Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Jeans Design – checked! Prototype – checked! Finding the factory – checked! We’re back from Serbia and Croatia, and at moment we’re waiting for the second prototypes to be send to us from the factory. Second prototypes are made of jeans that will be used during production, and they’re made in the factory, using industrial [...]

The making of wtfJeans prototype

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Today we went to our tailor’s shop for the first fitting. We were so excited although our jeans looked more like a few pieces of material stitched together on sides, than as a normal pair of jeans. This fitting was important so that our two tailors could do the final adjustment before final sewing. They’ve [...]

-3 days until prototypes

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Yesterday was a very important day for wtfJeans project. Our designer Sanja Zdravkovic has finished designs and we were able to choose and decide which one of them will be produced. We were so happy but also confused. Why confused? Well, it wasn’t an easy decision: 10 models, 5 male and 5 female versions. The [...]

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

We’re in Serbia at the moment, having meetings with our fashion designer and visiting jeans factories. We’ve learned how complicated it is to make a pair of jeans, but we’ve also learned that nothing is complicated if you have good design and a good prototype.

Thanks to @wtfJeans twitter friend @Vedran Gulin I’ve discovered a dress which I’d like to wear for a New Year’s party 2011.

Friday, January 8th, 2010

How do your walls look like? Your real walls – not your screen ones! ;) Are they painted? Do you have posters on them? Or maybe some paintings? Or you simply don’t care about it? Well, I do care about it. Sometimes I want need to rest my eyes, after hours and hours spent in [...]

Handmade Geekery Jewelry

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

I just love The Big Bang Theory. Everything about those guys is great: they’re fun, they’re smart and they have the craziest geeky outfits. Just thinking about Howard Wolowitz makes me laugh! :) But imagine there’s a female version of TBBT characters. What would they do? What kind of jokes would they make? Don’t know [...]

Colorful Wellington

Monday, January 4th, 2010

It rains and it snows, it’s cold and wet, and the skies are gray… No, I don’t have intention to write poetry ;) I only want to add some color to January. Wellington rubber boots were made some 150 years ago for farmers, and production was dramatically boosted with the advent of World War I. [...]

Thanks to Wynter Holden at PhoenixNewTimes blogs I’ve discovered Top 5 Geeky Fashion Trends of the Decade Some of [...]
