DESIGN NAME: Fred
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bracelet
INSPIRATION: The inspiration: I often go to the theatre and like to dress for the occasion. I like to have something new and different every time I go. Once while I was thinking what to wear this time, there was a movie with Fred Astaire on the TV. I saw his sleek suit, his cuffs… and voila – the idea was born! I remembered cuffs and plastrons worn by men in the last century and decided to revive it in a modern way, this time as a part o woman garment.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: These bracelets are unique because they come as a pair. They are very light which makes their wearing comfortable
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The research was focused on finding the right dimension for the cuffs.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in March of 2012. in Zagreb and was finished in two weeks. During that time I was trying to find out the right dimension for comfortable wearing bracelets and the way to bend the plastic at home.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Cuffs are made out of light white plastic used for billboards.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Dimension, Package and Technical properties: Cuffs are 13 cm long, 12 cm high and 6 cm wide. They come in pair and are packed in an orange - pink protective pouch tied with the orange bow.
TAGS: cuffs, bracelets, accessories, fashion, plastic
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research was focused on finding the right dimension for the cuffs and finding the way to make something weareable out of the material ment for something else.
CHALLENGE: The real challenge was finding the way to bend the material at home without professional machines and to find something that would look as a cuff link. But it also was a work with many gleeful errors.
