Artisan baskets made in Spain: Real Fábrica Española

These artisan palm baskets or baskets made of esparto are the perfect bags for a day on the beach as well as a rustic-chic street bag

They are handcrafted in Spain and they are very typical in my country during summertime

Love them!

#Japanese style: #TOGA

Yasuko Furuta created the brand TOGA. Toga originates from the Greek word meaning “draped clothes”

Yasuko Furuta work, combines modern elements of western dress with traditional ideas of the Japanese silhouette and elegant design. Furota’s style is best defined by the use of exclusive fabrics that she has researched thoroughly both in format and application with interesting takes on concepts of volume

The essence of the silhouette provided by TOGA’s clothing is urban and avant garde at the same time and has been compared to man of Japan’s top contemporary and past designers

Love these looks from the SS'14 collection:

#African inspired #fashion: Stella Jean

 
 

The style of Stella Jean reflects and evokes her métissage and Creole heritage: blending old continent cultures with the verve of the new continent, marrying the opposites in a femininity well aware of its precious uniqueness.

Through the lines of Italian haute couture craftsmanship beats a sensual elegance, proud and aware but never ostentatious.
The designer’s signature “Wax & Stripes Philosophy” reflects a mood reminiscent of her own multicultural personal journey, translated into a stylistic point of balance, a synthesis of cultures that overcomes what seems to be diametrically opposed. “Wax” represents her maternal roots, Haiti, the first independent black republic in the world, drawing its history in part from West Africa.

The masculine “Stripes” present on shirts, symbolize the her father, from Turin. The “Wax & Stripes Phylosophy” thus professes and projects the culture of encounter: the two cultures never negotiate their own membership, instead mixing in resonse to the needs of the times. Fashion can be used as a cultural translator and a tool against colonization: reestablish the balance between symbols, stories and different worlds through style.

A succession of cultural “trompe l’oeil”, with the desire to branch into even more unexpected stylistic weddings, allowing cultural exchanges and dialogues to finally be equal.
The stylish mixture never strays into caricature or parody, remembering that knowledge and respect should never be subordinate to latitude, but instead must be a “a priority“.
