All garments are made by hand, with natural materials and some with locally produced textiles.

Model: Damón Navandi

The inspiration for this collection comes from the wonder of meeting yourself as someone else and the battles in between that until you settle in peace. But also some influences from the late 80-90s street/urban/hip hop style.

Mostly I get my inspiration from feelings and thoughts. This collection is about the battles in life that will always come in small or big portions. The rough thought of it is to split up life in four parts.

When you´re born, you´ll be guided by parents and close people around you, symbolically the first outfit is inspired by protection, by that the headwear, and the shoulder jewelry is the security and strenght you get from your family.

The second part of life is the meeting, when you dare to meet "you" as someone else, and fearlessly explore yourself and your environment. The more you take care of yourself and learn the close you get to liberation, that is to be free in your own shell without despising it whatsoever!

The third part in life is the deliverance, you´ll see you as "you" and if you cherish it enough, it will never let you down.

The last thing is when you settle in peace, due to the knowledge and the wisdom you run up, nothing could break you! The last outfits symbolism is the tram and the jewelry full of colors, length, small beautiful stones like if it was a chest protection. That is: knowledge, experience, wisdom.. that is to be wealthy.

Struggle to be almighty in your own world!

..every day you see people, every person has a story with plenty of eras that you could understand just if you where that person per se.. that´s a lot of interesting storys! Sometimes books aren´t enough, there are enough tales all around you. One of my tales that I experienced so far is actually when I was networking.

I needed to se fashion, design and art through other peoples eyes. I met a fashion designer by a great chance, Heike Heldsdörfer. I asked things like a curious child would have asked. And I got honest and sweet answers back. She is also a stylist, I had the opportunity to see her work. And I loved it! This is her latest work made in the water. If you like to see more of her styling projects click on her name Heike Heldsdörfer. Nice to meet you Heike! Hope I´ll see you live soon! :)

...listen and you will understand.. yourself, the closest near by.. the world!

The inspiration for this screen print has somehow always been there for me. A faith. All meetings in life that shapes us. Bad or good are good! The idea is to illustrate a feeling about what makes me believe.. that no one is born without empathy! If I want people to treat me well I do have to treat them well as well! Of course! The golden rule! It´s simple, I don´t think there is a better one.

The illustration on the t-shirts consists of people trying to reach out an helping hand. Young, old, women, men and children! All people need each other!

This is a fabric with the same print draped on a tailor´s dummy.

A relative posing in one of my screened t-shirts, Lavin. This guy is a really inspiring person, always smiling and easy going.. you can´t be with him without laughing endlessly! He actually love to do rap music with his sweet brother Leith and are going to do a release in Gothenburg for free soon.. you could take a peek here: Lavin

..this is what I call visions captured in heaven! You could see the beauty of every individual face. Great art gives you the feeling of unity! You could almost feel like if you where a part of it. And where you could experience a feeling or a thought that you never been in touch with before!

The artist lives in a world full of fantastic images! A childhood surrounded by her fathers architecual knowledge. Images through photography, illustrations, computer generated animated graphics and so on.. The colours of her expressions are free, the images are sensual just like her. That loves and celebrate life in every different angle! This is without any hesitations her mission on earth!

"You could say "it" with colours!"

Watch the artist paint with oil and knife, unfortunately it is in french. But it´s really nice to watch how she paints anyway. Sorry about the cut screen, if you like to watch the real version go to this link Fancoise Nelly.

I found this artist by a chance. I guess that´s when you find great things. When you´re not looking for it! And suddenly it´s there.. looking at you.. some art feels like if it´s talking to you. I really enjoy the way this artist captured those expressions. I think the human body in art or just faces are very interesting and affect me a lot. The name of the blog says really what I think about faces.. that the face says it all! "WedgeHitch"=Your face in arabic. I will hunt faces alive or in art as long as I live! Because that is where I get my inspiration among other things.

This artist is also a makeup artist and hair stylist. I was really curious to read more about him, but unfortunately I can´t speak french. The site is in french. If you like to read more about him, click on his name or on one of the pictures, David Chapel.

I like the way D.C draw the lines. They look like lines but every line has its own unique shape at the same time embraced by it´s own special color!

He also does different styles very good! I look forward to see more of his work!

