Our 2 weeks mini collection - Dreams do come true :)

We had a bit of trouble finding fluidity in the last two collections but we eventually produced something we were comfortable showcasing.  Being committed to producing a mini collection every week has proven quite difficult - but it has been so fulfilling.  Enjoy.  The following are the result of 2 week's worth of designing and creating. 

Our Crotchet top and velvet legging.


Lilac dress with fringe detailings


Lingerie lace inspired dress


Draped Satin top with our flowing chiffon harem trouser


Our signature hand smocked jersey dress


Brigh and sunny pink chiffon with cut out details


Our hand beaded with feathers and mirror embellishments top and tiered skirt

Have a great week our Instagram, facebook, snapchat, pinterest, tumblr, twitter and youtube lovers! 

Thank you for all your support.  Feel free to email us with any questions and/or pieces you would like.  Stay tuned for more..  

Lots of love xoxo

The triad collection: the beginning, middle and the end.

Necessity is the mother of invention.  This was a pretty difficult week to come up with something different compared to last weeks emotionally filled collection.  I made some pieces that didn't make the cut because it looked too similar to what came before, plus there were problems with the fabric and the fit.  Aside from this minor setback, we managed to put together an elegantly powerful and brave new collection.  

With difficulty comes inventiveness and ingenuity, and with the editing eye of both my brother and Colin, our  pieces will only get stronger.  Its ok if some pieces don't work, its how you pick yourself up that matters.  In the past I got discouraged too easily and stopped creating all together.  Whether its good or bad, you just have to keep going and persevere.   I've learned to apply this in all aspects of my life, and this triad collection reminded me that change is constant in life.  Embrace all that life has to offer, from the very beginning, the middle and the very end.  Enjoy our Paswera Lovers xoxo


This piece started the collection last week.  I wanted to do something different and play with textures and different fabrics.  It was a polarizing piece that took us a while to fall in love with, but what I loved about it, was that it had an elegant sporty bohemian edge to it. Aesthetically I always strive to combine elegance with a sporty and bohemian rock edge.  
When I start to veer away from this, both my brother and Colin play a major part in editing and styling the pieces.  For the piece below it all worked.  The combination of the jersey and see through checkered fabric and white fringe all worked beautifully.  You will definitely feel powerful, elegant and fierce when you wear this piece!




Our middle piece, was a clash of the white stripes.  This wide leg palazzo pants was one of my favourite.  The vertical and horizontal pinstriped fabric creates a mohemian (modern bohemian) piece.  Paired up with our classic sporty top, you're ready to stand out and go with the flow.




In the end, you want to live your life like a sequined fabric.  You want to sparkle and shine.  Live a life thats full, exciting and never boring.  This sensual classic sequined blazer  will be my go to piece to add some glamour.  Be crazy, sexy, cool, our 90's supermodel lovers. 





Until  next week, reinvent yourselves, and change.   Try and make this journey exciting. Live, Love and Laugh xoxox

Many thanks to all our Paswera Lovers.  Help spread the love and join us on the many fun social media sites that we're a part of ! (Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest,  Facebook, Youtube,  and Snapchat)

WIth love,

A New life : The Four Colors of the Apocalypse

Every end is a new beginning.   Grief and love are conjoined, you don't get one without the other.  That's the beauty of life.  Our lives are a collection of new and old fragmented memories. We co-exist with our new and old selves.  A collection of a new life amidst the four colors of the apocalypse.

For each collection we grow stronger as a team. From the clothes, styling, art direction and photos.  We embrace change as we transition into our new selves, and experience and create more memories. Enjoy our Paswera lovers!


We fell in love with the fur texture of this fabric while the pale nude color adds to its sensuality.  This fur crop top with crotchet details is the perfect piece for our sacred spiritual selves.  But be cautious when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.  



Our sweet and flirty pink polka dot dress brings out our optimistic but fragile side.  Care-free and fun loving, as you twirl in a strange new world.  Dressed in pink makes the boys wink :)



Feel blue in our fluid draped jersey with a sweet touch of rosy pink hair.  Wear it and feel like a siren that sings her last song.   The end of that beautiful strange song brings new life in your divine nature.




We are all spiritual beings created to be a vessel covered and draped in both light and darkness.  This was a dress that symbolizes the divine female spirit.  For it is her who gives birth to us - so too will she destroy us.




Our sensual and ethereal nature is a part of our spirituality. For every end has a new beginning, we transcend and rise from this earthly existence to be amongst the heavenly creatures.

Be well and and at peace our Paswera lovers xoxo Live, Love, and be beautiful from the inside out. 

xoxo

The remnants of our new 4 piece collection

Sometimes when we feel lost or unsure about the future, we begin to doubt the decisions we have made  and our reasons for being.  It's perfectly natural to feel this way and it's OK.  Our journey is made up of fragmented life pieces that slowly begins to come together like a puzzle.  

