January 2014 Barcelona dates

4th January CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER

Back to the streets and markets in Barcelona after the winter holidays pause ! By now, these are the upcoming dates/events and places, probably a couple more dates in february and then OFF TO BERLIN! Going back home in middle february, so if you wanna catch The Bronze Medal you better write down these dates, but if you already checked something that you like you can still email me to thebronzemedalapparel@gmail.com or check the onlineshop. 

And....

Thinking about SALES
 

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.

MORE TO COME!

Having the blog is really cool because that allows me to explain and show large photoshoots from the clothes, but there is a need as well to have a static kind of thing, such as a website. So that is what I am working on right now. I am using  the same image I used for the blog coming soon, because I loved it! 

Besides this, I am working too on The Bronze Medal profile at the great desogners platform Not Just a Label, where I found loads of awesomeness. I have to revognize I felt a little overwhelmed because of that, but then I thought "f*ck off! why not? I am able to make The Bronze Medal as awesome as its name says". The truly bronzes are not afraid of not being the golden ones, they so not want to anyway.

So, yeah, I am pretty busy these days, but still saving some time for showing you some new pieces this week. STAY TUNED !

Roses to the Fir

As I said, here are the color pictures slected from the Roses to the Fir photoshoot. 

Just to remember that skirt an cape are designed and made by The Bronze Medal for The Mesh Label Collection. The grey chiffon skirt is already sold and the pale linen cape is not for selling at the moment, but you can still have a look at the online shop and see if something else fits with your style! And also that all pictures are made by Del Yelmo Photography, The Bronze Medal apparetly official photograper! 

It was funny, this weekend i met the gork who bought the skirt and she wore it last week twice! happy about her delight wearing it, and she also mentioned that some guy told her "I can see you". Yeah,"I can see you too" I said. That is the Mesh Label Collection philosophy. 

Roses to the Fir (The weirdos)

It seems like I keep with some kind of rituals this week, but no, I promise it was not meant to be like that.

For this photoshoot, we just wanted to simulate the like pulling teeth saying, to make something certainly difficult, so we used the title (begging) Roses to the Fir, as that is something imposible as far as we know. So actually there is no any trace of a ritual here, as a ritual means a set of rules for worship and religious ceremonies, and we wanted to say better to actually try it by yourself.

Today I wanna show you the weirdos that came out from the original photos, or those wich suppose to be the good ones, that I will post next week. 

Of course, skirt an cape are designed and made by The Bronze Medal for The Mesh Label Collection. The grey chiffon skirt is already sold and the pale linen cape is not for selling at the moment, but you can still have a look at the online shop and see if something else fits with your style!

RUN RUN RUN

It is, in efect, very weird also for me to be posting this gif plus a song and the lyrics in a joy spirit, but f*ck it, just some fun!  Such fun as we had making the full shooting.

  

Marguerita Passion had to get her fix

She wasn't well, she was getting sick

Went to sell her soul, she wasn't high

Didn't know, thinks she could buy it

And she would run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two

Run, run, run, run, run

Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

Seasick Sarah had a golden nose

Hobnail boots wrapped around her toes

When she turned blue, all the angels screamed

They didn't know, they couldn't make the scene

She had to run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two

Run, run, run, run, run....

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.

Outfit by The Bronze Medal for The Mesh Label Collection. Two pieces withe woven cotton. Might remember the jersey from this, but this one here has tassels at the neck. Get it at the online shop. Stretch tube skirt available soon. Designed and made in Berlin.

Model: Out of Sight

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. 

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.

This outfit has a discount because of summer sales, included in our WILD SALES! Not available in the online shop, just available for direct sale at berliner markets. 

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 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.

Picture by Del Yelmo Photography 

 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.
