This search is a worldwide project joining countries and communities across the globe forming a network of visual thinkers.
YOU MAKE ART = WE MAKE BAGS
Deschini has launched into the art/fashion world with its first season, Fall/Winter ’06. A new idea, with strong artists and designers, Deschini has been picked up by Holt Renfrew and designer boutiques across Canada and the Untied States. We are developing our Spring/Summer ’07 line right now and need strong artists to be involved.
FALL/WINTER ‘06
For our first season we worked with eight artists from eight different locations:
Cope2 (The Bronx), Bem (New York), Craola (Los Angeles), Take2 (Chicago), JeurgenSpecht (Tokyo), Onset (Toronto), Does (Sao Paulo), Anton (Estonia).

SPRING/SUMMER ‘07
[ART] We’re focusing, again, on Graffiti Art for our next season; freight burners, legals, bombing, and anything else you think would be of value. Work will be juried and selected on the basis of artistic merit, the artist’s involvement in the graff community, and their work’s compatibility with the season’s bag designs. Work not short-listed for the spring/summer ’07 season may be considered for upcoming seasons.
[CONTACT] If you’d like to be involved contact me at benprus@hotmail.com. You may also contact us via our website, http://www.deschini.com, ATTN: Ben, Image Curator.
[WORK] Digital photographs should be in either tiff or jpeg format and no less than 1600 x 1200 pixels in size. Compromised photo quality will not be accepted (but, when in doubt, send the image and if we’re really interested, we’ll work it out).
[DEADLINE] A.S.A.P. - First cutoff at Friday May 26 @ 10:00pm EST (Canada). Final cutoff at Saturday May 27 @ 6:00pm EST (Canada). Please make the deadline or there isn’t much I can do.