I haven´t talked to this artist about this collection, but in some cases you don´t need it. It is of course interesting to discuss them. But those artworks says alot. The color combinations, the techniques and the feelings the artist want to express, it is really interesting! This is just a few of his work, you could also go to his site and enjoy more of his other collections. He also do sculptures. Teshkeil

This is so cute, the facial hair removing technique aren´t the most glamourous thing to look at in real life.. but he made it look interesting!

This is also sweet, you could almost feel what the mother is feeling holding her newborn child!

When I look at Firas Albasrys art, I almost hear the music of the beautiful instrument oud... You could listen to Naseer Shamma if you want to know how oud sounds like.

Magnificent work! The clothes, make up.. the amazing way Benjamin Kanarek did shoot those pictures! The models almost look like if they were perfect wax dolls in a perfect imaginary world!

BK has also a blog, read it here "BK blog" or watch the making of this art here

Benjamin Kanarek talkes a little bit about how he began with photography here. He started at the beginning to study architecture and suddenly how he literally fell into this trade. You never know where you are going to be! But you can affect where you would want to be now!

Banksy

Banksy is a British graffiti artist, political activist and painter, whose identity is unconfirmed. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine irreverent dark humour with graffiti done in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.

I visited this artists vernissage a few months ago, she was very happy to show her paintings that are reflections of her internal and deepest thoughts.

This is her biggest hobby and she is self-taught, she is very humble and don´t approve herself as an artist. - "This is just a way to find internal peace, I´m not an artist" I didn´t agree, because art is a way to express a feeling or thought! I don´t believe people need degrees in everything! People can show feelings in different ways!

It was interesting to hear about what she wanted to express through the paintings.. and some things she said moved me and made me think about how many important things we take for granted in life, and that we should take care of and appreciate more!

In this artwork the artist want to raise the question about why women often hide and don´t value themselves. They are mostly in the background of many issues in the world! Women should´nt be ashamed of their thoughts and don´t be afraid to talk about them.. last but not least to appreciate their beauty and be proud of it!

Women are always beautiful. ~Ville Valo

..I would have said: your look, clothes, environment inspire me, but I´m also very curious of who you are.. I would have been enriched by listening to your storys..

Central Russia, this is a collection of color photographs taken between 1909 and 1912 by the photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) he took pictures of the Russian Empire with the support of Tsar Nicholas II. He used a specialized camera to capture three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red, green and blue filters. The great quality of the images, with the bright colors, make it difficult to believe that they are 100 years when the photographer captured them, neither the Russian Revolution nor World War I had yet begun. The collection are a few of the hundreds of color images that the LIbrary of Congress made available.

How Humane Are Humans?

2010-08-20T01:15:00.013+00:00

I will never find the best artist in the world, there is no such thing. When I search for inspiration I always think that people express things in their way and that is nourishing.. the most important thing is witch feeling you receive and not how the art is made.. that actually don´t mean that much.. it depends of course in what it is, but the feeling you get is what matters first! And there is thousand undiscovered feelings! No artist will be the best.. except the King Michael Jackson of course but no one could compare themselves with him! R.I.P. Every artist has a "few" nerves in every human to touch!

The more we feel and see the more we´ll develop!

I was flying home from a trip a few days ago and at the air port there was a man having severe cramps that to me that has worked in the health-care was indicating to be epilepsy. The thing is that the cramp should have calmed down after a short time but was still continuing.. and the man that maybe was in his forties stopped breathing and I didn´t find any puls neither in his arms or on the neck.. I have seen similar situations before.. but this time I was´nt prepared for it.. Of course in my desperate and unreal moment I started to prepare my mind for a CPR.. but he did take a breath seconds after that...

I tried to call for help to get health care immediately but no one reacted except the person that found him first.. and people were just walking by.. I really do´nt mean to appear like some hero or something.. What happened just happened by a chance.. maybe I would have reacted the same? The man did get help and he got better.. but the feeling that this experience gave me was indescribable!! I felt sick, disgust.. is that was our humanity of an so-called modern "fully developed" society should look like? Can´t we even help a person that is "dying" in front of us? How would they feel if that happened to them? I know that we´re not living in some kind of Disney World.. but would it cost that much to stop, take the phone and call for some help!? Nothing but the phone call! To be humane!

How humane are this creatures that is called the smartest animal on earth?