The old saying of "losing yourself in order to find yourself" speaks volume to us.  We've never felt so free in losing ourselves in doing what we  love.  This lead me to start thinking of piecing together fabric remnants that I have held onto from different stages of my life to create and design our mini collection for this week.

This leather patched sweater jacket with contrasting knit sleeves we're all fabric remnants that I have saved over the years.  It came out really comfortably on both Colin and myself. Soft and cozy. Keeping it simple and unisex. Be a boy , be a girl, be neither, just be :) xoxo




Our down to earth disco bohemian cardigan, with brown luxe pailete sequins and knitted leather patch were all remnants of our artistic dreams.  It's so dreamy and looked beautiful on both Colin and I.  It may not be for everyone but just like any art piece some people get it and some people don't.  Art is subjective and we're all for individual expressions and respecting those who are artistically different from you. No one piece of art or personal style is better than any other.  We paired it up with our draped jersey wide legged romper like a Coachella gypsy ready to dream.


Looking  at my other fabric stash I found an embroidered black lace fabric and I paired it with our faux leather fabric. We also want to create another leather version for those who love to wear genuine leather. We want to lace you up with our love.  This was paired up with our python fringe knit jersey dress. Python and lace that's found running wild out in the Amazonian jungalll



This vest made us smile especially with our pink leatherade and vinyl fabric combination. Complete the look with a couple of banana head piece and a pineapple to bite on. We paired it up with our black mini taffeta billowy skirt.

This whole look was about having fun and making faces at ourselves.  There's a time to be smart, sexy,  and classic like from our previous shoot. Today we wanted to showcase our sense of humour. Have fun, laugh and explore your inner Barbie chiquitita couture and don't be afraid to have fun and be the color in someone else's pineapple filled lives.





Overall our mini collection started off on a rocky slow start due to having a cold.  We pulled it off still.  Kudos again to my brother and Colin for piecing together another fun artistic shoot. 

For all of our new and current Paswera lovers,  who would love to rock our pieces we will be accepting orders as most of you beautiful guys and dolls have been asking.  Thanks for being patient.

We also want to say a big big thank you to all of our instagram lovers.  Before we started this year we had just 50 beautiful Paswera lovers and now we're at about 1.3k beautiful Paswera lovers and counting.  You all continue to inspire us to design and dance our hearts out. 

Regardless of how many people we reach, we will continue to design and love like we've never been hurt before. 

Until next week,  Live,  Love,  and dance to your own beats.  Paswera Label loves you!

Here's our video montage , have fun and enjoy

The Five U collection: Unisex Unitard Urban Unapolegitic Unicorn collection... U know xoxo

This week we challenged ourselves to dance out of our comfort zone and push our design capabilities.  We wanted to further explore items that can be worn by both genders or gender non-conformists.  Our brand DNA (dancing non-conformist angels) will always be for those free spirited people who "take the good, and take the bad, take them both, and there you have the facts of life, the facts of life" :)

Technically, this weeks designs were a lot more challenging.  However, creating 3 intricate spring jackets to add to our mini-collection was a very fulfilling and learning experience.  Previously, I had only attempted designing and creating jackets way back in my university years.  I wanted to grow as a designer, so this is my second attempt at it. :)  I had fun, and spent many a sleepless stressful nights, but in the end it was worth it!  These jackets looked really good on myself and Colin, and I'm sure it will look amazing for all of our Paswera lovers.   Enjoy!   

Our first design, was our take on a modern Uni-sex/corn crop sportswear jacket.  It is a combination of clear vinyl plastic with a black and white striped fabric.  We needed something to wear , both Colin and I , and perhaps my brother, when we go to the gym or prepare for our first fashion marathon.  We paired it with a simple black legging and heels, but it's a pretty versatile piece to wear with almost anything or nothing, if you like lol.







This second outfit, we had created our second Uni-sex/corn spring jacket paired with our nude crop top and matching skirt.  This black and white houndstooth fabric spoke to me and it wanted to be made into a jacket.  I couldn't say no so I decided to pair it with our black sequined fabric.  This piece is also pretty flexible, wear it dressy like how we've styled with our nude barely there crop top and skirt, or as we've styled it on Colin below.  His and Hers, His and His, Hers and Hers spring jacket, wear it and have fun.




Who run the world ?? girls.... Who are we? ..This powerful creature, sensual and sexy, bohemian and modern , naked but covered in a hand crotchet moulded body suit was a dream collaboration with my talented friend Maureen, or as we call her Momo.  She does amazing hand crotchet pieces, and we will for sure work together.  Stitch and bitch all night long. We paired it with our third spring jacket: a crop leather jacket with contrasting lapels.  This jacket was the hardest of them all to create.  I had only worked with leather once, and that was a simple vest.  Leather is a very transformative fabric to work with, but it's inspired me to work with other fabrics that I want to start mixing with.  Next up more vinyl? perhaps latex ? It would be a dream come true if there exists a crotchet latex fabric, going to do more research on it.  But for now, be BOLD and BITCHEEE only if needed, in our Unitard Unicorn body suit.



