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.

Bring the Mediterranean

From the Latin Mar Medi Terraneum, meaning "sea in the middle of the land", known for the Romans as the Mare Nostrum, "Our Sea". The Mediterranean Sea has been a key to the history, witnessed battles for control of its coasts and its navigation.
And because of this common history, there are somehow similarities between the different populations bathed by this sea. The Mediterranean culture is a fact, including at the highest artistic and literary productions to more everyday customs. One of its most striking peculiarities is its warm climate, and this makes possible the warm-blood-character of the population and the food from the region. 
A mediterranean is addicted to which the sea provides without even being aware of it until it has been far and misses. The mediterranen manners are different, and we realize when we are away. 

I wanted to make this introduction because is need to be said, that as I had this fabrics in my hands, some ideas came to my mind: olives and grapes; oil and wine. So this had to be this way. 
By chance, in my friend's kitchen they hava a crazy wall paper that actually represents a coast, seen from some kind of terrace. 
You might remember this fabric, in other colors combination, from this post and from this one too. I just decided to get all the colors availables and make a complete serie of these, because seems like people are loving them! even though not being unique pieces, there might be just a limited edition not decided yet, but around 5 from each color and, of course, signed by The Mesh Label Collection. By now, not available in the online shop, just available for direct purchase in Berlin.
