Ser medianamente organizada en el mundo 2.0 y tener el ordenador "colapsado" por millones de carpetitas distribuidas en diferentes temáticas tiene su lado positivo, además de caótico. Y es que de vez en cuando te topas con maravillas como ésta que trístemente te das cuenta que han desaparecido de la faz de la tierra "fashionista". Y yo, que me he propuesto rescatarla del olvido, os quiero mostrar su última colección allá por la primavera/verano del 2012... Sí, ya se que no voy a poder ser capaz de satisfacer vuestra sed de consumismo, pero estoy segura que sí conseguiré hacer el equivalente por vuestro amor a la inspiración.
FREI DESIGNS aúna diseño, comfort y sostenibilidad para crear una colección etérea, extravagante y por supuesto, preciosa; con las Geishas de los años 30 y los auto retratos de Frida Kahlo de los 40 en mente. El resultado: interesantes estampados y combinaciones lisas con discretas mezclas de color. Las lineas simples y limpias de la colección se contraponen a la complejidad de los cortes y la sofisticación de las siluetas asimétricas así como los conjuntos de sastrería y drapeados.
Diseñado y fabricado en Chicago, la diseñadora Annie Novotny pone especial hincapié y cuidado en la elección de materiales y técnicas orgánicas y sostenibles. Así, vemos como su última colección ha sido realizada utilizando algodones orgánicos, tintes naturales y tejidos elaborados localmente; así como tejidos vintage pertenecientes a stocks ya pasados o botones realizados a partir de conchas o nueces.
Cada temporada comenzaba con una historia como punto de partida. Ideas que se dibujaban a partir de sus propias experiencias, sus viajes, sus lecturas diarias y sus estudios sobre historia. Desde el colonialismo en las obras de Gabriel García Marquez hasta la fotografía de luto del siglo XIX. Su objetivo es la enfatización del arte a través de la naturaleza.
Being well organized in terms of networking, internet and computers is quite difficult and chaotic but positive and possible if you manage to have all your millions of files perfectly tidy and labelled. One of those amazing moments is when you come across the rediscovery of a fashion label that has sadly disappeared. So my aim today is to revive it. And although I´m not gonna be able to satisfy your thirst for consumerism, I truly hope to do the equivalence with your love for inspiration.
FREI DESIGNS merges design, comfort and sustainability to produce a beautiful, ethereal and whimsical collection of great beauty, with the inspiration of the early images of Geysha´s from the 1930´s and Frida Kahlo´s self portraits from the 1940´s. The final result: very interesting prints and plain combinations with subtle color combinations. The clean simple lines of the collection belay the complexity of the cutting, the sophisticated asymmetric silhouettes and draped and tailored pairings.
Designed and manufactured in Chicago, French designer Annie Novotny puts special care and consciousness in the choice of organic and sustainable materials plus natural design techniques. This way we can take notice of how her latest collection has been fabricated using mostly organic cottons, natural dyes and locally manufactured textiles; as well as vintage dead stock fabric, mill ends and organic buttons made of shells or nuts.
Each season began with a story. Ideas where drawn from experiences in travel, literary inquisition and, most important, historical study. From the colonialism in Gabriel García Marquez books to nineteenth-century mourning photography. Her main aim is to emphasize artistry through nature in everything they do.
