TORD BOONTJE/ "use what you've got"

been surfing around the net today, i came across a video by one of my design idols Tord Boontje,
he talked about how people's creativity shapes the future, and how Local is better than global and a lot of other things.
what stuck in my head however was the phrase he said which was  
"use what you've got"
i had memories flooding in me of a lot of school projects and junk art competitions, that we've had over the years, the use of junk as well as found objects to be able to create art has always been one of our favorite forms of craft. here are images of some of his work

ACCESSORIES :D

like i said nowhere to go but up,
it feels serendipitous actually, that after having decided to own up to what we can do, a former professor of ours turned visionary producer and choreographer extraordinaire Mr. Bernard Y. Maybituin, approached us for a project of his;
we have worked together before, mostly in school related events and in several landscaping and costume making projects, and he trusts us and we trust him, and we make absolute magic when we collaborate on projects.

Sir Bernard as we call him, decided to hold an event in our hometown of Angono, Rizal, Philippines, entitled La Mode Pour Nature (yes, it is grammatically incorrect, but it sounds a lot better than the proper la mode pour la nature) the show is dedicated for the protection of mother earth, expressed through an artistic fusion of fashion, dance, theater and visual arts. 
and he needed us to design accessories for the summer and swimwear collections that will be exhibited on the catwalk.
we said YES! for it has always been a joy to work for him as well as to create artworks that can be worn.
designed to bring awareness to the townspeople and to raise the standard of shows here in our town. in Filipino Slang "level up" the quality of productions in Angono (touted as the art capital of the country)


I'd love to give you guys a preview of the designs, but Sir hasn't seen them yet, so I'll just give you guys a taste of what we can do :)

these are old designs from former collections hope you like them :)
