About Stephen Fuller- Founder and Company Director

Stephen started the Latex couture label Bondinage in 2003 after a successful stint as a designer for the International fashion industry and his own label Stephen Fuller. Stephen, a St Martin’s School of Art Fashion Graduate, quickly gained a reputation for using innovative materials and decided he could best express his designs with the wonderful material of latex rubber. Since then he has dressed some of the worlds sexiest women and is continually designing and making outfits for the leading Pop Divas of our time. His latex clothing can be seen in some of the most popular pop videos around, and he is continually called upon to create new looks and come up with innovative designs that keep ahead of the trends. A pioneer of printing on latex sheeting, this concept has influenced many other design companies and is still utilised by Bondinage today. His Bondinage collections are at the leading edge of fetish fashion and have a cult following of inspirational, sexy, strong, feminine women.

“ The basic design ethos of my Bondinage collection is to create well designed, sexually liberating garments that evoke a high erotic charge. A woman’s body is beautiful and can only be further enhanced with the sensuality and flattery of beautifully tailored rubber clothing. ”  Stephen Fuller

On this occasion we thought we would highlight the rucksacks range from B3. Sometimes the accessory items are missed. So big up the current range.

I was recently out at the clothes store and came across a cool
t-shirt by Diesel. The design featured some nice typography that had
been treated to some image manipulation to give an awesome effect of wet
ink, as if the design has come into contact with drops of water that
distorted the print.

I remember originally seeing a similar design by Craig Ward, with his amazing ‘Ink and water don’t mix’
design. I’m not sure whether Craig was also behind the t-shirt art, but
I fancied giving the effect a go myself, so I booted up Photoshop and
started experimenting. Follow this walkthrough to see the simple steps
of creating a similar design, using ready-made brushes to distort some
typography of our own.

Start work in Photoshop by creating a new canvas. I’ve chosen to
create a landscape poster. Set out a phrase using a classy and
sophisticated font, such as Bodoni.

Split the words into their own layers and move them into position to
form a balanced layout, align elements of the words with the letters
above and below to give structure.

We could get our hands dirty and splash some ink onto some paper and
scan in the results, but instead we can take the easy route and use
ready-made resources from generous designers and artists. Scour the web
for collections of ink splatter brushes for Photoshop. Here’s the
selection I personally picked out:

• Gradient Splats
• Coffee Stains (1)
• Coffee Stains (2)
• Coffee Stains (3)
• Sumi Ink Brushes

Download and arrange the ABR files into a file. In Photoshop click
the tiny arrow in the Brushes palette and select Preset Manager then
load all the ink brushes.

Pick out interesting ink shapes from the various brushes and paint
odd splats and runs over the type on a new layer. Adjust the size of the
brush by using the square bracket keys.

Tailor the shape of the ink splatter towards a similar area of a
letter, so for instance if it’s a long ink mark, paint this over a
suitably long, straight letter.

Give some letters some major distortion by adding plenty of ink marks, but keep the words legible when viewed at 100%.

Some brushes in the set are created with paint brushes. Since this
design is meant to look like it’s naturally distorted by water drops,
just pick out the drops, splats and subtle drips.

You can reuse brushes while avoiding any repeating shapes by rotating
the brush in the brushes palette. Grab the circular crosshair to adjust
the angle.

When the design is nearing completion, download some spraypaint brushes to make use of tiny drips to add some little touches to the design.

Download a grungy paper texture
to add some visual interest to the background. Desaturate the image and
drop the opacity right down to 15% to leave subtle background tones.

Take a look over the design at 100% and make any final tweaks. Adjust
the opacity of any layers that are taking too much prominence, and use a
small soft round brush to blend in specific areas of ink and text.

“This is the T-shirt we’ll be wearing this summer, in aid Harry Becher’s Too Many Women fundraising campaign for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Harry has created a network of 201 female ambassadors, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Wimbledon winner Serena Williams, who are raising funds this year, and asking nine other friends to do the same. Genevieve Chapman’s group asked artist friend Vanessa Garwood, who trained in Florence and exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery, to make a glamorous daub on a white cotton T-shirt, £27, to raise money”.

Launched online on 14th May at www.mepod.co.uk, mepod t-shirts feature a
stylised baby that expresses women’s interests pre-pregnancy – focusing on activities and indulgences that go on hold for nine months.

Whether it’s the putting a halt to gym membership, parking up the bike, missing a ski season, or simply craving a daily coffee fix – the tees provide women with a stylish slogan t-shirt with designs that are worn on the bump – far beyond anything else in the maternity market.

mepod’s creator Lucy Sibbald commented: “The aim with mepod is to create a brand of t-shirts that you would consider wearing even if you weren’t pregnant. My major gripe when I was carrying my two littlies was the lack of excitement surrounding the clothes out there – mepod is something we want women to look forward to wearing. Loving sport pre-baby, I also wanted people to know that I did ‘stuff’ too it was just on hold, and mepod does just that, letting women give an insight into their lifestyles and giving them an identity beyond the bump – the ‘me’ behind the pod.”

mepod talks beyond natural birth versus epidural, breast versus bottle – topics that so often consume mother-to-be – mepod is about the woman behind the baby bump and the life they will bring to their child.

mepod t-shirts retail at £30 – take a peek in the pod at www.mepod.co.uk

With light summer knitwear Naketano is extending its former collection, providing even more comfort on hot summer days: bamboo is the innovative natural fibre which cools in summer and warms in winter. Compared to cotton, clothing made of bamboo viscose fibre does not crease and can be ironed at a very low temperature. The material does not shrink when washing and is quick to dry.

The creative heads from Naketano in Essen have also worked on the cuts, patterns and colours. Naketano is becoming more and more feminin, featuring a great choice of dresses. Naturally, the “feel good” and individuality factor still have top priority. The new forms, such as A- and O-silhouettes, create a symbiosis of nonchalance and elegance. The same applies for the many female elements – smocking, gathers, box pleats, cording, volants and frills, to name a few.

The new collection is not missing the famous Naketano hoodies, neither. The Naketano colour-blocking hoodies are supplemented by rounder patches.

Last but not least, the collection is completed by light, waisted summer jackets made of soft polyester, as well as a partly smocked summer coat. The pleasantly soft jackets are available in three lengths (short, medium, long).

Flourishing fashion – with the Naketano summer collection 2010!
