About Fred Bangili

Kuna aina nyingi tofauti za bangili na bangi: wabuni, dhahabu, plastiki, bei nafuu na ya bei ghali… lakini nzuri jinsi walivyo, wote ni daima na bangili tu. Fred ni kitu zaidi. Hizi cuffs katika unyenyekevu wao kufufua heshima ya zamani, bado ni ya kisasa. Wanaweza kuvikwa kwa mikono wazi na blouse ya hariri au sweta nyeusi, na wataongeza kugusa kila darasa kwa mtu aliyevaa. Vikuku hivi ni vya kipekee kwa sababu vinakuja kama jozi. Ni nyepesi sana ambayo inafanya kuwavaa kuwa mbaya. Kwa kuwavaa, mtu atatambulika!

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.
