STEEL STYLE


















It's a simple equation.. 
said in simple terms..
by a man not so simple..

"Fashions fade, Style is eternal"
Yves Saint Laurent

This is what makes these girls (and so many others) special, unique & STYLISH..
They have an ability to create & re invent looks .. It's like they are Realities Style Models...

We hope that more & more ladies look into their hearts & think twice before deciding to buy that piece that will make them look like a copy paste of H&M's catalogue.. if you really can't help not buying it, try personalizing it with some badges, brooches, maybe even wearing it in a different way.. 
Remember keep it different, keep it you & most of all keep it real!

THE HOMMOS

Greetings to all our followers, random readers, soon-to-be fans, stockers & other,

We are happy that you've gotten this far to finding our blog & going through it (what it is so far) .. Please feel free to judge us & leave comments (constructive ones) 

Briefly we are 3 girls who questioned the existence of something more to life than a 9 to 6 job, food courts & malls; so we've devised ourselves a hobby that uncontrollably developed into our obsession.

With diverse cultural backgrounds, graphic design fetish & a film production fixation, we've managed to channel it all into a CONCEPT concept! 

CHICKPEAS

A "brand" thats sole purpose is to produce "un-mainstream" items! be it clothes, accessories, photography ... anything
WHY? well we're fed-up, bored & think that there may not be anymore space for human reproduction but there most definitely is a lot of space for design exploration..
The world needs more options.. a bigger visual gallery... it needs to look at new & different things all the time .. to grow.. it .. well I think Malvina Reynolds can say it the best:

HIT IT!

1. Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

2. And the people in the houses
All go to the university,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
And there's doctors and there's lawyers
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.
3. And they all play on the golf-course,
And drink their Martini dry,
And they all have pretty children,
And the children go to school.
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
And they all get put in boxes
And they all come out the same.

4. And the boys go into business,
And marry, and raise a family,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.


Until next time..

xoxo

The XOXO Effect

Hi, my name is Coco, and I will be bringing you regular updates (almost regular) of things I like. New collections, design, art, fashion, music and movie reviews.

There is no beauty without strangeness!

Let me tell you about Antonio Marras. I love his new collection. The layered soft pieces, the patterns and Japanese floral designs, looked like it was something out of the 1920s.

Check it out www.antoniomarras.it

I saw a posting on ASW, for an art exhibition for Graffiti artist Maximillian Wiedemann called Vanity Unfair.














His work explores the dependent relationship between pop culture, media and consumerism This exhibit examines the perplexities of grand industry against the trials and behaviour of modern society. His sense of humour is perfect for our ambiguous times, with quotes such as 'Closer to God in Heels' and 'The better you look, the more you see'. Picking up the heels where the bourgeoisie stopped, Wiedemann has continued the quest इन्तो the lifestyle of the rich and famous. He takes something iconic and turns it upside down.


I LOVE IT!

THAT'S IT FOR ME..

Coco
