The thing I have been thinking about for so long - a real escape from the sheet of paper and the embodiment of my thoughts into a real utilitarian form. Absolutely other level of dialogue with people - constant meetings with manufacturers of textiles, with owners of shops and workers of machinery. A new scale on the of life line - showed me who is who in a difficult situation, how people can react quickly and help you, and how, in a single moment, all possible life values between people can be destroyed.
And the night call from Pokras Lampas: "Gleb, what the F&#$! What are you doing? You're Gravure Knight, do engravings! Why? Who do you think you are!?"
Now, if Arseny is reading this text, he will surely smile, because now he understands me much better, but still - this project is the completion of the Gravure Knight.

2015 + 2016 = I'm Gravure Knight and I made IGK project
I had a friend in the workshop - a graphic artist from Finland. A collector of various clothes, a lover of black color and black-metal. He painted excellent mystical images, but our conversations with him were less and less often about the chimeras of the Middle Ages - he more and more told me about the design of clothes, and I less and less wanted to create chimeras.

Experiments with an atom are the best example of an emotive experiment.

The first thing I decided to start with was collecting information. All I knew about making clothes was how to buy / order a size range of T-shirts (more often it was Fruit & Zelum), and afterwards I took it to the silkscreen shop where they would print me an image of plavtizolium with the cheapest paint. This knowledge was clearly not enough to create a clothing brand.
In one week I collected a lot of information. The battle went on all the search engines - from Google to Pinterest. Now by the way, I use only Instagram and sometimes between food and drinks, you find unique photos of vintage military jackets and work uniforms.
After spending a bundle of paper for the printer, I printed out all of the things I was interested in from examples in the design of clothes - these were sports brands, designer knitted capsules and technology jackets. I looked through a printed sheet one by one, cut out the element I needed, carefully pasted it into a notebook and on the top I made notes, circled the joints that interested me.

First clothes sketches:
For me then and now the most interesting fan illustrator is Aithor Throup - his soaring in the air image will be reflected in my sketch work for a long time.
My first idea was to create a T-shirt of my own cut. At that time I was passionate about casual culture and the authoritative brands for me were Stone Island and CP Company. For myself, I also opened a young English brand MA.Strum - I purchased a blue polo in the Brandshop (Store in Moscow) and was pleasantly surprised by the cut of it. Polo sat perfectly because of competent two seams-darts on the back and sides. Properly constructed patterns adorned the back of any man - no matter whether you are doing sports or not (unless you abuse beer beverages), this cut emphasized your V-shaped man's silhouette.
I realized that this is where I should start. I began to look for designers of patterns. At that time I lived in St. Petersburg, working in parallel on sketches for tattoos and a new engraving "Tetramorf", I rushed around the city and showed the polo in various ateliers choosing whom to work with. Finally, the choice fell on the same young guy as I, the tailor-designer. I invited the tailor to my tattoo studio Sasha-Tattooing and showed him my analytical searches and sketches of the T-shirt.

We discussed the cut, decided to make a copy of the template from my MA.Strum polo, and then rework for our own needs. Now, those who know me personally would point a finger at the fact that I took a copy of someone else's things - because now I only give food to see the plagiarism, but then I was different and did not cross that rubicon, after which I will forever deny the desire to stupidly copy someone's work, without proper development of the database, analytical analysis and construction of patterns from scratch - without a copy.
The tailor left and promised to return with offers on the fabric - I did not need a standard Turkish cotton. And I began to think further - how to apply in the new field "Development of the design of cuts", already sharpened skill "Printing on textiles using the silk screen method."
At that time, I was excited by the idea of reworking the motif of Master Albrecht Durer - "Knight, Devil and Death" I write huge "tablecloths" - manifestos (hello Arseniy! =)) About the image of each of the characters in my world view and I wanted to express the essence of every sinle one in my project .

Manifesto
I want to talk about what inspires me to go further along the path of development of my work. In the engraving of Durer "Ritter, Tod und Teufel" I see, without embellishment, the concept of my brand and the basis of my creations. Every time I experience something like Stendhal's syndrome, looking at this work. In order for you to understand me better, I will give small comparisons and descriptions.
In my opinion, it is possible to draw parallels between this engraving and the Trinity of Rublev, comparing the Knight with the Son, the Devil with the Spirit and Death with the Father. I do not want to be misunderstood or to offend someone's religious feelings. On the contrary, I see a certain sanctity of being in the engraving of Durer, but more on this later.

