For this portion of the Fashion Tales “In the
Know” spotlight of designers, we’re taking a different route. Today is
about exploring unisex accessories and garments, as well as the usual art
infused and avant-garde driven inspirations. This exclusive set of designers
exemplifies originality, passion, and a distinct message behind their
design.

UEG
Warsaw based project, UEG is a clothing brand for women and
men that collectively plays upon the concept of consumerism as well as
symbolism in text. The concept of UEG came from Lojewski, Kuczynska and Przemek Nowakowski, a screenwriter and
author of drama plays from Poland.
They visually narrate the motive of making
the wearer conscious of discrepancies in the world today—the intentions are to
show similarities in everything and each person. The brand’s project name
essentially means “use and throw away,” (Usa e Getta), which is also
the basis of inspiration for this entire mission.
The collection features everything from multi-functional scarves,
in the UEG Flags collection to
patterned/scripted unisex parkas, from the Between
Water and Stars collection.

“Similarity is characteristic of everything that is.
Everything that is, is similar. Each of us is similar to someone else. Do not
be solitary, be similar. Similarity guarantees cleanliness. Cleanliness is the
new love,” the designer says.
Elina Dobele
Architect and shoe designer, Elina Dobele of ZoFAfootwear
produces handmade shoes for men and women with fine details. Dobele uses her architectural
background as inspiration as well as the design perspective. She sketches, designs,
and develops each style—all of the craftsmen who make the shoes are equally
passionate about taking part in the manufacturing process. The shop is based in Riga,
Latvia, and every bit of each style is made by hand.
With Dobele’s designs she silently triggers several questions
to the wearer, including, “What are our shoes thinking when being worn?” The
collection consists of many styles that can easily be seen as art, using leather,
satin, and unique seaming contrasts as the sole voice of expression.It’s sheer fashion play on comfort and style. From
over-the-knee boots to a modern graphic nod to oxfords … in this line the
use of leather certainly adds to the overall aesthetic!
