More about Rocker lether cuffs

Assortment leather cuffs




Leather cuffs have been around since ancient times when warriors would adorn themselves with leather to provide a light armor for their wrists and forearms. Modern day Leather cuffs are much more stylish and are obviously meant for fashion as opposed to protection. They do still evoke a more romantic era as they appeal to our primal side of fashion sense.
The leather makes us look and feel tougher and sexier. Whether your fashion statement is woven leather bands, patterns or leather with metal accents, the cuffs will make you stand out in the crowd. Can you imagine Conan the Barbarian without his leather cuffs on? Absolutely not! They make him a bit more rugged and believable. The same is true of the modern day Rock star. The leather and metal studs complete the ensemble for the rock star.
The organic and natural aspect of this fashion piece is another appeal. The leather will mold to your arm and soften with time until it feels like it is an extension of your body. It is a perfect compliment to any outfit that is a bit edgy and trendy.

Accessories Trend

Some ideas of leather cuffs in different styles


Speaking of accessories trend, I just want to pick up some style that I’ve seen on the fashion show runway which is “Leather cuffs”. Leather cuffs remind me of Rocker style. But I think leather cuffs can mix and match with different styles of clothing, not just only Rocker or heavy metal style. Leather accessories tend to use for matching with leather jacket for this coming fall.

Tie Dye Patterns

Some of my tie dye design in different patterns


Peace sign tie dye


Circle tie dye


Spiral tie dye


Tie dye comes in different kinds of pattern and design. For instance tie dye comes in circle pattern, spiral, or even any kind of symbol like heart and peace sign. However different patterns of tie dye are made from different technique of how they are tied to get that pattern. My tie dye line is pretty much in circle shape or spiral in varieties of color. I am doing some research about up coming new tie dye pattern and color trend for Spring/Summer 2011. Any idea guys?

Tie Dye can also apply use with hand bag

Some handbag designs that are using tie dye technique. The material that is good for tie dye is cotton. It will absorb the hue of color and also it will give a pretty correct color. The design of tie dye handbags, mostly simple not much detail on it. Since the tie dye colors already strong and outstanding, shouldn’t put much detail to compete with the color

To be continue from the last episode of tie dye experimenting

How to choose the tie dye color for garment is one of the topics you need to concern. The background colors that are using for tie dye clothing is somehow have to complement the tie dye pattern color. Either monotone or contrast color is all good depends on the concept and the outcome look you want to get. For the tie dye dress in this spring/summer collection I use secondary color like purple, brown, green as a background. Analogous colors and Complementary colors is some of the color theories I use for the color scheme.

Experimenting of new material with tie dye technic

Again this is a first quick sketch of the idea. Like I mentioned before about how important of drawing skill. It really helps.

The first quick sketch



This tie dye long dress made of 100% cotton at the top part and 100% silk voile at the bottom part. It was a new experiment of tie dye on silk voile. I haven't seen much of tie dye on silk voile, just because the character of silk voile is very thin and sheer. It is easy to tear apart, So that's why we are not really see tie dye on silk voile or even any other kinds of sheer fabric. But I really like the look of te combination. It gives the feeling of spring and summer look and touch. the purpose of using contrast fabric because I don't what to make it look too solid and plain so that's why the reason I added on light material at the bottom.