I do not want to be misunderstood or to offend someone's religious feelings. On the contrary, I see a certain sanctity of being in the engraving of Durer, but more on this later.
The engraving is made in the gloomy tones of the Northern Renaissance. Around the bare, dark rocks, dilapidated, leafless trees, in the distance we see a gloomy castle. The skulls and bones crunch under the hoofs of a knight's horse. In the landscape, Death and the Devil, threatening the Knight in his wanderings, perfectly fit in, but the rider is clothed in the armor of his faith and, thus, protected from all misfortunes. Here, according to most art historians, one can see the connection with the publications of the Dutch humanist and theologian Erasmus of Rotterdam's "Manual of the Christian Soldier" ("Enchiridion militis Christiani"). The line from Psalm David, 22: 4, is very accurate: "If I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil, because You are with me; Your rod and your staff - they comfort me".
It is through the disclosure of these three images depicted in such a masterpiece that we would like to tell you about the vision and philosophy of our new product.
It is through the disclosure of these three images depicted in such a masterpiece that we would like to tell you about the vision and philosophy of our new product.
I think you noticed that through all my work a dark thread stretches the aesthetics of a mystical, unknown, that is beyond our understanding and perception. I am attracted by the spirits of the Middle Ages, the mythology of that time, saturated with images. If you think about it, myths are not taken from nowhere, they are not created just like that. Yes, of course, there are those that use only to frighten disobedient children, but some, undoubtedly, have a basis. Something people saw, something really existed, but died out or hides deep under water, earth, deep in a forest or in the darkest alleys of your city. Therefore, in addition to engravings, even our clothes will have a touch of mystical images that are beyond the control of time. Thanks to these details, we are trying to convey to you our vision of the world. Far from everything can be explained by science, somewhere all that remains is to trust our sensations. The world is immense and ambiguous, much is still hidden from us by the veil of secrecy, as it was centuries ago.
By this we are trying to show you that we are interested not only in engraving, but also in the creation of something other than it. Engravings should not be something ordinary for you, should not be boring. We could release them more often than now, but there is no point in this. Each work passes through my heart, through a pencil straight to the paper, and from there to the Internet, to your eyes. Each work for me is very individual and, if someone sees this as a routine, then what is all the effort for? A person gets more pleasure from the meeting, if he longs for it. We in no way refuse from the old project for the sake of a new one. We continue to print engravings, which are placed on the wall. However, we will also add them to our uneasy and serious business - the design of clothes, in order to emphasize and focus your attention on our worldview - mythology.
In the description of the Death Rider, I would like to return to Mark Aurelius, already known to you, and again quote it: "Live every day as if it was the last, never fuss, never be indifferent, never take theatrical poses - that's perfection of character. Our life is what our thoughts turn into".
Let us look at the engraving. Death points to the Knight's watch, making it clear that the last hour is near and can come at any moment. Despite this, the Knight continues his journey. The fate of any person can tragically end anytime, all this - the whims of fate and chance. We want to proclaim the phrase from the title of Richard Branson's book - to hell with everything, take it and do it!

We want to proclaim the phrase from the title of Richard Branson's book - to hell with everything, take it and do it!
I am sure that the path that I have chosen is the only right one for me. I can not do without what I'm doing right now. If I did not do this, it would not be me. I will continue my journey, like the Knight from the Engraving of Durer, as the Gravure Knight. This is my road and no one has the right to tell me where to go. Only time should remind you that you can not stop. We all stop once and get out of the way.
I strive to realize all my ideas while I can. I have plenty of power, I have the opportunity, why not do it then? This is my struggle, as I said in the last article, in what I do, it is necessary to look not only for the commercial side, but also for my desire to fight for my happiness.

For the description it is worth remembering one of the oldest proverbs that most people of the world have. "Teufel steckt sich im Detail" - so it sounds in German. «Дьявол кроется в деталях» (The devil is in the details) - so it sounds in Russian. By my engravings, you have already understood my attitude to detail. The love of detail is my cross, sometimes I go into details so much that I do not see the whole picture. This is partly my attitude to the world and to people, to everything. In detail it is easy to understand what a person really is. Trifles often give out information no worse than words spoken directly to the person.
Particular attention to detail is my demon. My component of the soul, after all, as you know, the demon from the Greek translates exactly as "soul". In our project, we are not going to neglect details. As mentioned earlier, clothes will not include a print on the whole chest. There will be a drawing, but not a huge one. The details in the clothes will reveal her soul - demon. The essence in creating the unity of the external with the inner, in the formation of a whole image, revealing the person in the elements of his clothing.
Now let's talk directly about the Knight and our project, because they are inseparable from each other. I thought for a long time that it would be better to name your project, but so that it retains my initials. GK. How is it better to beat it? I did not want to do something brutal, aggressive. Nothing in the style of names of wrestlers or superheroes.
This project should be like a line on my engravings - elegant. I chose the word "Galant". What immediately associated with this? Right. Manners, the best gentlemanly qualities, but, at the same time, the ability to stand up for oneself and your honor. "Knight" in this phrase symbolizes the owner of his life, disciplined, principled, the owner of the strict order of his behavior. There is such a set of rules, like "Bushido" or, that will be closer in meaning, "Art of Knighthood ". In the life of such a person, there is no place for proud pride and excessive emotionality. In my priorities - to be just such a person, in my opinion, this is the way of the man in the world. Speech, again, does not go about the kind that man gives, but about fighting with the worst enemies, the most frightening monsters of his mind, the war with which is sacred, he can leave this war only by dying or winning.

