Water: Magnified Fluidity in Motion

Posted on Wednesday, April 16, 2014

There's fashion photography. And then there's underwater fashion photography.

The effects of adding even a little bit of H20 does amazing things to a photo's WOW factor. Curiously...no one's wearing goggles.

All for the amazing effects you'll see in some of the coolest underwater fashion photos we've scoured from ze Web.

Amazing, isn't it?

By the way, we are looking forward to designing a water-inspired piece as part of our upcoming pieces. Without the underwater photog...

Peeping through the Jungle

Posted on Monday, April 14, 2014



Featured Item: Our "Bamboo Dress" (hand-painted to mimic bamboo silhouettes)




Shall we take a walk in the jungle?

One of the subthemes we wanted to explore was the essence of trees...bamboo to be exact.

Wait! Turns out...bamboo's actually a type of GRASS not tree.

Oh...and don't underestimate its health benefits for our little Earth: our lanky friends are capable of releasing 35% more oxygen than an average tree. Take that. Tree.

Awesome pics of Trees/bamboo:

Mossy Fuzzy Moss

Posted on Friday, April 4, 2014

Moss, moss, moss, and moss.

While not the exact focus of our upcoming collection, the natural beauty of the Bryophyta division members have rendered them a deep place in our warm fuzzy hearts.

Counting up to about 12,000 different species, the members of the Bryophyta moss division tend to grow in moist conditions, most of them requiring dampness and shade.

Because of the species' ability to adapt and its easiness to grow( it only requires a bit of moisture and sunlight), we urbaners have even witnessed moss growing in between concrete stones and on buildings.

For now though, let's concentrate on the natural beauty of our complex fuzzy friends.
