Marni for H&M on Vogue Russia |
Another H&M designer collaboration wll hit the stores on 8th of March. It's the turn of Marni a sophisticated luxury italian brand. H&M abandons the big names of the fashion industry known by the masses and chooses an intellectual fashion house. We could say that H&M goes radical chic in fact it also picks Sofia Coppola to direct the tv commercial. Marni is known for prints and patterns with a vintage feel and for big statement jewels. The collection designed for H&M has Marni written all over it. It's tribal, vintage and also bohemian and bauhaus. The full lookbook has been disclosed only a few days ago.
See the full Marni for H&M lookbook here. Will you queue outside H&M stores?
Now let's get back to today's diy project. I think that jewelry is the best part of this Marni collection. Every piece looks like a 70's jewel and it's either in wood or in plastic. The plastic leaves necklace you see above are my favorites. I can make a similar one with just a lighter and an empty bottle. See how I made it.
H&M continua la sua collaborazione con i grandi brand e l'8 marzo sarà il turno di Marni. H&M abbandona i grandi nomi del fashion industry conosciuti dal grande pubblico e sceglie invece un brand di nicchia e più intellettuale. Potremmo dire che quella del colosso svedese sia una scelta radical chic sottolineata anche dal nome di Sofia Coppola scelta per la regia dello spot. Marni è conosciuto per le sue stampe dal sapore vintage e i grandi gioielli e la collezione disegnata per H&M rispetta il dna della maison. Si potrebbe definire una collezione dal sapore vintage con influenze tribali, sia bohemien che bauhaus. Il lookbook completo è stato svelato da poco, cliccate qui per vederlo. La collezione sarà disponibile solo in negozi selezionati. Che dite? Farete la fila fuori?
A colored bottle |
I didn't care what was inside the bottle, I picked this orange juice only for the color of the bottle (is it weird?).
By the way get a plastic bottle.
Scegliete una bottiglia di plastica
empty it and cut it vuotatela e tagliatela |
Cut out a leaf shape and get a lighter Ritagliate una foglia e prendete un accendino |
Now this is the fun part: warm up the plastic leaf with the lighter. Keep it a little far from it. You'll see the plastic leaf bend and become tridimensional. It will look much more like a real leaf. These 3d leaves will add volume to the statament necklace.
Ecco la parte divertente: scaldate la foglia con l'accendino mantenendolo ad una certa distanza. Vedrete la plastica piegarsi e assumere un aspetto tridimensionale che servirà a dare volume alla collana. In più otterrete una foglia molto realistica.
here's the first leaf ecco come appare la prima foglia |
Cut the bottle in pieces Ora ritagliate tutta la bottiglia |
Curl all the pieces e piegate tutte le foglie |
Insert one leaf after another Infilatele una dietro l'altra in un filo |
these are three layers qui in alto tre strati sovrapposti di foglie |
Ho aggiunto un paio di perline ed ho ultimato la collana con filo e l'uncinetto realizzando la fettuccia rumena che già ho utilizzato nel vestito diy di Stella MCartney.
invidio la tua creatività :) bellissimo progetto anche questo!

ReplyDeleteMeghan
@Barby I still don't know, will you go?
ReplyDeleteI am inspired and currently making something similar myself. However, I had a problem with the bottle, it was too small. How many leafs did you use?
ReplyDeleteP.S: I guess I should get back to you with my version of this...
@taurina
ReplyDeleteI used a 1.5 liters bottle and it was enough to make 42 leaves. This number depends on leaves dimension.
Let me see your version :D
