About Fred Fehin-Tanana

Misy karazany maro ny fehin-tanana sy ny kofehy: mpamorona, volamena, plastika, mora vidy sy lafo… fa tsara tarehy, izy ireo dia tsotra ary brasele foana. Fomba hafa i Fred. Ireo cuffs amin'ny fahatsoram-po azy ireo dia mamelona ny olo-manan-kaja taloha, saingy maoderina izy ireo. Izy ireo dia afaka mitafy eo amin'ny tanana tsy misy aina ary amin'ny akanjo fehikibo satroka na pataloha mainty, ary hanampy hatrany ireo kilasim-peo amin'ny olona mitafy azy ireo. Ireo brasele ireo dia miavaka satria tonga tsiroaroa izy ireo. Maivana ireo izay mahatonga ny fitafy azy ireo tsy mampino. Amin'ny fitafy azy ireo dia ho voamarika mazava tsara ny iray!

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.
