Schafskäse postponed

Remeber when I made a course at Central Saint Martins College last summer? I met a bunch of very cool people there. I am still friends with a bunch of them and I miss the crowd and they're all amazing. Remeber my friend Markus and his label Raspberry Cheesecake? Well, he's not the only young lad to launch his own label.

My favourite from th CSM crowd (I probably souldn't say that, but why lie?), Roberi Parra just finished his second collection. Both for men and women. And let me tell you, I lurve it!

If you're interested in his first collection, you can have a look at it here, where you can also see the rest of his spring/summer 12, called #11827. But I'd advise you to watch the video to #11827. It transtlates the feeling of the collection perfectly.

Austrian Designers #1: Mark&Julia

This is the first "episode", so to say, of a new series on Austrian Fashion designers.

Mark&Julia are a Vienna based design duo who claim that they are simply meant to work together.

"After deciding on a concept, we both take to our sheets and start drawing", Julia told me in an email. She also told me they were inspired by the 90ies, Ace of Bace, Banana-bags, cleopatra, natural colours, cords and many many more things for this collection. They then compare and conclude their designs on paper. This works so well because both have the same sense of aesthetics. Another important part of them working together, is that they inspire each other alot. Julia added that some of their designs develop whilst the sewing prozess.

By the way, Mark&Julia met during fashion school where they soon realized that they will be working together one day.

Soon you will be ablo to buy Mark&Julia pieces at NotJustALabel.

They presented their latest Collection, "Bound", at Berlin's FW "Show0711" and at "the edged showroom" at glaushaus in Kreuzberg, Berlin. They also won the "evoque style contest" in Munich and flew to Paris to shoot an editorial with some other designers for qvest Magazine. Mark&Julia also took part at the international exposition "Vision" in Copenhagen. Next stop will be Vienna Fashion Week.

To have a look at Mark&Julia's first collection (Trigonomia) go to their page.

And don't forget to check out their showroom at Vienna Fashion Week if you happen to be there. I won't be, because I'll be in Los Angeles.

But another off topic thing: On Wednesday Istanbul Fashion Week starts and I might keep you updated if I find the time.

That Indigo shoe.

Ya'll can be proud of me because I'm with the last 5 poeple to win the Indigo competition. We 5 have to produce what we designed and then someone should be winning. On thursday I got my fabrics.

Actually I handed in 3 different designes for shoes, I only have a picture of the one that got chosen, my professor has the other 2 designes. My winning design was inspired by the chemical formula of Indigo. It consists of hexagons and pentagons, so I took them as the pattern for my shoe. Pretty easy.

Indigo is the oldest way to dye fabrics. It's about a 5 week process and there are only a few Indigo dyers left in Europe, infact Mr. Koo (that's the guy who asked us to take part in his competition) is the last one to remain in Austria.

The produced designs will also be presented at our finals show on June 11th, check here to be updated.

You should also check out my other blog, the one I run with this girl. And talking about blogs: If you like music, you'll love this (It's partly in german though).

This is the second collection of a very new label called "Raspberry Cheesecake". The genius behind the label is Markus Schmidbauer a fesh young german Designer. The label is infact so fresh that the website is still under construction but if you like what you see here, have a look at this and this. There also is a video.

Covering - A love story

First of all, excuse my nearly lifelong absence. I was packed with work for University. You'll soon see some of the things I did. It involves this video, which I did with a collegue and dear friend as a presentation video for her furniture and my collection.
