This is FIELD of PONIES' first collection. It’s a range of 8 insane sweatshirts and 2 trouser shapes.
FIELD of PONIES' aesthetic stems from a web-based artistic project, in which the designer creates one pony a day, using everyday materials found in her immediate environment. Thus, home-made/crafty techniques have been developed to offer a modern version of quilting, stuffing as well as hand and machine embroidery.
The garments are cut for men but girls can wear them too, as long as they dig it.
The range is made from organic cotton mixed with fake fur, real human hair, glow in the dark threads, recycled left-over materials and other groovy trims.
Inspiration was drawn mainly from the annual Haitian carnival held in the town of Jacmel. Fears and oppressions are dispelled with music, dance, and human connectivity. The carnival’s really powerful characters, created in haste from found materials, strongly inform how FIELD of PONIES interprets clothing: as a raw, primitive and available form of self-expression.
Reflections around modern nomadic behaviours informed the use of soft, comfortable materials and aim for a pillow-like feel for the wearer, so he/she can comfortably crash anywhere along the journey.
Every sweatshirt is made by hand in London, United Kingdom.
The visuals are crafted in Montreal, Canada.
