Factory || Primitive x Erik Hart

~Dodo~Ananya~Joel~Moi~

 Returning back to Primitive for another exhibition hosted by Erik Hart. 

He designed the interior of the exhibition himself creating metal structures inspired by architechture with Mylar thermal blankets.

 I loved how he used the whole space, placing his garments on different levels, allowing you to take your time actually analysing the beauty of the garments from different angles.

You can check out the whole collection here.

We were told that we were allowed to play about in/with the blankets only to find out later that there were surveillance cameras which were hooked up in the exhibition & linked to a projector inside the store.

 

Thanks to the boy who broke the mic we then called it a night. (He was lovely though~)

The cool Japanese crew, one of them was a tall man with extremely long healthy hair who i kept meeting eyes with. Just as i was telling my friends how cool he looked he came to the station to catch the last train and we ended up talking. Turns out he's the designer of a London based menswear label called BREAKS.

The Man is Andrew Grune, Who duh man, he duh man!

We were singing 'Can't nobody - 2NE1' So the edit is relevant

~MC Randa~

"Guess who's back with a brand new rap?!?" "RANDA PANDA, RANDA PANDA!" That was the call and response i used to do with my maths class almost every day as soon as i entered for a whole year, i miss those days.

Is that Randa thoo~

As the event went on into the night everyone had a bit more to drink and the karaoke was summoned. Songs were sung from Disney's mulan, to Nicki minaj to Kate Bush (which Lui does the best cover of!)~

Everyone there were really friendly and lovely. I wish i got to speak to them all.

I look forward to attending future exhibitions~

TEN || Primitive x Nadir Tejani

Pretty much stole all of Joels pictures for this post~ 

Anywho, on the 20th of June me and the crew were invited to the re-launch of Primitive London which unveiled their latest collaboration with Nadir Tejani: TEN.

For many of who don't know about Primitive London they're composed by the lovely Lui Nemeth and Andrew Grune. 

'Primitive London is a network of underground designers, artists and musicians that collaborate to create fashion, art, events and parties around the world. Dissolving the line between fashion and art, Primitive is an ever-evolving phenomenon promising the customer the leading edge.'

Currently stocking: Ambush, Ava Catherside, Balmung, Banzai, Cassette Playa, Cottweiler, Nano Aoshima, Primitive, Underground Shoes and many more to come in the future~

This collection has drawn it's inspiration from the geometrical Primitive logo, each piece in the collection's number of pattern pieces corresponds to it's place in the collection; for example #1 Hat is built from 1 part of the logo and #10 Coat is built all 10 parts of the logo.

The fashionisto has written a good entry on their collaboration including pictures of the 10 piece collection.

~Check it out~

Ten has brought together the two brands ethos: simplicity, functionality and community. Success~!

Badmans on road, don't watch!
I miss Joel so much ;A;


Although, London is seen as one of the fashion capitals, it can't compare to Tokyo. We may have alot of  praised upon designers, however, a lot of them are not as known. Camden's lost it's unique vintage shops, punk's that used to stud their jackets in the streets, it's all just a tourist attraction with shops copying each other, people have lost their passion for fashion that they truly love (We still have Happy Shack though 8D) we're missing unique cult stores. There're so many amazing underground designers out there that deserve to be noticed, we need cool boutiques like Fake Tokyo or DOG.
(sorry for the little rant)
I'm so happy we have Primitive London, it's a start <3
