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.

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.

Inspiration I

The  Mesh Label Collection is based in a few rules, let's say. The foundation is the material. The principles are: at its 75% pale colors as white, grey, or pale pink and the use of all kind of clear, translucent, lucid, crystallin, vitreous, thin, sheer fabrics or materials. The lines and patterns are simple. The Mesh Label Collection is proclaims minimal outfits. 

It was actually a lucky find, unexpected. I never thought about all this until I started to work on other stuff, and I found how meaningful this kind of materials are. 

So, all this just to show some interesting pieces from other designers. I already knew Paskal and Seiya Chen (thanks to Susie Bubble and her blog), but thanks to Not Just a Label (community that I am about to join soon) I recently met This is the Uniform, a UK based new brand, pretty interesting silk pieces that I appreciate. 

Sometimes I think that if I am trying to make a wearable clothing for women, transparent garments are maybe a bit too much, and that it is just possible on catwalks and so on, but no, is really pleasant to see how many other designer interpretate this and theis proposals to the real day-by-day apparel. Now i think is just a matter of time maybe, that we get use to this kind of clothes by introducing little by little some pieces and combinig with also other clothes underneath, for example, because it is not all about showing your body. 

I also have to say, that I did not get inspired by any of these designs and graphics, I just found them similar, so I chose them for this first post about inspiration. By now my only inspiration are the materials I find. By now I work on materials that I randomly find, not on planned desings.

The Mesh Label Collection

This shorts are made by white net fabric (initially courtains fabric) and the graphics on the bottoms are pieces cutted out of potatoes mesh bag, material that brought the inspiration for the name of this clothing line.
