Maysun Photographer
This week I discovered Maysun and I have fallen in love with her work.
She is an Spanish-Palestinian photographer based in Bangkok, Thailand.
”I’m compromise with my job because I consider that it’s a way to be engaged and consistent with my convictions and my ethics. Photography is a way to be engaged with our world.”

The Conventional
I do not look at fashion too much, just when by chance I find something that I adore or when by chance I get terrified by an ugly image. I took the freedom to play with the images of Norma Luisa, an italian fashion scam.
The one that works on their texts it is good! not the designer… I guess a product like that needs a great text on behind to exist. Interesting contemporary times, it is good to know where we are. 😉
”She is sophisticated without any efforts, never too sexy, never too classical, never too one-side…she plays with elusive nuances. In every sense, in life and wardrobe she is almost perfect and never predictable. A touch of glamor, a bit of imagination, the ease of gestures and spontaneous sensuality translate themselves into always different signals, depending on the mood. This is due to the fact that her charm derives from the fickleness and the unbearable lightness to adapt the situations.”
Collecting colors
Production it is the important step to be solved while the real commerce start. Some areas can be in a way industrialized, another ones are giving the best results if they remain handcrafted. As you already know our production it takes part in Spain.
Cutting by hand, classifying by colour… and carefully matching the pieces will build each bag.
Lots of red coming!
Elegance
Elegance comes out of poverty, as creation comes out of void. Is not about reconsidering what it is necessary above all, it is about creating from a lack but not just mixing things together with big terms. It is imagination, the cult of elegance, the dream and the escape from the hub, creating images of prosperity and wealth.
This text it is about those people that are not resigned to live the life they are supposed to.

”¿quiénes somos para negar a otros el humano deseo de soñar? Y esto es lo que procuran todos los días los sapeurs, construyéndose una vida de sueños en la que a veces viven despiertos y otras con los ojos cerrados.”
