Spellbound SS11 Capsule Paris Collection Perview II

Source reposted elsewhere from Okiya

Hello all,

As you know, we presented the SPELLBOUND SS11 collection at (Capsule) in Paris. It was my first show and I've enjoyed it very much!
The temperature was scorching hot but that didn't stop us from meeting interesting people, talking about our new collection and mostly learning a lot about denim.

One day before the show I had a visit from my Japanese friends from Domingo. Uchida-san (the future President of Domingo), Tanaka-san (Production Quality Control manager) and Tamura-san (Spellbound Designer) came down to Antwerp to visit the Okiya showroom and I took them to see some really nice stores like Bellerose, Clinic, Hospital, A cut above and Your. They were very impressed and like Antwerp a lot (not to forget about our lovely chocolate and beers :) )!

The next day, we left to Paris and on arrival we met the main SPELLBOUND distributor, Ewing Blaek Cheng. We don't see each other often so it was nice to finally talk about things face to face! He brought with him a man that has a huge background in Japanese denim, Furuichi-san. We asked him bunches of questions and we are very grateful that he answered us each time with the same enthusiasm and openness. He really allowed us to learn so much in these 3 days, it's amazing! He's like a walking denim encyclopedia! Furuichi-san, as a close friend to the Domingo factory, also translated for us and our Japanese friends. 
Tanaka-san and Tamura-san explained very detailed about the production of Spellbound and at the right time we will share this information with you!
For now, look at how our show went and enjoy the images of the SS11 collection!

I absolutely love this panel. It's handmade by the staff at Domingo. 
The spelling is not always correct but you can feel the sincerity of the person that made it.

~~Thank you for Okiya ~~
