Recently Kendrick Lamar was in town, admittedly I have only started listening to his music in the last 3 months, but became an instant fan. It was great to get him measured up, he also performed at London, Hammersmith Apollo wearing the Full Leather Baseball Jersey on stage.
Its always nice to work with people, that you have respect for.
He was later spotted in the RSMA-1 Jacket, and also did a parody video wearing it. It seems he also has respect for what I do.
From the research I did, I wanted to create some prints, to apply to cut and sew t-shirts. One of them was to do the perfect gradient tee, the perfect fade away. I got some assistance from a Surface Pattern Designer to create what I wanted.
We had some initial problems, with digitally printing the gradient, then we tried the more traditional method of dip-dyeing. Still unable to get the perfect fade... we combined some techniques and created the desired effect.
The final outcome will be for your viewing very soon.
.... is almost ready to show you all, doing 2 collections in the space of 3 months has been quite tricky, especially as im a one man team, most labels have a few people and 6 months. However its nearly done and its looking good.. Each season, will get stronger and stronger, as the use of different techniques are continuously being discovered. SS13 is initially based on a book by Gregory David Roberts called Shantaram. An epic read and something I can relate and vision as it was based in my Granparents home town of Mumbai/Bombay. Hope you are as excited as I am.
Happy New Year all, hope you have a Wonderful Year. We have decided to continue the sale of the Waxed Leather Sleeve Sweater til the 27th January 2013, available online to purchase click HERE.