I love this artist behind this short film. I was shivering through it, it´s maybe not that advanced in it´s production.. but I felt so much by seeing it! Like how strong do we think that we are? You will never wake up some day and feel that everything is perfectly fine in you life! We should not forget how delicate we are.. flesh in movement for some years.. hopefully 70 healthy years if we´re lucky! Sad to spoil this living machine that has blood as fuel.. it should be shown more respect!

This is how the artist describes his film.

The name of it is GHOST, a study of model Natasha Poly. An investigation into the obsessive behavior of the public eye and it´s lingering effects on those chased and caught by it. The piece utilizes multiple shots, all presented head-on, giving the audience an opportunity to experience the deconstruction of an icon as it strips the beauty out of fashion. /Marco Brambilla

Marco Brambilla has also done Kanye Wests new single POWER (sorry about the cut screen, click on the link and see a better version). It was outrageously fantastic in a heavenly way! I don´t think I´ve ever seen art that incredible in my life! Like if it was Gustav Klimts art, Michelangelos, Van Goghs all together.. but in a magically touching movements! Marco was actually inspired of Michael Angelos artworks.

Are There Ideas Sellable In Jars?

Holi the festival of colors in India

Holi is a spring festival, celebrated by hindus, sikhs and others. It last sometimes up to sixteen days, also named Dhuli Vandana in Sanskrit. People celebrate it by throwing colourpowder and coloured water at eachother. It is an joyful festival, it starts around early March. The people belive that the colours represents energy, life and joy!

I was hooked on those amazing photos. The photographer are talented and the people so gorgeous in all colours! You almost feel the spirit so close, like if you where there! Joy! For some days there are no seriousness, no differens between old, young, rich or poor.. would it be so bad having more festivals in the world than all the hate among us? Where there is colours there is love!

This picture is sweet! Refreshing! ..is it just me that have this nostalgia around old-fashioned bottles, to drink cold milk or a soda from a glassbottle like older days wouldn´t be that wrong..

Dries Van Noten

"I´m a little naive but I don´t like the idea of showing things that you don´t sell in store" Said Van Noten in a interview. The brand doesn´t have haute couture, all designs are Ready To Wear.

I love haute couture.. but I´m not complainin.. the collection is F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!

I like how DVN designs in a way that brings so many influences from many parts of the world. I see ethnical colors, styles but he also brings a touch of the modern woman. Together it is so edgy, beautiful, sophisticated, fabulous, elegant..! I can go on and on praiseing those pieces that I choosed among others from Spring RTW 2010. I want every peace!

...now I´ll talk about the jewellerys.. look at them NOW! There! The Look and the jewellerys said it all! Fierce!

So much colours, so much prints but the looks are sooo harmonical to eachother anyway! Well done Dries Van Noten! Keep on the good artistical spirit of yours while I find out how, where, why.. you get your ideas!? Are they sellable in a jar or something?

M. m. M... That wasn´t any name of a brand or something, it´s still DVN.. the first letters was a sound that often humanbeings do when they really are diggin´something.. and a SNAP at the same time with my fingers for this collection.. M. (Snap.) m. (Snap.) M. (Znaaapp)!!!

Maybe I should have soundeffects next time..? ;)

Vision vs. Reality

2010-06-21T23:31:00.009+00:00

..some days of your life you´ll feel trapped in an illusion that is hard to explain and define.. no one except you exists there.. and no one could help you struggle through it.. it will make you stronger to comprehend it, you need it! And you will thank it later.. Good or bad is welcome, and it will strengthen you..

The vision is more considerable than the reality..

...it will make you dare to move forward...

..it will make you try to see things from different angles....

It will give you tools to live life..

..trust your vision of life and it will not betray you.

A Living Canvas

2010-06-04T10:10:00.010+00:00

When I sew, I sew for people. When I draw I draw people, when I paint I paint on people.. there is nothing like this living piece of canvas! There is unbelievably many and they are incredibly various.. in different tones, structures and halos..

What we cannot express by the art of thinking, by the art of science or philosophy or logic, we can and should express by the poetic, visual, or some other arts. (Naum Gabo)

I work in a meditative manner. My visual language is pulled from my unconscious and I express in my work what I cannot express with words. (Pat Gentenaar-Torley)

I´ll Dream Deep, Wake Up And explode!

2010-05-04T21:41:00.019+00:00

..I want a brake, it should go fast and easy.. and i don´t need more than a minute.. a minute of silence. Is there an opportunity for a human being to choose to do that entirely voluntary? I have no control, I just think and wish I had. If it isn´t the society that rules over me there is something else that make my heart beat..