I will reinforce my judgments with a quote from the book of Julius Evola, The Metaphysics of War:
"Great" or "holy war" has an internal and non-material character: this war is waged against the enemy, the "barbarian", the "infidel", which everyone carries within himself, or who rebels whenever an individual tries to subordinate his whole being to spiritual law " .
In our project, this refers to the fact that we decided to create a comfortable dress style, which is also "armor". Defends and emphasizes the status, as well as armor on medieval knights, decorated with badges. Practical clothes that, in which you can defend your honor physically, but also feel comfortable in the ordinary situation, without thinking that you look unseemly.

«MELENCOLIA I».
The Roman unit and at the same time the English word "I". In order to clarify the choice of this symbol, as a logo, it is worth to talk about the engraving of Durer "MELENCOLIA I".
In the Middle Ages, melancholic people were divided into three types. The first was attributed to creative people - artists, poets, artisans, etc. Second one - people whose reason prevails over the feeling - scientists, statesmen.
The third type is people who have developed intuition, theologians and philosophers.

The third type is people who have developed intuition, theologians and philosophers.
Since Durer was an artist, he attributed himself to the first type of melancholy, as the inscription on the engraving reads.
We also attribute ourselves to the first type, we are all partly melancholic, we should not hide this or be afraid of this comparison. After all, as Clive Barker said: "Melancholy is sadness, only stronger. This is what we feel when we think about the world and how little we understand when we think about the inevitable end. "
So, through the creative prism, as through the keyhole, we look through the eyes of Marcus Aurelius for what we want to create.
The manifesto is a conceptual text, we now have it. The visual component is defined and it is necessary to start creating the product itself. The tailor came in the day we agreed on and offered the material - I chose viscose violet-blue.
The physical and mechanical properties of viscose fibers are largely determined by the structure of their outer shell, a significant number of cross-links, gives the fibers increased strength. The fabric is soft and pleasant to the touch and cool in the summer. Static electricity does not store in viscose. Fibers can easily be painted in any bright colors. The dyeing technology involves the introduction of a dye directly into the fibers. Correctly colored fabric does not shed. Viscose is easier than cotton. In comparison with cotton viscose absorbs moisture twice as much. The dry cloth has high strength. The fabric does not require special disposal. Does not cause allergies. Has high hygienic properties.
Choosing a cloth, I, based on analytical analysis from my notebook, prepared a sketch - a technical drawing. I offered to keep the back structure, and change the geometry in the shoulder area. I decided to work on the separation of the silhouette in textures - the bottom is smooth and simple, and the upper half of the back and sleeves. Quilted in a cage under 45 degrees, the details of the cut had to be doubled - from the underside the viscose of gray color sealed with ornamentation made up of Roman units.
All this is packed in a canvas bag with manual application EXPERIMENT # 0

We made a sample of a T-shirt - without a print, just the cut and the seams. Meanwhile, I found in my book with sketches for my engravings - the beginning of my interpretation of the engraving "The Knight, the Devil and Death."
Having imposed the boundaries of the Roman number "one" I drew the print on the T-shirt. Observing the tolerance for thickness of the line, I prepared for printing. I wanted to make the drawing not standard, so I made a decision. The print is cut vertically and offset - I liked the "glitch" effect.

Cliché for printing.
Meanwhile, Nicholas the Jedi Master, owner of the laser engraving workshop, has already prepared a wooden cliché EXPERIMENT # 0. Having worked out the technique of printing, I purchased acrylic paints and order canvas bags for T-shirts from a tailor. Although there were no T-shirts yet, I wanted the process to go in parallel. We started printing lining fabric on the sleeves and back, but with the main fabric things were much slower.
I already moved to Moscow, however sewing of the T-shirts still did not begin. All because of the inexperience of the shop for sewing jersey fabric. Viscose, as I found out later, should be unwound when buying for a printing and let it lie back - as during the winding of fabric on a roll, the machine uses tension. So if you do not unwind the whole roll, and you just cut off from the roll - cut off a meter will be less than a meter.
This fact, lack of professionalism of the shop, cost me two months of downtime - two months of summer - two months of sales. But at the end of July-beginning of August, I got a long-awaited call - we are sending everything to the shop for printing.

Cliché for printing.
Meanwhile, Nicholas the Jedi Master, owner of the laser engraving workshop, has already prepared a wooden cliché EXPERIMENT # 0. Having worked out the technique of printing, I purchased acrylic paints and order canvas bags for T-shirts from a tailor. Although there were no T-shirts yet, I wanted the process to go in parallel. We started printing lining fabric on the sleeves and back, but with the main fabric things were much slower.
I already moved to Moscow, however sewing of the T-shirts still did not begin. All because of the inexperience of the shop for sewing jersey fabric. Viscose, as I found out later, should be unwound when buying for a printing and let it lie back - as during the winding of fabric on a roll, the machine uses tension. So if you do not unwind the whole roll, and you just cut off from the roll - cut off a meter will be less than a meter.

