Soundtrack: Rockit vol. 59 – speciale MI AMI 2014 [free streeming & free download]

I’m so indie that I listen to indie music.

I’m so indie that I love handmade and independent publishing markets.

I’m so indie that I would stay hours watching Baronciani while he’s drawing.

I can do nothing about that.

Since I know enough about music, but I can’t write about it, I dedicate my report to market stalls.

Thing that make me so indie, by the way.

Those who were there will find here links to a good selection of exhibitors, as they would have lost the business cards into the grass, or in the super dark chemical toilets.

And the others have now the possibility to find out what they missed and make up for.

Get ready for a long long but ridiculously good looking article. This is just part #1.

S*Art Lab

Unique hand made and heart made clothes, clear lines and fabrics matched with a very fine taste. Sara’s passion for vintage is revealed through her style in cutting and details.

I could not resist and model Koiso is now mine!

Miss Pineapple

Serra comes from Turkey and works in Milan. She presented a collection of cloacks inspired by the tales at last Fuorisalone.

It is certainly a girl that can’t go unnoticed, thanks to her mega green &  black hairstyle. But it’s her talent that really matters.

At MIAMI she brought a series of t-shirts and bags decorated with illustrations of pineapple inspired by the old school tattoos.

Nighiri tee

Alessandro launched very recently this brand of hand-printed tshirt: MIAMI was the first occasion he had to present his creations. In this new adventure he’s not alone: his brother  Nicolò and his friends Bob, Laura, Francesca, Lisa and Marco are helping and encouraging him.

T-shirts are printed with handmade drawings inspired by the two great passions of the designer: the Japanese culture and the traditional old school art.

As he was at the first experience, setting, gadgets, stickers and marketing in general were very well done, in the same way, or maybe better than others with more experience.

Noe’s Mind

Noelia is a spanish crafter (from Barcelona) who is living in Italy for only 7 months and in recent times is testing her innate artistic ability.

Thanks to her mind, producing surreal dream-like, sweet and a bit melancholic atmospheres, she is able to reproduce her illustrations on accessories, bags, fabrics, with materials (and results) of the highest quality.

Staircase Wit

Chiara doesn’t produce handmade objects, but has instead decided to promote young creatives in her e-commerce. It’s all by herself, she chooses personally the products, she curates the website and the blog, so she is a maker too, in her own way: her website reveals a genuine passion for what she does. Her taste does the rest.

I admire her because she makes would I dream to, and every page of her shop is a love at first sight! Tell me I’m wrong!

Update: from 2017 the project changed name and become a physical shop too in Salerno (and in the future in Bologna): Fitzroy – Tutto illustrato.

Barbootho

Francesco developed his skills as a graphic designer working for others in the textile industry, designing prints, labels, embroideries and patterns. Like many other people in the recent years, and not less bravely, he decided to devote himself, helped by his girlfriend Ivona, to the production of his own handmade products: hand painted t-shirts, fabric earrings, wood and polymer clay brooches.

Animals and geometry are now the most outstanding inspiration, making Barbootho collection a very coherent but not ordinary at all.

Titoo for you

Tattoos are all the rage. Temporary tattoos maybe even more. They also remind us of our childhood summers, when we called them trasferelli and we transfered them, in fact, on any surface, including our faces.

Giulia, architect, and Marta, graphic designer, took this adventure few months ago. They don’t have an online store by now, but they are mainly focusing on markets, events and private parties, because as they say, tattoos are meant “for grown ups that feel like children and for children who want to act like grown ups”.
