While working in Seattle,

 I had the pleasure to meet and work with this Amazing young Designer, Justin

I really liked his energy and ambition to charge at obsticles at hand.

while maintaing  balance in his celebrity lifestyle.

Since then; Justin has finished school and
 he has appeared in many charity events,
and even on T.V. reality show "the look" dealing with design

Spirit of Art photo By: LKCP2KXII

Looked outside the other day and seen a face in the clouds as I was designing.

I was lucky to capture nature while the sprit of the arts came to visit outside of the studio.

Downloading the inspiration from the Akashic abyss sent down by the rainbow.

Summer Solstice Collection

 My heart shattered into a thousand pieces when the thread broke that held the ties between fashion and mainstream. What have we woven into society that has confused the minds of the youth, to think that they are twins from separate mothers.

 What happened to the times when fashion was not a uniform but a sense of expression of the self?

 I reflect back through the looking glass sifting through each of my reflections to find the styles that

I thought too, may have been lost forever.

 Then there I be amongst all other reflections that had looked through the same glass, and we then remembered when we once were individuals. and that we had style that was not cookie cutter fashion, but raw, cutting edge, & so inspirational.

 It could be seen on the walls, in our clothes, and our hair accompanied by a dance or a name each of our character famous in its own light.

 These times seem to have died long ago, the then all of these reflections of the looking glass reminded me that history repeats itself, and that time is coming.

 We here at the Perfekt Tension labs are evolving rapidly to meet this shift in the Era of Fashion that is rising up out of the looking glass.

 Witness the shift...

 Coming into this Summer Collection.

Eklipse

How can something so beautiful be so blinding.

Such as an eclipse...

Keep in touch ;) please subscribe.

Summer Dresses Coming.

Here come summer time and I'm just starting a new collection. The challenge is switching my mind off fall jackets,

Into summer wear.

And trying to get the men's wear together as well.

Elixir...

thinking about bringing the Perfekt vests back for this summer season.

2.35 Am still Sewing...

Sewing is a race against time with no finish line, I do not think people understand how much harder this is than it seems. I am not complaining by any means. but since I have learned how to sew i have a new appreciation for well constructed garments.

We strive to keep the Love in our art here at the studio and it shows in our work. Timeless pieces that will not fall apart easily. I have often wondered what it would be like if the whole worlds option was strictly H&M would anyone step up and make better quality garments or would we just blindly follow, in a world of fast fashion mass production. 

As the industry devolves the underground is constantly changing and rapid evolving street culture is changing the ways people today perceive fashion.

One by one we wake up looking for our individual style stepping out of the mirror into being one with its reflection instead of reflecting another.

sipping on 2 kava tea bags mixed with coffee...

I get lost in the sewing machines...transmissions.

screaming to itself, i never had seen this before!
starring at her own androgynous reflection...
in the obsidian mirror.

Spring Denim

Today in the Perfekt Tension Laboratory:

Working on some spring denim fabrics =) stay tuned...

On Styles

Today in the Perfekt Tension Laboratory:

Pondering the thoughts of wtf is he/she wearing? that was the question nowadays we feel as if when looking around we say, where did he/she get that?

but the amount of impressive garb these days is minimum to none, and yet what do we seek elsewhere outside of ourselves.

well my friends we have good news from the emergence of underground designers, offering unique clothing that you will not find anywhere else.

Perfekt Tension - haute street wear is one of many secret fashion societies that offer edgy styles that are timeless yet current to trends year after year.

Currently as we bootstrap our way to the top, we also offer a discount if you mail or drop ship your own fabric to us,
paypal us here... perfekttension@gmail.com

Time fades into the future and trends do not seem to evolve but at there own pace but in the underground designs flow like a river through the vast ocean of imagination.

Stillness of black

  Have you ever worked so hard for something that it seems as if life stands completely still for that brief moment, like your starring deep into a black hole expecting to witness change in its movement.

  The only way to see its change is by feeling it, how can you witness anything that moves as dark matter unless it births a spark of light in which in its reflection you may see its movement but then there would be no space for imagination.

  Thats why at times of feeling lost & uninspired Closing your eyes and returning to the darkness, is like going back to the womb, the innocence is felt through out your being.

  Time after time we fade in and out of great ides, but only action causes results how many times have we let our thoughts fade into nothing.

  Of those thoughts how do we know that possibilities of changing the world might have taken place since we did not execute these ideas, we individually decide what is to come into being through out the ages.

  So my friends please do not give up on yourself even at the lowest points in our lives we can find solitude behind closed eyes. 

Akashic Remnants

Inoculating fabric with thread fusing sacred patterns together. Infusing the essence of confidence with in it's looks.

We do not have the answers to fix all the worlds problems but we are working hard digging through Akashic records in search of future styles.

Thank you for your support in our quest to save men's fashion. Live your dreams outside the box...

11.20 PM

It's 11.20pm about to turn 11.21 and the machine is on idle. The cape awaits its breathe of life.

Listening to sounds of underground artist while thinking of Trends to bring out to the masses.

The black elixir keeps me going through the night as the machine clatters, leaving thread trails behind for civilizations of the future...

Generations.

Time traveling through astral planes seeking trends to bring to the current lifestyles of our times.

Another Day in the Laboratory

Today is great, Bodhi is happy and we are making progress here in the kitchen.

Our mission is to try and move out the kitchen into a real studio by next year sometime.

We have more Kowls coming this weekend and also the Chef Jacket is coming soon as well.

Also thinking about designing one more jacket but as of now that decision has yet to be made, due to all the madness that's going on here right now.

Stay Tuned

3 Cycles of Mens Clothing

   When will the sewing machine gods fix my needle feed machine, I managed to reverse engineer my singer to fix the timing on the Consew straight stitch but I cant figure out how to fix the needle feed. if you have any suggestions please let me know.

   Meanwhile back at the Perfekt tension Laboratory:

   Sounds of shears cutting fabric into form, forms formulating thoughts peeling back minds eyelids, caressing the brain with artistic tentacles. bringing its host to higher level of confidence...as they seek their new home I enjoy watching as each individual piece comes to life.

   I am still seeking the root of what can be "out the box" wearable for men that has not been done yet, and still my quest continues. My boredom of men's fashion grows stronger each day, as nothing evolves but T-shirts, and shoes...props to those designers but what about the mens wear?

  Not all men's fashion is bad, but its been repeated in 3 cycles over generations and it gets more and more simple by the day, we are almost on the verge of caveman fashion...labeled post apocalyptic.

   I used to think that it is because men do not like to wear fashions, but since we have been establishing in Portland, I stand corrected on this view. 

   I found out that I am not the only one who feel this way about menswear fashion A lot of the local men in the area have told me that it is refreshing to see a new direction emerging; as more inspiration flows through the streets and as we try to capture the mystery and translate it into design.

   In the end Who knows what Perfekt Tension's Style will evolve into, but for now...we are excited to witness what creations have yet come to life....