..today is a day when my soul is outside my body.

I´m surrounded by these endless demands.

Acollian on the Behance Network

You should be solid in all weathers, if you once fall down and can´t get up then it has to be something wrong with you.. you will get a diagnose and be categorized. You will never get rid of the distributed stamps! It´s easier to sort you out now.. the stamps will form you. Be careful they are poisoning..

Toshiyuki+Enoki

I want a breathing, where I can reach beyond everything earthborn. Feel the silence for real, and I don´t want to pay anything for it. Neither money or an explanation it´s my choice.. Or is it? I want to close my eyes and pretend that all cruelty in the world was just a nightmare.

I want to drop of this world, just for a minute. And hear nothing else than my heartbeats slowly quiet and settle in silence. Flow with the water like if I was a piece of it.. to gather power to move on.. wake up and explode into an unworn shape! Being almighty my own world!

I`ll dream deep, wake up and wish that all cruelty was just a nightmare..

Fredrik Åkum

This image really captured my eyes the first time I saw it.. the first thought that hit me was: what was this great artist thinking during the making? It was so dreamy and fantastic! I just had to ask him in person. And he gave me a nice and interesting answer back. The biggest influence and source of this incredible painting was from his dreams, mostly recurrent daydreams that he had for a long time. And it´s also inspired of his real happenings in life, among others experiences with friends. This is called "Tigerstigen". Please click on the image to see a bigger size of the painting.

It´s nourishing to feel love, it´s a powerful energy to have in life! Just to meet an stranger with positive energy can have a great effect on you! Negative or positive energy from one person affects you always as soon as it enters a room! In this submission I wanted to talk about the human energy. We all have unique and different energies and we all share them through interaction with each other!

...we are in different shapes, textures and warmth.. what a natural delight!

We are creatures with many interesting disguises and with rich facial expressions! I estimate the natural beauty of people and I think it´s so fascinating how we can change our body to become art! We are like beautiful sculptures in motion.
Warm Sculptures In Natural Delights!

Let me present one of my oil/water painting that I did at spring 2000 in high school. This year it will reach it´s 10 year anniversary! The hole real painting is the one to the left at the bottom. I started to paint when I was thinking and I realised how important everybody is for eachother! And I wanted to express that on the canvas!

This elegant back almost "sings" a Barry White song.. it is that beautiful!
People should show more backs and less breasts!

There was once a day when we had a "happier" life! "It was better before" that is how it usually sounds when people are longing back to earlier days. It does`t matter that the present is our futures "past" that we someday are going to miss a lot... we are probably a bit low on enjoying what we already have instead of just lookin backwards or forwards!

Nostalgia implies that long for an often idealized past. The term comes from a medical student in 1978 Johannes Hofer, it grew as a medical diagnostic term for morbid homesicknes that some veterans experienced.

What makes it that interesting? The marked waist, feminine kurves and beautiful and smooth sexappeal! I think this is a sort of magasin that people could order clothes from. Before I knew I would blog I unfortunatly didn´t keep the links. Next submissions will be linked.

Love this picture that gives a hint of the 70s, a hint of the modern present and the early elegant CoCo Chanel look! The mature but still youthful look! Reminds me a lot of the fashionweek in Paris.

Laying on the grass, I feel the thick but still smooth straws touching my skin.. It´s summer, the sun is embracing me and I wish it`ll never let go!

....longed one day after a time that I have not even lived in, the feeling of nostalgia came over me when I looked at some old photos of my parents in the 70s. Curious about how it would have been to live at that time. Everyone has surely thought back and fantasized about whether if we would have the same personality or thoughts if we lived at a different time? What really shapes us? The environment, heritage or a combination of both?

Here are my beloved parents, relaxing at home in contemporary Baghdad in Iraq in the 70s. They were and are one of my richest sources of inspiration. My mom Fathia with a lot of clever sewing tips and my dad Rasouls sly ideas gives an wonderful combination together that enriches my life! Sometimes I don´t know where they get all the ideas from?!

This look inspire me, it´s so "glamoury-partyish" and at the same time having this "unclean" wonderful retro yellow color!

Those beautiful dresses remind me of the 70s but they still give me a feeling of a futuristic elegance.