Silk-screen printing refers to a type of screen printing in which special monofilament polyester, polyamide (nylon) or metal meshes with a frequency of 4-400 threads / cm and a thickness of about 40-500 μm are used as a molding material. Usually, the gaps are formed directly on the grid by a photochemical method. For the production of the printing plate, a dry film photolayer (capillary film) can be used, as well as a liquid emulsion that is dried on the grid after application, and a combination of these two methods. In the usual state, the photo layer is washed off with water. After exposure to UV radiation (wavelength of 360-420 nm), the photolayer is polymerized and ceases to be washed off with water, except for areas that have not been irradiated (closed with a positive image). Sites with a washed out photolayer become printing elements. In the vast majority of cases, exposure is carried out by a contact method.

At last, having printed T-shirts, as well as internal identity: labels and measurements, we had to pack each T-shirt in a canvas bag. I decided to add to two small accessories - a button with the engraving of the head of a knight and a small Roman unit as a keychain, on which the size of the article that is inside the bag is written.
Together with Nicholi, we cut out an array of 200 buttons and 200 Roman units, using a laser, that will hang on the bag. On the bag itself, I also decided to print an engraving on which the workers of the workshop are depicted printing t-shirts - I interpreted the engraving, where people print books.

It should be noted that from the first time we did not manage to apply the engravings - the depth of the engraving did not leave a proper trace and we changed the wooden cliches to rubber. The softer material made it possible to make a deeper engraving, which made it possible to print an engraving on the bag more clearly.

As a result, we received a cool set of author's packaging with the application of manual work. I personally print all 200 bags, sitting in a rented apartment in Moscow. To each bag, together with a tailor, we sewed a button and, putting a T-shirt inside the bag, also sewed the corresponding Roman unit with matching engraved size.
200 T-shirts were ready, but were not ready for sale - an even more fascinating process is ahead - the creation of content.
For faster promotion of the product we, together with the portal Dystopia, offered an interesting contest. We already worked together with the editors - they interviewed me, and we came up with an idea to pack the T-shirt and an engraving "Tetramorf" in one plywood box, which we engraved not only from the outside, but inside - I applied the pattern, developed on the basis of Escher's ornament of three horsemen - Knight, Devil and, respectively, Death.
200 units of Experiment # 0 were released. It sold, approximately, 180 units – it was bought by everyone from young Oxxxymiron fans,sport girls, soloist of local metal and rock bands, to adults. It was flattering to receive a response by email from people that appreciated the quality of the product.
But the question arose in my head, the appearance of which will change my approach and for a long time will refuse the desire to create illustrations for application to T-shirts. This question often sounded, and later it also manifested itself in the product:

Limited Packing
Special for the competition in conjunction with the magazine Dystopia
"Do they buy t-shirts for design templates?" For the materials? Or just because of the image that the artist drew? "
Naturally, the answer was "no" and it is understandable why - I built a powerful background from engravings, and now I propose a completely different product that is not understandable to my audience, whos development is due to my first activity - illustrations.
Therefore, I dare to tackle the product even more and more powerful, reducing my passion tpwards illustrations and focusing on the product - I immerse myself again in the development of patterns, in the search for an embroidery pattern and the preservation of the visual concept in a minimalistic print.
The result was the second line of T-shirts - IGK Names

I G K N A M E S
The names of each of the characters of the visual concept were the main theme of the new collection of T-shirts. Of course, each of these Names has its own manifesto.
I - Intellectual
In its works, the project relies on the thoughts of people about the attitude to work and creativity, who are interesting to us, from which a thoughtful approach to the design of clothing, material, presentation and, of course, the content that conveys our ideas to you.
The main concept of the project can be said, paraphrasing the words of Marcus Aurelius "When you study a thing, ask yourself, what is its essence, its nature, what are its details?"

G - Grotesque
Details are of great importance in the products of the project. Through them we put the final point in the idea, which we want to convey. They emphasize important points and allow to combine practical design and grotesque ornaments in our products, images and filing.
K - Knight
A knight is a symbol of honor and pride. Honor is the honesty of the project before you. We show you our work from and to, thereby proving to you the loyalty of your choice. Pride is reflected in the fact that we love our business and try to do it with quality, but at the same time we are ready to recognize our mistakes and improve our product again and again.
Thus, it is through the image of the Knight that in his details (starting from prints and ending with the submission) we will convey our main idea - pride in our product.

Again, we started our work on the cut. This time we decided to take away the part that gives the silhouette the tightness more forward, and the large quilted part of the backrest is reduced and visually taken to the sleeves along the shoulders. Under the breast, there is also a seam - its goal was to emphasize the anatomically developed. We left the first t-shirt's detail - the opportunity to shorten the sleeve and fasten it this time using the button, without the eyelet and the hinge. I replaced the quilted ornament from simple to more complex triangular - the influence of quilted liners of Stone Island Shadow Project. Also, this effect can be seen in the eyelet at the collar - the output of the audio headphone wire. So the technical drawing was ready – all that remains is to get the templates of the new prototype - Prototype # 8
I do not remember why Prototype # 8 has the number eight in its name - most likely it is a reference to the sign of infinity - to the theme of the eternal search for the ideal. In our case, it was an ideal search for a T-shirt and its serving. And saying "in our case" I mean that by the time of this prototype I had a small team of fans of my work, which helped me with the visual presentation of my ideas.

