PEDRO KORSHI EXTRA - Exaggerated Shoulder Jacket With Pointed Sleeves

2013-09-30T21:29:00.000+01:00

Between a piece and another, I have been working on my spring 2014 collection, no rush and calmly I come up with different ideas of garments I want to wear right now which are not part of the collection I've been working on. I have always been obsessed with maxi silhouettes that could either be exaggerated shoulders or a pair of strong sleeves, a super high collar or voluminous back.
Just made this exaggerated shoulder jacket/blazer a couple of weeks ago, of faux leather which people use to upholster sofas and chairs, and that is how I feel when I am in this boxy jacket - like a sofa. Honestly it is not one of the most comfortable jackets I have ever had as the leather is quite stiff.
I made the decision to not line it and leave the edges completely raw, without hems and buttons because I thought it would be a good idea as the jacket itself is already ... 'shaped'.

Black Crossed Slippers

2013-09-24T22:01:00.000+01:00

As I said on the previous blog-post, it's been a changing-the-colour-of-everything week. It is not an obsession or craziness, it is just a question of aesthetic and getting tired of some colours. Well, admittedly brown is not a cool colour as well as black and also there is not a lot to expect from Ebay. Some people do like brown and do wear brown clothes and accessories and shoes but these crossed slippers in brown don't look good at all. CLICK HERE AND YOU MUST AGREE WITH ME. If you are wondering what I did to make them look much better now, simple, I simply painted them using leather dye spray on the soles and fabric ink on the straps. I like the fact they have cushioned insoles and rugged soles which make a pair of 2,5cm-platforms and more comfortable than any other pair of shoes I have ever had.

Midnight-Blue

2013-09-23T11:26:00.000+01:00

If you follow me on Instagram you might have noticed last week was a week of working with different kind of inks, I painted a pair of sandals and another of shoes (soon on the blog), some garments and even my hair was dyed Blue-black, I mean, midnight-blue - that is what the colour's called on the box of the colourant.
I don't usually dye my hair, I might have coloured it three/five times in my life, once blond, another red when I was a kid - just imagine a Nisei (second generation of Japanese) with blond hair, erm, awful, huh? I decided to dye it blue-black because the colour-of-nothing was bothering me, I wanted something stronger and more vibrant than it naturally is. I like the result just think it could be even stronger and bluer.

Ishibashi Yui - 'Humans On The Planet Plant'

2013-09-13T23:56:00.001+01:00

Ishibashi Yui is a 28-year-old Japanese artist who is based in Tokyo where also went to Tama Art University and was graduated, in 2010. Just as natural forces through out veins, plants have their own internal network for keeping themselves alive. Yui creates sculptures and paintings which show the symbiotic relationship between the human - although perhaps because of the white bodies and softness, depending on the point of view, they give the viewer a from-another planet idea/sense - and the plant world that nourishes and deplete each other. Using a variety of materials such as wood, resin, clay, stone powder, cloth and steel wire, her protrusions seem to be either painful or somehow cute. Please check out her website -

I have been getting rid of some leftover leather materials lately but in a productive way, for ecological reason as the world is full of rubbish - it could be either using them to make some accessories or attaching them to some of my garments. This time I decided to make a trouser waist to look like like there is another pair of trousers underneath.

The Philosophy Of Hands

First of all, I would like to apologize for the rare updates on the blog, as every season I work as hard as a slave - I am not complaining at all, I love my job so much and everybody knows it. Also I would like to thank BlackBlessed for the lovely t-shirt which I have been wearing since I got it and just washed it twice because I don't want it to fade quickly. Unfortunately it is not available for purchasing yet - I AM the first to own one HA.

It could be a blogger or someone who you have never seen, a Facebook friend or someone who you found on google by typing your own brand name, the pleasure is is same.

Xiang Jing

2013-06-27T12:59:00.000+01:00

Xiang Jing is a Chinese artist who were born in 1968 and is based and living in Beijing. Jing is widely known for her sculptures and paintings, gets invitations to display her work all over the world and is one of the few successful artists who excel at creating female bodies which depict the imperfection - although perfection is so relatively impossible in my point of view.
Children who are so much taller than the adults, ladies masturbating and headless women yet beautifully perfect.

Paolo Troilo 'A head doesn't necessarily need to be a head'

2013-06-09T12:32:00.001+01:00

Paolo Troilo, a contemporary artist who was born in Taranto in 1972 but lives and works in Milan.
His artistic expression consists in its originality formal, he doesn't work with a wide variety of techniques and colours, only black and white inks and his fingers.
His works are quite expressive, strong and sometimes dramatic like the attitude of someone pulling down someone's legs as if they were trying to fly - it just depends on the viewpoint - or then a human body where should actually have a nail instead. I admit that some of them freak me out a little bit, after all my eyes are not accustomed to seeing a huge finger where, scientifically, should have a head instead. PLEASE check out this VIDEO!

Headpiece

2013-06-08T11:16:00.001+01:00

The word 'headpiece' sounds so glamorous, luxurious if you certainly know what I mean. Although the 'pieces' I am focusing on on this blog post are of plastic and costed only 1 pound (sorry mum, I had to say - yes, my mum gave them to me).
I've been investing in new haircuts lately - this is probably the reason that makes my mum buy those headbands above, I never waist time thinking of new haircuts and always end up getting a classic cut.
I like how those head accessories look on a messy-hairstyle-yet-modern.
