Diana Sokolic ("DS") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Fred Bracelet. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
DS : I often g to the theatre and I like to dress for the occasion. I like to have something new and different every time I go. Once while I as thinking what to wear this time, there was a movie with Fred astaire on TV. I saw his elegant figure, his sleek suit, his cuffs...and viola! The idea was born.
DS : The idea was to make something nice and wearable, something different from usual jewelry. 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 of women garment.
DS : Plan is to distribute FRED to concept stores.
DS : Designing was not a long process. I had a very clean picture in my head. So draw it, made a cut out of paper, tried several dimensions and that was it.
DS : Being an artist by proffesion, for me art is the way of living. I have the strong urge to design space around me, things I use or wear... These cuffs are just one of things I have designed to meet my estetic standards.
DS : I intend to produce work myself.
DS : I have designed this because of a lack of stetement fashion details.
DS : Target for my product is every self-confident woman .
DS : There is no similar design or resembling concept :)
DS : Being an artist by proffesion, the painter, my main tool is paper and pencil. I drew few sketches, than made a cut out of paper and than started making cuffs .
DS : The uniqueness pf this design is that a piece of mans garment is used as womans jewelry.
DS : Knowing contemporary materials is here more important than technology.
DS : Chalenge was the LACK of technology i.e. trying to produce the designed item at home without any professional equippement.
DS : I wear my cuffs a lot and they are both noticed and liked. I wanted to explore the opinion of professional audience.
DS : Every new design is a new challenge because it puts new questions and new problems in front of the autor. Solving those problems improves the author himself.
