I recently
visited the Arterija gallery in Split, where the exhibition is held ˝ To love is not an
option ˝ by
portuguese artist Jorge Moita. As soon as I saw
the unusual 'paper' bag I knew it wasn´t just a piece of fashion accessories
draped over an arm! La Ga is a real statement bag! It´s a bag with a soul!La.Ga was the first
product designed by the KK collective
and they involved ordinary people into the story.The first step in the world of fashion
and design is a blend of art
explored in graphic processing and production of bags. Individual bag
is the result of single guest designer, in limited editions of 199 pieces. Shaped
like a large tears, the bag is made of
a
compound crank Dupont Tyvek material.Thinner
than one millimeter,
and the heavier less than 40
grams, La.Ga bag
is able to hold the weight of
up to 55kg and also
you can wash it in a washing machine!She
talks about the duality common in everyday life as well as lightness and strength, stiffness and softness. It is intended to be an "extension"
of users, it naturally
becomes a dynamic and witnessed gradual changes of time, form and texture. Certain of them were produced in potuguese
female prisones
by the women who
were sentenced for drug trafficking. All of this gives her the
importance and indicates that La.Ga has
a special dynamism and quality!My
favorite La.Ga is the smallest one with skull print as you can see in a picture! Jewelry is made by Gorana Gulišija, and clothes by Maks studio!
