Item of March: Wrist guards “Beware”
Item of the Month in March 2011: the wrist guard Beware. This wrist guard is consisting of polyurethane coated sweatshirt fabric, the loops are sewn together.
Wrist guards have already been in use in the Bronze Age. Equipped with a stone splint, it protected the wrists of the archers against the bow string.
Item of February: Sweater “Nevermind”
As Item of January also the sweatshirt Nevermind stands for an attitude towards life: It refers to a human need for comfort negligence, which normally in everyday life with its demands and struggles can not be lived.
The new sweater from Schaaf is a subtle and wearable protest against this restriction. It gives the (too) often oppressed right to a liberating “I do not care” feeling a home.
Item of January: T-shirt "I REALLY DON’T KNOW"
In January 2011 “ITEM OF THE MONTH” is the motto T-Shirt with the message “I REALLY DON’T KNOW”. Screen printed on cotton.
I REALLY DON’T KNOW
The motive is not a contribution to the new German culture of protest. “I REALLY DON’T KNOW” stands for an attitude of a whole generation. It stands for disorientation in a world of sensory overload and for the question if one’s dreams can ever come true.
This is an uncertainty not marked by desperation, but by confident perplexity.
