manufacturing week 49
Posted by useabrand.com Office on December 07, 2011

Very serious pre-prototype meeting with paul iby.

 



The august voting winner and fashion newcomer said: "The winner model rubella is one out of 9 shirt models. I think useabrand will do a good job on manufacturing my design".
What´s so funny? :)


New SS12 prototypes just arrived. fitting, measuring, quality check...

 


 

Fitting, measuring and testing at the same time is not an easy task (have you seen my strained face expression?).
Apart from at least 3 personal assistants, we noticed that some cute fitting models would be more than useful!
So if you have size 36, please pass by, you will help Anna to avoid wrinkles.  
 

 

Dress by leazeichnet. Just arrived and already back at the manufacturer.

 
 
 
Unfortunately we found a quality failure so we had to send all the beautiful dresses back to the apparel factory in hungry.
Sorry guys. Haste makes waste.  

 
 
More next week...

‘Vanity’ @ Kunsthalle Wien

‚NO taking pictures, please!‘  These are not really the first words I’ve expected, when I entered Kunsthalle Wien for visiting the long time awaited ‚Vanity‘ exhibition. But leaving the doors couple of hours (!) later totally rebalanced my first bad mood. Thanks F.C. Gundlach for providing your extending collection of high quality fashion photography – consisting of impressive works from early 40’s G. Hoyningen-Huene over Helmut Newton to legendary Peter Lindbergh from nowadays.                                                                              

But the exhibition’s start was, of course, dedicated to the mastermind’s himself photographs. Started off with Pop-Art-like works for Brigitte, the exhibition cleverly guides through the history of significant fashion photography. Strolling through the decent concrete halls, which pure decency let clearly focus on the work only, you come across with all decade’s most beautiful pictures, basically held in toned-down black and white tones, until you finally recognize a mash of color backwards of the venue – at least since then you know you’ve arrived in the here and now – the era of David LaChapelle, German Armin Morbach and Schuller among others.  

That fashion photography does not always have to seem acted and theatrical, the wall on the upper floor clearly proved. There is a whole wall, collaged with streetstyle pics, dedicated to mister THE SATORIALIST Scott Schuman. Nearly reached the end of every fashion-adorer’s dream, another wall full of significant magazine cover’s, collected through the decades, guide you to some couches, inviting you to browsing some fashion mag’s as the visit’s closure – for further couple of hours!
