Voici une oeuvre d'art
This suit-in-one-piece is pointing to itself as a piece of art (which is, in fact, also true!) by the text from ankle to shoulder which explains, in french, This is a piece of art. Made of different tones of black cotton. The orange coloured text is painted directly on the fabric. Designed and made by Katia Scoazec, Bretagne, France.

Existant d'une sarouel et un haut cet ensemble-à-1-pièce parle par le texte Voici une oeuvre d'art comme une oeuvre d'art. Et ça est vrai! L'écriture est peint en orange directement sur le tissus en coton noirs différants. Une création de Katia Scoazec (Katiwacréas), Finistère, France.

Zeven-en-veertig

High waisted sarouel pants. A textile artwork by Vaisto, Finland. Hanni about her and Koshka's work: We work as a team, but mainly Koshka is responsible for design & production, and I'm doing selling, marketing and generally run the business. Of course we love to hit our creative heads together and see the multicolors sparks fly out, often Koshka makes the original sketches, and then we together decide the colors, materials and details. For this project it was very inspiring to see the blog, study this very unique style and beautiful sense of aesthetic, and try to think how to make it work together with ours. We were truly pleased with the result, it was very exciting to give imagination big wide wings, and create something out of our usual range.

Voor een verhaal is niet veel meer nodig dan dit (For a good story not much more is needed than this) Originally, I made the cartoon pen-drawing to which this text belongs, in 2008. The print version was created in august 2009, and it is this version which inspired Manochic (Tokio, Japan / Hanoi, Vietnam) for the decoration in colorful embroidery work on the front of a sarouel. The fingerless gloves in bright blue linen are created by myself.
