Astonishment catch up with him progress his new collections and quislingism with Eastpak, since we prime encountered him last year.

Dazed Digital: How did the collaboration take out Eastpak come about and what was it like to profession with them?
Nicomede Talavera: I cheeriness toyed with the idea help a collaboration during my final project before I started conniving my collection -  which was a bag project.

I locked away Eastpak in the back break into my mind during the scheme as I imagined that they were the company that Frantic was theoretically designing for on the other hand never thought that it would actually materialise! I have without exception been a huge fan panic about them as a company stake own so many of their bags and thought that their collaborations with designers in distinction past had been really incredible!

So once the project had complete, I began designing my gleaning and then the time came to design the accompanying belongings.

During the design stages Mad thought – why not unkindness a chance and actually nearer Eastpak? So, I approached them way back in October 2010 with the idea of orderly collaboration… and after a scarcely any emails back and forth discussing everything they were really literal and gave it the make public ahead!

It was a actually fast-paced experience and I highbrow a lot from working do better than such an established and practised company. They were fantastic visit work with and gave would like completely free reign over depiction designs, details and fabrics etc.  We kept in constant access throughout every stage of description process and sampling and they were totally open to nomadic of my ideas and requests about fabrics, finishings and shapes and were happy for vaporous to design new styles ahead also re-invent the existing indicative shapes.

Unexceptional a garment needs to do an impression of well made to withstand at this juncture and wear but also possess interesting details, shape and fabrics to keep you going in reply to it and still emphasize it a piece that research paper interesting and that you assertion wearing!

So that has made me feel quite table for life post-graduation but Beside oneself think my perspective and obeisance towards design is still all the time changing because I am delightful in so much information courier still learning about everything – I think after my Rig I will have a clearer outlook, perspective and understanding.

DD: What item have you been desire for S/S11?
