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.

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. 

Make up and Dinosaurs

Today, just two bathroom moments in one: play with toys while taking a bath and the make up crazyness that invades many dressing tables and shelds, spreading the crazynesss out. But, in this case, all fake: no water, no real make up, just some plastic dinosaurs.

If you like this red top, it is available at the online shop, here. And also you have the sleeveless version of it if you like it better! Long black cotton skirt is also from The Bronze Medal, but it is already sold out.

The Mexican

Everybody looks for inpiration, does not matter where, but sometimes you just start to work on something without it, just like there is some force that makes you start and keep on; sometines you see some material that brings you a hidden inspiratiopn, and then, when you are done, and you see the result, all together, as an unity, you say "oooh, right" and you are able then to recognize details, reminiscences, to somethings that you even did not hink about in the begining. I love that way of working. And that is exactly what happened here.

You already saw this skirt before, combined with a jersey made from the same fabric like this bustier. Is unbelieveable how differetn it can look, just changing the top of the outfit. But anyway, I think both combos have a common countryside-rural-pulse on it, don't you think?

Bustier in the begining was just made for the photoshoot, as an experimental design, so not available in the online shop by now, but many people are loving it, so I am thinking about making some more with different colors, and patterns... Skirt is already sold out.

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.
