Kimonos super limited edition. Last batch now on website. @rit.kit.tattoo looking good in it and getting ready for a little collab we have in mind 🍀 #artistcollaboration

Checking the first embroidered patterns. It’s always a forth and back between ideas and sketching them and then seeing the fabric embroidered. The next step is to fill up the empty space with more detailed lines, curves, and let the whole work slowly reveal itself. Then at some moment I step back and go: „oh, it’s already 6?“. And that’s how I know the work is done. Maybe I’ll add a few more details tomorrow. Or maybe it’s just right the way it is. Not sure, ask my cat. She usually has a better feeling for when I’m actually done with a piece.

Introverted Alien Toca Unisex Jacket⁠ ➖⁠ This jacket probably one of the most liked wearables in our Antidote Collection, it has a special pocket from @toca_sleeve with Faraday Cage that blocks GPS, Wi-Fi, RFID, NFC, 3G, 4G, 5G, Bluetooth, and calls.⁠ ➖⁠ More details on the website. You know where is the link!

What happens when two creative fields collide? Collaborating with artists from completely other fields is always exciting for me. Curious about the upcoming collab with @Rit.kit.tattoo X @oleukena / @oleukenastudio. Rita developed her signature tattoo style by placing real plants on to the human body and became an Internet phenomenon adorning bodies with nature‘s shapes. Tattooing seems like a very different universe than textile art but in the end of the day we are punching needles into surfaces we have as our skin or on top of our skin. Now I will experiment what happens when embroidery meets Rita’s world and my work enters the game. 🧐 🎶 @laurenlanequestionmark - La Cuesta

Teamwork is key. Most really amazing things you can only build with a solid team. These guys are the reason I made it even this far and attempt to push it further and further.