As I wrote above - I did not want to make a huge print on the T-shirt. I did not want to repeat what is sold on paper, print on clothes. So I decided to choose a style of miniatures and ornaments.
I have long liked the work of illustrator and mathematician Matrix Escher. Many saw his famous "stairs" and hands that draw themselves. But a series of works of metamorphosis in ornamentation passes through his whole work.
The uniqueness of these works in their mathematical accuracy, in the transition of one form to another, while preserving the clarity of the visual language. On the basis of one of these works "Horsemen" I create my own horsemen.

Work in progresss: Silkscreen + Reflective
I decided to use in the new line of T-shirts different colors with effects when applied. The first effect I wanted to use was reflective. This feature is achieved by the fact that the paint contains very small glass balls. The light when it hits the sphere is twisted and returns at an angle back to the starting point of the motion vector. Thus, when you shine a lantern on a person in a T-shirt with a reflective application, you see a bright flash of light on it. The same effect we can observe on the clothes of employees in the traffic police and fire fighting services. Also, most outfits for cyclists have similar reflective elements.
I decided to combine linear and silhouette ornament. Having received in the daylight a clear graphic line and a white ornament from the silhouettes of riders at night with a directional ray of light or a flash.

When developing Prototype # 8, I take a great interest not only in various effects of application to textiles, but also on textile itself and its coloring. I begin to delve into the history of the brands of Sportswear. - Stone Island and C.P. Company.
The fame for these brands in the period of their development was given by the designer Massimo Osti - this name is associated with the brands SI and CP, despite the fact that after the designer left the firm, his business was continued by other equally professional and interesting designers.
I suggest you read one more tab about the history of Garment Dyed - a very interesting direction in the production of clothing, as well as to learn about designers and brands that use this technology. It was these stories that inspired me to create more and more, cool and complex T-shirts.
Reflective
Light-reflecting property of fabric / paint and other coatings and materials.
The phrase garment-dyed denotes things (clothes), painted after sewing.
Massimo Osti invented "Garment-dyed" technology in 1979. He was not just a designer, and even more than a researcher, Massimo was the first to come up with the coloring of clothing in ready-made, sewn-up fashion, which led to a revolution in the fashion industry.
According to the remark of the innovator, things look more interesting due to the 'tone-on-tone' effect, which is achieved due to uneven coloring of clothes.
The first result on coloring Massimo Osti received in 1979. Experimenting with materials and mixing them with each other in the product, Osti discovered that if they are painted in barrels with paints under high temperature, the colors are superimposed. The monochrome product had color transitions and contrasts in the seams area - which made it more unique. In addition, heat treatment during staining provided a guarantee that the thing will not sit down during the wash.
All subsequent years, even after the departure of Osti from business, Garment-Dyed technology continued to improve thanks to the followers of the master.

Chester Perry Company - a brand that opened the world to Italian Massimo Osti, who in turn turned the history of the company. Osti began his career as a designer and technologist for printing prints for T-shirts, and came to create full-fledged collections of clothing.
The reason for his success is his innovation in the technology of imaging - T-shirts were incredibly popular and were sold out instantly.

In 1979, Massimo Osti fully worked on the collections of C.P. Company (the name of the Chester Perry Company was cut so that it was not in tune with Fred Perry). The designer wanted to translate ideas, partly borrowed from the style of 'military', so while working with the first brand, Osti worked in parallel and transferred his ideas to products of his own brand - Stone Island.
1982 is the year, when Stone Island Marine line came out, the design of which is inspired by military and marine aesthetics. Then there is the famous logo of the compass or "Wind rose", which was first applied for obvious reasons on the wrist. Only with time, for convenience, the patch was transferred to the shoulder, where it flaunts to this day.
In the 80s, experiments with materials, fabrics and the introduction of innovative technologies in production from Stone Island bear fruit - the ICE line appears. The unique technology made it possible to turn a jacket of one color, to another, it was worth going out in cold weather - the material changed color depending on the temperature.
The next discovery of Stone Island was the technology 'Reflective'. The glass coating reflected the light of the night lamps and automobile headlights, which made the clothing noticeable even in the dark. In the fashion and design industry, this innovation was a turning point - the introduction of light reflectors into various wardrobe items was in demand as the traffic grew for the precaution of a pedestrian.

