Nascida na Lituânia, morando em Londres, Laura Theiss, uma designer de malharia, nos impressionou com sua recente coleção S/S-2011. Os modelos (designs) combinam técnicas tradicionais de tricotar e crochê inspirados nos figurinos do Extremo Oriente, com decoração metálica, combinações de cores inusitadas e visão futurista, nas formas femininas. Nós realmente amamos esse equilíbrio entre incríveis peças de desfile "showpieces" e, roupas para todos os dias, facilmente usáveis.
original text: Lithuanian-born, London-based knitwear designer Laura Theiss blown us away with her recent SS11 collection. The designs combine traditional hand-knitting and crochet techniques inspired by Far East costumes with metallic embellishment, unusual color combinations and futuristic, feminine vision in the forms. The inspiration behind collection was Chinese ancient legend about Dropa Discs* and their owners “visitors from the sky” whom originates from 10.000 B.C. We really love this balance between amazing showpieces and wearable, every-day clothes.
*[In the late ‘30s a team of archaeologists found in the mountains of BayanKara-Ula, on the borders of China and Tibet, lines of neatly arranged graves containing the remains of skeletons with an unusual bone configuration.
Next to them there were stone discs that looked exactly like records, with a hole in the centre and a series of grooves featuring lines of closely written characters.
Once deciphered, the grooves told the story of an alien race – the Dropas – that crash-landed in that area and, despite their peaceful intentions, were hunted down by local tribes and killed.]
**Aposto q ela teve a idéia de pintar as meias depois de assistir o filme "O Grande Homem" (The Extra Man) rs (quando o personagem de Kevin Kline pinta na perna uma meia, de graxa:) -
