The first Mesh Collection

Last summer I could not finish all the pieces I wanted to make under The Mesh Label Collection project and, as I always say, at The Bronze Medal we do not follow any other thing that the projects themeselves, they are always open and not limited by seasons, years or trends. So, I finished this year all those items and they will be available very soon.

NEW MATERIAL - NEW PROJECT

Between the clouds, the crystal and the water. 

About to give birth to very special limited edition of vitreous pieces.  

p.s: looks like tulle, but it is not. 

SLOGAN / NEW PROJECT

It is official now.

While photoshooting, we came out with the idea of stretching the clothes, then covering the face and so it was. Then seeing all pictures, this sentence came to mi mind. In the begining just as a title for the post. Then yesterday I was thinking about it, I tought it was too powerfull to just be forgotten here. As I know, the idea of the out of sight, out of mind, is maybe too philosophical, some will say, for a clothes design background, but I say no, it is not too much, is perfect, just depends on what you wanna tell, if is something sincere and deep, or sometimes somethign clever, you have to be sure it will be understood, and I think I just hit the nail on the head (at least for myself as a creator). So now, from now on, besides the other project I had in mind, I will have this other one that I hope will be out in middle september. Firgers crossed for the Out of sight, out od mind project.

Whatever comes next, comes in blue

Still not 100% sure about the next pieces coming out from The Bronze Medal Apparel and The Mesh Label Collection, buy by now I can tell there is gonna be a lot of blue! These are not gonna become into winter garments, rather in somethig that on the business they call Collection Crucero in the sense of between seasons. In this case, I would say it might be a new experiment, new attemps to get somewhere else, with colors. As usual, I did not think about it, i just follow impulses, get inspiration from textures, thikness and thinness, tact, light and darkness...anf from there, work on shapes. 

Cotton, wool, lurex, polyester, metal. All tones of blue. Flat and print. Not navy but yes swinging on a north-coast image, probably mixed with deep green in some cases. Will see. 

I loved the result from The Amphibian photoshoot, for example, all bluish. So probably that was already the precedent. How knows, I cannot tell. 

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....

It is a two-pieces outfit: culotte plus jersey. Go back to the 70s on the dancefloor!
Black tassels all around the neck, black-and-transparent stripes elastic on sleeves, waists and legs. Made by The Bronze Medal, for The Mesh Label Collection.

Seeing the result, after all the work, makes it worth it and gives me energy to get ready for a new one tomorrow. I'll keep you up to date with a couple of pictures on twitter. Stay tunned!

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.
