featured fellow Parsons grads and friends of mine, Marcela Velez & Melissa Losada and their new collection of handbags. a briefing if you will from the designers:
M2MALLETIER
Our studio is located in an old 19th century cement factory turned family
compound by Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill. The factory, abandoned and
partially in ruins, was a compendium of surrealist elements- stairs that climbed
up to nowhere, mighty reinforced concrete structures that sustained nothing and
pieces of iron hanging in the air.
We were inspired by every line and texture that can be found throughout this
surreal and magical space. Each room is unique and constructed with materials
such as cement, brass and marble.
