on, and these here are specially for The Mesh Label Collection new ideas. More metallic, more white, rigid silver and soft white is my bet for this. Non stop. Ideas getting stronger. 

More coming soon. Stay tuned and have an awesome weekend. 

Ball on Basket

I start to like making gifs...this is the second one, after this one. 

While making pictures, some kids were playing there during school break, and so this ball came to us and model just caught it with the basket we were using for photos, it was actually what we were doing so it absolutelly fitted with the situation and kids found that very funny too. 

You can see the complete serie of the dresses here, and soon coming on the website too, but not ready yet.  And remember that these pieces are not available in the online shop. 

The Basket and The Ball

This is the third basketball shirt inspired dress, in baby blue with camo green and elastic white ribbon belt. 

 I can also tell here that this one in particular, gives a little clue about what is coming now for early north Europe autumn, some new garments in blue, all kind and tones, mostly flat colors and soft fabrics, as cotton and wool. Easy wear, comfortable and offering wide combination possibilities. Looking forward to show you the new items, at the begining of september. 

For this photoshoot, we wanted to play basketball for real, and we were sure there was a basket place here, but no, there was just two football ones, so we had to pretend and, at the end, i think it came out a better way and idea of it. Plenty delight. 

These are pieces under the apparel section of The Bronze Medal and, as the rest, it is not available at the online shop by now, just Berlin direct purchase.

The basket ball reviewed

As I said, there is a serie of basketball shirts inspired dresses to end the summer and as a pivotal item: loose light cotton pieces, also as long straight skirts that you will see soon too, and what will develope into other garments for next year, probably.  

There is a sporty trend all over streets and magazines, official sport articles, baseball and basketball are the most worn, and of course the sneakers, but what I propose is more simple and pure, no numbers, no names, no logos. 

This model here, is on grey cotton + elastane and elastic black an pink belt.

Under The Bronze Medal Apparel array. 

Not available at the online shop, just direct purchase in Berlin during last weeks of august.

Basketball Shirt

I am a absolute fan of loose and big clothes, such as sweaters and men shirts that I use as dresses, and that is one of the reasons why I like warm weather: the fact of wearing long shirts and anything else, all day long, even to ride my bike. On the other hand, simple cuts are always a nice and safe bet and cotton looks and feels good on the skin, so that was the main reason to make a small serie/collection basketball shirts pattern dresses with elastic belts under The Bronze Medal Apparel, to combine simplicity with comfort without forgettting about the female body shape. 

So I made three colors, and today I wanna show you the dark green dress with the electric-blue and black belt. 

As it is having a warm welcome already in Berlin markets, it is not gonna be available at the onlineshop by now.

Overflowing

Life is beautiful, sometimes more than others. After I do not know how many years without proper holidays, today I am heading to the yet-unknown-for-me Paris for some days and I feel overflowing. But even I say holidays, will bring some Bronze Medal's pieces there to see how they work with parisian look and ambient. Goota say that french costumers loved The Bronze Medal in Berlin, let see if they do as well in Paris. 

Will tell everyhitng about it when I am back.

Black and white sunset

Yes, still working on next steps I rescue this pictures made this summer in Berlin Tempelhof airport, because I foresee these tones everywhere, even where there were supposed to be the oranges and the blues. 

Jersey is The Mesh Label Collection, seen here, here and here in the two different versions. It is actually amazing how versatil it is, as I realize I have used it almost as a key piece. Elephant leg trousers are from The Bronze Medal Apparel's next spring/summer proposal.