We can't just have one body suit this week.  This fabric magically appeared thanks to Colin who found a stash of my unused fabric. Naturally, I wanted to slither into a snake printed piece.  Slick your hair back and take a stance on what you love.  




Be a boy and wear our Unisex houndstooth sequined jacket for spring.  Colin is model-ready to go to NYC with my brother in this outfit.  The way my brother styled it gave this jacket a polished sporty vibe.  It's one of our favourite piece. We will do more pieces like this in our upcoming mini collection.




Another one of our Unisex crop leather jacket was styled up nicely with a pop of color and leather shorts, just because we love it. Colin's looking fashionably tough as he channels his boy next door outfit.  We're ready for you.




Our last Unisex spring jacket is our see through vinyl mixed with black and white strip fabric.  My brother styled it really nicely and gave this piece an alter ego via Colin's je ne sais quoi.  Again, we're excited how this jacket turned out and it can be styled in so many different ways.


Another successful mini-collection for this week.  The Paswera label holy trinity team -my brother William, Colin and myself did it again! 

We're excited to bring more pieces together.  To all of our Paswera Lovers who would love to rock these outfits, wait no longer, we're working patiently on our online shopping website very soon.  Thank you for following our creative journey, and hope you're all making your dreams come true, one outfit at a time

Until next week xoxo - Live , Love and Dance- Paswera Label loves you!

4 Piece Balletic Surf Beat collection

What does the world of ballet, surfing and hip hop have in common? A state of "flow". I'm always drawn to the dualities that exists both in nature and our past, and present culture and sub-cultures.  As I was designing this mini collection I started reading an article written by psychologist Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi.  He coined the term of being in a state of "flow".   In short what he meant by this was was that when we enter this state of mind we are completely engaged in a present moment, enjoying that action and letting all other stressors stay in the back of your mind. 

This state can be achieved by countless activities: designing, playing chess, writing music, surfing, dancing, painting, and the list goes on. The main point is that the motivation to do these activities must come from within yourself.  But in order to enter this mental state of flow there are several components that must be met:
- The activity must have clear goals and objectives.
-The task must have clear and immediate feedback.
-One must have a good balance between the perceived challenges of the task and their perceived skills. A task too difficult may cause frustration.

I think that's why our 4-piece collection each week have been pretty successful, in the midst of a chaotic and unpredictable world we live in.   We've been subconsciously channeling a state of  "flow".

Each sunday, my brother, Colin and I have fun , laugh, argue, deal with technical difficulties in getting the right hair for each outfits ,  but we suddenly create magical moments captured on pictures and videos.  We have a clear goal and objectives for the week and that is to capture the essence of each and everyones natural abilities.  My brother's eye for editing and directing (even with pink eye this week :( lol), Colin's abilities to turn a photo and create a piece of art and capture a moment, and my love for designing and the creative process.  Enjoy this weeks mini collection our Paswera Lovers. xoxox

This prima-ballerina ivory chiffon dress melts our hearts.  It's our romantic and softer side.  A dress that flows and drapes with your emotions.  Her gentle demeanor shows her compassion for others.  She dances away all her fears and insecurites to clear her mind and stay focus.  Go on and take a twirl ,even when people stare and laugh, just be you and don't be afraid to stand tall and speak your mind.




This was another of our draped soft dress with an asymmetrical neckline, mixed with a checkered and floral pattern.  For days when all you want to do is just walk and be at peace.  Keep it simple and chic.




Our red patterned two piece crop hooded sweater with a matching pencil skirt came together as I was listening to an indie female rapper Santigold.  Check her out for those that haven't heard of her yet.  Its a bit tribal / hip hop / dance mix.  Love it.  I plan on wearing this when I start rapping :) xoxo



This fabric was courtesy of Colin and his great vintage find :) Thank you , thank you!
It inspired me to channel my inner surfer girl.  I've always loved being near a body of water and watching a beautiful tidal wave of water.  This also brings me back to my days where I was fortunate enough to visit LA and walk around Venice beach.

This outfit is colorful and flirty with just the right amount of sex appeal :P  It's a two piece patterned matching ensemble.  The brallette crop top can be worn on the beach or dressed up with a matching soft pink leather mini skirt and side patterned fabric and killer heels.  OR you can just wear it and pose as sexy or artistic like how we styled the shoot.  Be fun and fearless and wave your hair around like you just don't care.




P.S.  *** REMEMBER TO ALWAYS CHASE YOUR DREAMS... IN HIGH HEELS OF COURSE XOX muah ** 

Till next week Paswera Label loves you.  Live , Laugh and be beautiful inside and out.
