The basket ball reviewed

As I said, there is a serie of basketball shirts inspired dresses to end the summer and as a pivotal item: loose light cotton pieces, also as long straight skirts that you will see soon too, and what will develope into other garments for next year, probably.  

There is a sporty trend all over streets and magazines, official sport articles, baseball and basketball are the most worn, and of course the sneakers, but what I propose is more simple and pure, no numbers, no names, no logos. 

This model here, is on grey cotton + elastane and elastic black an pink belt.

Under The Bronze Medal Apparel array. 

Not available at the online shop, just direct purchase in Berlin during last weeks of august.

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.


P.s: I don't do cola, I do ice-coffee ;)

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 !

Morning Afternoon

Following with the lazy idea, but not in a really sense of being just laying somewhere, I was thinking about those sundays when you wake up in a natural way, you stretch in bed, get up, maybe shower or just refresh your face, put a comfortable loose skirt on, and your favourite jersey, walk the corridor till the kitchen, and prepare yourself the best brunch ever (when there was no body else to do it for you), and maybe prepare a sweet snack for later ... I was thinking about those sundays, basically, because I just miss them, and because those sundays in my life just happen in winter.

Long skirt, semi transparent, with floral pattern in red, black, white, blue and green. Easy to combine with almost any color. Material is viscose and metal, which shines with movement subtly.

Jersey is white cotton, woven so as to have very small forming diamonds. Also a bit translucent.

Below, skirt and jersey detail. Where you can see the elastic at the waist (skirt has one too, but in black).

There is still the possibility to buy thE top piece in my online shop.  You can get the jersey, as a total look with its culotte, or separated. Skirt will be available online soon.

The Lazy

Picture by Del Yelmo Photography 

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....

The Summer Vibe

Summer is for the sun, the bike, the picnics, the holidays, the mountain, the campings, take pictures, get naked, sweating, hair up, swiming, eat watermelon, fanning, naps after lunch, the festivals, be with friends, be in love. Summer is for the white color and the minimalism on your outfits.

Picture by Del Yelmo Photography 

What are your plans for summer? My summer looks busy. Looks like working a lot on different projects with/for totally different people, which I love, and I do not see proper holidays in the horizon. I do see some trips, but a half  pleasure, half working.

This dress is simple white net fabric, babydoll style, tied with a thin plastic tube belt. Ideal to combine with shorts or leggins as a blouse, tight dress underneath, a tanktop, or just how it is! Great for the beach or the lake. Fresh and comfortable. And if you love  it, you can have it at my online shop.  

Let's Dance !

Here you have an excluisve selection of pictures from last week's photoshooting. I have not uploaded this product to the store yet, but I cannot wait to show you how much I'm loving it.

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!
