A series of 10 cyanotype scarves were designed, produced and tailored by hand with fully analogue methods. On the fabric itself, you can see the shadows of written letters, addressed to a person called Esther. Some letters are readable, other parts are more abstract and reduced to a purely typographical interpretation. Each of the 10 scarves has its own part of Esther’s story. Cyanotype is a chemical process and early form of photography in which UV light transferred negatives to the textiles.

Yves Sweater Collection was born from the idea that typefaces should not only be used on paper, but that everyone should be able to wear their own favorite letter on their body.

The LAZY project explores the interplay between content, design and type design with that font selection. It is about how design decisions can contrast with content. The sharp yet dynamic lines contrast with the meaning of the word, making LAZY a decorative element.

The visual tension between word and design stimulates conversation and transforms the hoodie into wearable art.
Studio Melli collaborated with a local brand in Tehran to create a unique design based on old Iranian stories. The design is inspired by the tale of Obed Zakani’s cat and mice, which is an allegory of human life situations.

It was published as a series of limited edition one-color silk screen prints on t-shirts.

The phrase emerges with striking clarity, each letter meticulously designed and crocheted to maintain its distinctive shape. Through the craft of yarn and hook, the essence of the typography is captured, creating a wearable piece of art that demands attention and invites exploration of its intricate details.
“Test Print” consists of five self-taught screen-printing friends, which carries out mandates for the art and design worlds as well as self-initiated projects. The mix between comissions & made-up visuals blurs the boundaries between these fields, changing the status of the so-called test prints (the tests on prototype fabrics before the final prints), bringing them to the forefront and happily adding extra layers to them in order to achieve charged compositions bordering on abstraction.
Who tells us what fashion is? Who decides when you are fashionable? Isn’t it more about feeling and radiating fashion? Isn’t it more about the attitude than the clothes themselves?

Feeling good inside and showing what you want to show. Fashion can get under your skin, merge with you and embody you. You decide how you feel in fashion.