Working in the archive
1981 - the designer was full of ideas, it was impossible to stop him, he opens the Boneville brand - a full reflection of the marine theme. But alas, this brand had to be closed in 1993.
Two fans and followers of Osti - John Sharpe and fashion guru Adi Wollaston announced the revival of the firm Boneville and the continuation of the ideas of great designer. Son Massimo Lorenzo reacted to this news with the following words: "I am very happy to see the revival of Boneville. The ideas and originality created by my father returned without losing the spirit of the brand "- thereby showing his respect.
1987 - the anniversary of automobile racing, sponsored by C.P. Company, Mille Miglia jacket comes out– it becsomes legendary. The first design, where two vision lenses were sewn into the hood, the third was on the hand - to watch time on your watch.
Massimo Osti has launched two more clothing lines: the World Wide Web and the ST95.
1993 - a successful Left Hand and the most famous jacket of this brand - Thermojoint.
Massimo Osti is considered the genius of Italian and world fashion, not only because of the numerous successful collections created on the basis of his archives. The technologies that he brought to his clothing, many well-known brands copy to this day.
Creating new lines, Massimo tried to translate all his ideas, as if he knew that he did not have much left. He put his best to the very end.
2000 - working with Levi's, the high-tech clothing line Industrial Clothing Division (ICD / ICD +) is produced. Philips engineers were involved in the development of one of the jackets. This suggests that the technologies used were not just innovations, they were ahead of their time. Jackets can be called a truly fantastic outfit of the future. The built-in player for the beginning of the new millennium was such an unreal accessory that even now you wonder how it occurred to the designer. After the closure of the brand, the ideas put forward by Osti are embodied in the collections of Ma.Strum.
Mo Double Use Collection - the last brainchild of Osti. The collections of the brand were dominated by knitwear from cashmere. Having started its existence in 2003, the company closed due to the death of the creator - in 2005 Massimo Osti died of cancer.
He continued to work until the last day, which speaks of the incredible strength of the spirit and the endless inspiration of the designer. Speaking of him as a genius of the fashion world, it should be noted that his ideas and archives were noticeably ahead of their time, becoming even more in demand today.

C. C.P. Company is older than Stone Island by eight years. It was the success of C.P. The company allowed Massimo to show people the brand, with such unusual things as tarpaulin jackets for military trucks.
1988 - C.P. Company sponsored Mille Miglia - one of the most prestigious vintage cars races in the world. Massimo Osti for a long time studied the removable hoods of Japanese civil defense forces designed to protect against a gas attack: the front side was a fabric with lenses and a respirator sewn into it, the hood was fixed with special ties to the neck. Osti dreamed that the lens became an integral part of his jackets. Indeed, this product met all the necessary requirements of travelers, military and athletes. "Built-in" glasses would protect against rain and dirt, keeping good visibility, and the system of pockets allowed you to carry everything you need with you. Osti finished the product and brought it to the court of the organizers and participants. The jacket, with the conventional name Mille Miglia, became the synonym of C.P. Company and is in production, in different variations, to this day.
"Ideas from Massimo Osti" - this slogan was on the labels and for many years decorated the clothes issued by the master. Each new product carries the idea of improving the world, the prevalence of usefulness and style over fashion.
C.P. Company - sketches of the future, embodied in life.

How a Group of Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution
Stone Island - since its foundation in 1982 in the town of Ravarino, located in the province of Modena, the brand is in a constant search for new solutions. Experiments in functionality were its distinctive characteristics.
A year after its foundation, Carlo Rivetti appeared on the stage, who, in 1983, acquired through the family company GFT a 50% shares from Osti, and then in 1993, along with Sister Cristina Rivetti, fully bought the company in order to guarantee the consistency of the brand's stylistic development.
Stone Island was destined to become a symbol of avant-garde experiments with fibers and fabrics combined with innovative design. The brand gained universal popularity after it completely revolutionized the habitual perception of sportswear. Being a cult phenomenon since its foundation, Stone Island still retains this status for new generations.
The main advantage of Stone Island is the unique ability to process finished products due to constant experiments with the methods of coloring, which are carried out in the color laboratory Sportswear Company. The combination of the most advanced technologies, expertise and human potential allowed this division of the company to create over 60,000 different painting methods during its existence.

I remember how one of my customers, who I did sketches of tattoos for, was praising the gray backpack GJO - GRUNGE JOHN ORCHESTRA - Grande John, as he was simply called among friends and customers. I did not hesitate to go to the flagship store GJO and found an interesting interior and could not restrain myself from buying that backpack.
I learned that in Moscow and Russia you can make high-quality premium clothing, that goes alongside with my favorites Stone Island and C.P. Company.

GRUNGE JOHN ORCHESTRA. EXPLOSION - the first Russian brand, combining in everyday clothes technological cutting, functionality and the best innovative materials.
Products of GRUNGE JOHN ORCHESTRA. EXPLOSION combine history and progressive technologies. The brand philosophy can also be briefly defined as a "new urbanism": all things are highly functional, but each has its own history and "character." In GJO.E products, modern technologies are combined with the original cut and unique color solutions achieved with complex dyeing processes.
The starting point for the brand was 2008, when the first small collection was released. A year later, the brand's products first appeared on sale, and in October 2011 the official opening of the flagship store GRUNGE JOHN ORCHESTRA took place in Moscow. EXPLOSION in the historical center of Moscow on Nikitsky Boulevard. Since that time, the brand started its cooperation with large multibrand stores both in Russia and abroad, where GJO.E's special popularity was brought by the their long jackets, resistant to any bad weather, which in time became the trademark of the brand.

