I don’t have much to offer in the way of commentary on Vienna based design collective, House of the Very Island’s, so instead I’ll just express my appreciation for their skillful use of texture, print, and layering (click the image above to enlarge). Be sure to check out the archive section of the site, too
Apologies for having no memory of where I found this label. I’ve had it bookmarked for awhile and didn’t make any note. Anyways, pretty things from Norwegian label, Fin whose clothing is stylish while being sustainable
I’ve been a bit long-winded lately, so instead of commentary today, I’ll just let you enjoy the pictures and click the link to Painted Series to learn more! Four photos after the jump
The designers of ffixxed found Pour Porter through a google search for Fabrics Interseason, and correctly assumed I’d be interested in their pieces. I usually ignore marketing emails as they rarely line up with my personal taste, but this pair piqued my interest with their pieces and the fact that they’ve collaborated with Bless and have been featured alongside Fabrics Interseason and Slow and Steady Wins the Race.
The duo behind the label are Australians who have worked out of Hong Kong, Berlin, and New York and just released their second collection. While I wish their items were easier to browse (designers, it is possible to make an arty website that is well designed and easy to navigate!), they’ve plenty of interesting projects to peruse, and I’m excited to watch them develop. Thanks for the email! Remember to click the images to enlarge
So the concept behind Mashallah design and Linda Kostowski’s T-Shirt Issue project is relatively simple, but the results are anything but. So how exactly do you get a sweatshirt with a protruding wolf’s head? Digitally scan three people to get a three-dimensional rendering of their bodies, add some personally relevant biographical detail for each of the scanned individuals, transform their 3-D doppelgangers into a 2-D pattern and you get something utterly amazing. Sculptural, biographical, and the product of machine generated logarithms. I’ll say it again: amazing
