The essence of this collection is creating lingerie by reusing man’s shirts. This lingerie is made for independent woman, and aims to inspire and empower them. Some of the resources may be used are handmade embroidery, french seams or covered with a bias, but never raw seams, and confortable fastenings. It is very important the use of the shirt, as it symbolizes the willing of an equal-gender world. To provide confort and elasticity to those garments, other fabrics as sheers, tulles, velvets and jerseys will complement the poplin. My inspiration comes from the swedish word Lagom, which means not to much not to little. To my mind, it is about being happy with what you have and you are, of spending time alone to discover the freest part of yourself. Focus on enjoying yourself. An individualism seen from the bliss of being able to be oneself and recreate yourself in your inner pleasure.

THE ESSENCE OF THE NEW ASIA TREND RESEARCH
Cosmopolita
A S I A TREND
Melancholic
Powerful
Megatrend Asia: China and India will be new centers of the world economy.They will challenge the USA. Norbert Walter, Deutsche Bank: “ Both India and China strongly encourage the creation of human capital�. We will see as a result a multipolar world in which the USA will play an important role but in which the dominance of the West is over. Also in advertising trends. We are focusing on a new Asia, which advances against the world to become the leading world power. This advancement produces a great shock to the rest of the world, Western countries are ousted from his position of leadership. But Asia is Asia, and its culture is currently one of the strongest cultures on Earth. They are moving forward economically and technologically, but they never leave their ancient tradition, neither their routines nor their ideals. Its people are spread throughout the world. We found a strong Asia in all ways: culture and at technology, routines and economy. Full of contrasts between tradition and modernity. Between the old era and the new era.

NEW ERA Asia moves forward on its way to world power with an undeniable force. The architecture is minimalistic, also urban. It grows vertically given the global overcrowding. Structures very marked, geometrized. Nature totally dead. Women earn presence and power.The world is a global entity dominated by a single ruler.
Overcrowded
Minimal
GLOBAL IMBALANCE Asia inverts the balance of the world. All that existed before becomes meaningless, a new history is starting. A chaotic history, based on nothing. It is written on a blank paper. It is a difficult start, it is not constant, with a lot of economic downturns. People are desperate, do not know its true role.
RESETTLEMENT Given the new world created by Asia, people don’t know where they are.They lose their real identity. Everyone is a repetition of others; of what they say, what they do and how they live. There are no nationalities, we all are from the same world. We live embedded in routines, phrases, gestures.
Tradition
OLD ERA
Organic
They can not put aside their tradition. Millennial continent with very distinct roots. Very detailed architecture, with curved shapes game. Cared art, worked. Craft as a part of their culture. Rural life in the countryside, in isolated villages. Life is dedicated to nature.
Handmade
N AT U R A L CRAFTS Habits are present in a new way. Pottery is reinvented, keeping its main features such as colors, but with different shades. Importance of textures, combining woods with ceramic and natural products.
N I RVA N A The main practice of the Buddhism is meditation, and its goal is to reach the nirvana. Nirvana is that feeling of absolute peace, the release status not only of the mind, but also of the suffering. The body and mind as an intrinsic lack of individuality are discussed. In this process there is a gap of individuality.

Awkwardness
The images reflect the chaos and madness this new era will begin with. People will be disoriented, which will encourage individualism, loneliness. A rebirth of the world, a new story to write in blank books. Light fabrics combined with heavy ones. Sheer, knitting and felt, suede or denim, both lightweight or not. The fabrics will be dye with especially made prints for this collection. Dyes with color gradients simulating watercolor effects, fine lines or scribbles patterns. All merged with one color fabrics. Flowing shapes, emphasizing the volumnes on bottoms with rectangle and triangle silhouettes.Working with an organic-chaotic minimalism. About the details: fringes, knots, crossed structures. Sweaters with extralarge sleeves, openings and bare shoulders.