GRUNGE JOHN ORCHESTRA. EXPLOSION specializes in the production of clothes from practical and durable materials. The assortment of each collection includes outerwear, knitwear, denim, shoes and accessories. Rethinking the cult models of military and work clothes, the brand produces on their basis a fundamentally new product adapted to the conditions of the modern city.
To achieve a unique appearance, all products after manufacturing are subjected to various methods of complex processing: Garment Dyeing, multilevel painting of different dyes and heating to high temperatures in special furnaces, as a result of which the material deforms and assumes a monolithic shape.
All things are sewn on the unique technology of 3D-cut, which repeats the shape of the body, while not constraining the movement and providing maximum comfort.

Before producing the whole run, more than 20 pieces of T-shirts, designs with different dyeing, from different fabrics, with different applications, were made. This was a necessary measure, since the method of garment dyed implies a "heat stroke" over a freshly colored thing - to fix the pigment of the paint in the fabric. This stage leads to deformation and shrinkage of clothing size. And the difference between before and after coloring varies from the quality and composition of the fabric. More synthetics - less shrinkage. More natural fibers - the chance to paint a white T-shirt size 2XL, and after getting a colored L size increases. A lot of time was spent, as well as money and nerves, to determine from what to make a final run.
So, if you read the big tab above, you can guess that the entire print run of the T-shirts was made in white, but divided by the colors of the thread and identity, because during the synthetics dyeing is not painted with the paint that I decided to use. Also, an ornament with black plastisol paint was preliminarily applied - during the painting, plastisol does not come off the textile and we get a black ornament on a colored background. Therefore, 300 white T-shirts, divided into 200 with a green thread, 100 with blue went to the shop for painting by the method of garment dyed.

While the T-shirts were colored, I did not waste any time and started developing new designs for the next edition of knitwear. Autumn was approaching and it was necessary to have time to make hoodies. I was more and more fond of anatomical cuts - the inspiration for the design of the moored back of the MA.Strum was a bearing fruit. I'm starting to look for a new silhouette of the classic sweatshirts, which takes into account: stretching of the fabric on the elbow during the wear, long hidden wrist cuffs - similar to the no-wind "skirts" inside the winter jackets, also I try to lash my back, not only due to the patterns , but also due to jersey.
So a whole series of sketches was born, not just sweatshirts, but also T-shirts and polo shirts, which I thought I would release by the next summer. But everything changed very sharply - T-shirts returned from the painting.

Bright colors of defective T-shirts
Unfortunately, either the vendor of the fabric failed - and the rolls for the run were different from the metric of the samples. Either the shop that painted did not finish the staining process and T-shirts did not sit on the prescribed 2 sizes - they sat down literally by one size. So instead of 4XL from the shop were received 3XL, instead of 2XL - the classic size of the final dimension row in the line.
Further it was "more fun" - the painting process strongly deformed the embroidery, because of the lack of experience, it was completely incomprehensible to me - who is guilty in this situation - the sewing shop that performed the print run worse than the samples, or again the painting shop?
I decided to sort damaged T-shirts, and seal those, that where not spoiled. But here again the shop blundered - at that moment I clearly realized that sometimes I work with someone in a promo-quality, do not trust them with complex work. Printing with the effect of "lifting" did not work at all - one by one the T-shirts came out without a three-dimensional counter on the image.
At such moments it seems that the whole world is against you - and you either have to surrender or go to the end.

Throughout the work on the development of the design of the patterns, working out the patterns of the t-shirt coloring, I also worked on packing the products. If the first t-shirts were handmade, then the new story should have been more technologically productive. Since I always had three riders in my visual content, I came up with a triangular box. On one side I placed the engraving that I loved all over from the first T-shirt, and on the other sides the sketch and the description of the product inside.
It turned out to be a fantastic design and completely unique, which was modeled by one of the buyers of the first T-shirt - everyone worked on the project - I, my friends and my first customers. I am grateful to all those who sincerely burned with me!

One of the first quality 3D in the project. Completed by the first buyer and fan of my work.
T-shirts are excellent. Everything was unique in them - the box, the lines of cut, the difference in sewing stitches - the classic stitching and the flat stitching, the drawing of the painting before printing, which together with the coloring resulted in a unique solution, jacquard elements that were not only classically placed in the collar, but also T-shirts were neatly sewn from underneath. And much more - all this was amazing, but unfortunately the size range did not satisfy the market - the T-shirts were very large, and the sizes that fit the classic M and S very quickly ended. I understood that I would not return my investments and accepted help from friends who expressed a desire to participate in full force in the project. I do not remember how quickly I agreed, but I remembered this lesson for the rest of my life, about which almost everyone says - do not start a business with friends.
We started working together, I offered to do the sweatshirts, everyone agreed - we started. We all started together, but unfortunately I continued to ask questions and set tasks as I did while the others did not do much at the beginning, explaining the main work and personal tasks with employment, and in the end, there was no help from the "friends". There was only constant criticism.

