PotiPoti | Fall 2010

PotiPoti dras­ti­cally scales back their fall efforts, show­cas­ing three dis­tinct looks for the upcom­ing sea­son. Rely­ing on the lush trap­pings of their knits, the new col­lec­tion stays grounded in tra­di­tion, offer­ing abstract prints amidst an attrac­tive earthy color palette.

Spring 2010 | Potipoti

Berlin label Potipoti turn a new page with their spring 2010 col­lec­tion enti­tled “The Human Body River”. With a deci­sively younger aes­thetic, the label takes an effort­less approach to a range that blends preppy fea­tures with Potipoti’s usual quirk. Graph­ics of fish adorn tops, while a sea of blue con­quers the over­all col­lec­tion. In the midst of slen­der sil­hou­ettes, the stand­out piece of the sea­son is a rein­ter­pre­ta­tion of the clas­sic polo shirt found in the form of a new knit hybrid. Despite the obvi­ous move to lighter gar­ments to suit the spring sea­son, Potipoti man­ages to keep their charm – envi­sion­ing a care­free world with more time for just living.

“Berlin Closer” — potipoti Fall 2009

For fall 2009, Berlin label potipoti con­tinue to charm with their graphic prints.

Feature Label: Potipot Island /​ Potipoti Spring 2009

Potipot is a remote island get­away located near Metro Manila. The small island was the inspi­ra­tion for potipoti’s spring line. The col­lec­tion cap­tures the exoti­cism of the trop­ics. This season’s color palette is aquatic, yet the col­lec­tion still remains quite graphic.  Bear­ing in mind that potipoti’s design duo, Sil­via Sal­vador and Nando Cornejo have a back­ground in Fine Arts, it is not a sur­prise.  The studio-​​label, cre­ated in 2005 com­bines the best of “fash­ion, graphic design, visual arts, and prod­uct design.” It is this sense of inter­re­lated arts, that make potipoti so com­pelling as a cloth­ing label. Instead of mere clothes, a story is sure to accom­pany each col­lec­tion.  Nando Cornejo was gra­cious enough to share this season’s story.

How did your inter­est in fash­ion begin?

We actu­ally both stud­ied fine arts, but we have always been attracted to fash­ion, par­tic­u­larly to tex­tile design and stamp­ing, so we’ve been grad­u­ally tak­ing steps to reach the cur­rent sit­u­a­tion by design­ing col­lec­tions every 6 months.

What is your fash­ion background?

We are self-​​taught, we like the phi­los­o­phy of do it your­self. At the end of 2005, we began to exhibit our draw­ings in empty premises in Berlin. We held par­ties. Peo­ple didn’t buy pic­tures, but they did buy skirts and shirts. That’s how it all began.

Per­son­ally, what are your own shop­ping habits?

We really like buy in small shops with char­ac­ter and we don’t like shop­ping malls. We usu­ally buy through inter­net too.

What design­ers do you like?

Wal­ter Van Beiren­donck, El Del­gado Buil, Hen­rik Vib­skov, Peter Jensen, Bjork & McElligott…
