About Fred Armilla

Sunt ibi tot diversas species consertissimo armillarum pondere cum bacis clangunt, polymitarii ac aurea, plastic, viles quidem, sed formosa ... quod pretiosa sunt, illi omnes sunt semper: et non tantum armillas posui. Marcus aliquid est magis. Hos proceres manicis antiquitus simplici voci tamen esse videtur. Nudis manibus tum deferri possint subucula serico nigro aut laneus, et id semper homini tactus obiecit. Quia illa quasi solus par monilia. Quae levissimi omfortable obiecit. Per circumdatio eos, et se esse animadvertit shurely!

Tags: cuffs, bracelets, accessories, fashion, plastic
Production Technology: Cuffs are made out of light white plastic used for billboards.
Design Challenge: The real challenge was finding the way to bend the material at home without professional machines and to find something that would look as a cuff link. But it also was a work with many gleeful errors.
Research: The research was focused on finding the right dimension for the cuffs and finding the way to make something weareable out of the material ment for something else.
Inspiration: The inspiration: I often go to the theatre and like to dress for the occasion. I like to have something new and different every time I go. Once while I was thinking what to wear this time, there was a movie with Fred Astaire on the TV. I saw his sleek suit, his cuffs… and voila – the idea was born! I remembered cuffs and plastrons worn by men in the last century and decided to revive it in a modern way, this time as a part o woman garment.
Project Duration: The project started in March of 2012. in Zagreb and was finished in two weeks. During that time I was trying to find out the right dimension for comfortable wearing bracelets and the way to bend the plastic at home.
Operation Flow: The research was focused on finding the right dimension for the cuffs.