Garment dyed Sweatshirt Sample

Night glow Sample
The light accumulating effect allows the paint to be "charged" in the daytime by sunlight, and at night glow green / turquoise.
After a while I take the first sweatshirt out of the shop. I remember riding alone with bags and did not understand why it is OUR project, but I'm the only one who is worried about the brand and the invested money.
I again took a photo shoot, edited the photos and laid them out in the social network of the project. With the size of the sweatshirts, it was much better - I found a shop where my Moscow inspirer Grunge John Orcestra painted the jackets, so I managed to avoid problems in the size range.
With the drawing of the image, I also worked on the errors and found another workshop, more pleasant in all senses - the place itself, office, approach, quality. It was a pleasure to come to them. Together with the shop we made the light-storing prints - in the afternoon the print was white, and at night, having absorbed the sunlight, the print glowed with a green tinge.
In addition, the sweatshirt had another feature - the first hint of technology.

Reflective Sample
A sample of reflective print with a graphical screening technique - the knight is made up from lines of different thicknesses. The distance between the lines is a rhythm - it affects the density of the light spot.
On the left sleeve there was a pocket made out of a white two-layer membrane. The hoodies were painted in two colors - malachite and brown. Malachite color was obtained by staining the garment with paint that colored natural fabrics, as well as synthetics. The result - the jersey and the membrane were painted in one color, but due to the difference in material and texture - they acquired a different shade. Thus, I achieved an interesting effect, when on a single-color there is a detail coming out tonality and accentuating attention.
Almost the same, but more pronounced effect was achieved with the second color - the paint stained only natural fibers, so the membrane remained almost white - a slight tonality in a warm shade remained. But now on the sweatshirt was clearly visible white pocket, its angular shape and location on the sleeve.
Both designs had pronounced stitches - the staining method allowed the whitening of the stitches - the pigment did not go deep into the seam and it turned out neon-luminous effect.

Before I tell you about the completion of the project on a minor note, I want to turn around and look at the way I've done. Approximately 10 000 audience of me as an artist, about 5000 audience of the brand, support from the musicians that I once could only listen to in digital format and see only from the stage. Now they were wearing my product. Invited me to meetings, where we was discussed related themes of design, music, art and much more.
Trying to create a product that brings people benefits in the form of convenience, carrying a certain aesthetics, which you came up with - inspires. You believe that everything is possible.
Is it worth talking about the number of people met when selling them the product? Of course it's worth it, because behind each of these buyers was a new companion who helped with photography, video or computer graphics.

All those who bought, shook my hand in gratitude, all of them understood that I was more happy not by the sales, but to the brilliance I've seen in their eyes. I sincerely believe that when you can light the eyes of other people - you are doing something really great. You give people your story, they become part of this story. All of us somehow, whether we are aware of this or not, think about the end and what we will leave after ourselves. We come naked, naked we leave.
It is with thoughts to leave a trace in the minds of others, that I share my story and become a part of the history of others, I continue my journey and decide on more complex things such as jackets and trousers. I am developing my first anorak jacket, and from the very beginning I know that I want to make a jacket made of technologically advanced fabrics. I study this trend in fashion and I am familiar with the brand of the founding father - Acronym. I find a new designer of patterns, more experienced that he will understand my idea with a jacket, as well as find a commercial production with a lot of experience. And again, I am met on my way with criticism from my environment and "team." It is extremely difficult for me to develop with these people and I make a decision that has overcome my psychological and physical condition.

I decided to excommunicate my friends from the project and return them their invested money – "friends"did not react as friends do. These personal vicissitudes against the backdrop of money and teamwork greatly affect my nervous system. My immunity decreases and from a normall conjunctivitis I receive the most complicated problem on both eyes. At first I try unsuccessfully to cure the purulent inflammation of the eyeballs, and afterwards I lose the opportunity to see for a month.
Perhaps in this period, when I can not go anywhere, and every day as one continuous night, I succumb to exhaustion and hysterical seizures - I absolutely clearly understand what is "not to be in time" and lose the opportunity to do what you genuinely love and that brings joy to people who support you.
I am saved by the thought that when I correct my health, I will prove to everyone who doubted, I will never listen to anyone and how I should do it, but I will do everything as I wish, not listening to the criticism of those who have never created anything, but only resold someone else's goods, without investing in it emotional forces.
Slowly, but surely, I'm rising from the darkness, in order to keep secret from all my surroundings, even in secret from my relatives, what I so wanted from the first manifestos of the IGK Project - comfortable, practical, functional and technological clothing.
A new division on the scale of life is not just a search, it's a hunt for technology!
