MEET THE MAKERS Emilia Repetto La Cueva Vint I MEET THE MAKERS 
Emilia Repetto 
La Cueva Vint

I have a date with Emilia on Monday, basically to shop her collection.
When I landed in Menorca, her name and work kept coming up, and when I started following her mindset and makings - I was smitten. There is a jacket in her feed which has my name all over it, I mean not literally, yet.. 
it’s a workman’s sort of shirt with hand embroideries - messages and symbols - tagged up all over it. Like a delicate graffiti, the handwork is carefully placed, poetically delivered. The work of upcycling vintage and second hand clothing, reimagining it, giving it new life and meaning - it’s a movement in fashion. I can’t wait to play with her pieces and share them with you.

Meet The Makers XIMENA BIANCO 👀 Full profile in Meet The Makers
XIMENA BIANCO
👀 Full profile in stories!

The intricacies of her thought process have an outlet in her visual art, with an architect’s precision and an artists hand she makes works that are refined and elegant, and reflect a certain relationship to creation.
Volumes and geometries transferred to paper with cuts made by hand, color applied by hand.. you get the picture.
Keen eyes in the US have already inquired after a soft preview… !
And, Ximena and I are working on a sustainable design project centered around one of the worlds most renewable resources, wool.

MEET THE MAKERS Andrea Sender 👀 stories, for MEET THE MAKERS 
Andrea Sender 
👀 stories, for a full maker profile. 

If you ask me, Andrea Sender is a contemporary culture badass - a gentle, yet fierce researcher, teacher, textile artist, activist - working in her most poetic atelier in Alaior, filled with natural color, precious raw materials, looms and tools, and evocative works in process.
Her interest in working from the heart and in balance with people and nature is very real and her talent for designing beautiful items with her vision is a boon for us ! 
We have a shared obsession with wool and the misuse of this valuable heritage resource, and we’re both committed to exploring and creating solutions. I’m excited to work with her and to watch her career continue to unfold. @llanatura @llanatura_community

Ruth Minola 
👀 stories, for a full maker profile.

I spied Ruth’s work through the window of her atelier in Palma de Mallorca - her mirror birds called me in. We spoke - her smart, curious eyes and light yet very present mosaic art making magic come to life around me. I imagined having some of her mirror musings dance across a wall of a future home. I guessed there would be people wanting her work in their restaurants and bars, in boutique hotels, in meeting places, offices, etc… 
Her spot in Palma is in the Callejon Sant Feliu, a special, tucked away alley full of intriguing creatives.. it’s one of the discoveries that paved the way for me jumping into Mallorcan and Balearic contemporary culture. 

Check out her account and work.

The past stretch of months has been full. Reflecting on what to work on and when, how to best do it, whom to work with, live with, love with…✨✨and jumping in. 

The project close at hand now is simply beautiful, Slow Hand, A Balearic Makers Festival.

Unconform Studio and The Patio are excellent new partners, so eloquent in their communication of the project’s soul, so curious and lovely as curators and hosts. @thepatio_menorca @unconform.studio 

Watch this space for all the details and inspirations for our event on September 30 and October 1st in Mao at The Patio, S’Arraval 52.

Behind me is a brand activation with bells on, thanks again to dear H.Fredriksson and super Monica Colomar at her elegant boutique, Cafe Central.  Aish is still selling like hot cakes, too, last year’s activation marches on. 
And next year’s activations are already bubbling……

All this is happening while my papa is very ill in Massachusetts, with his beloved wife and my lil sis+husband looking after him, and with myself and my older sis in turmoil over how to balance our life, work, and presence with him, our precious, one and only dad, Joe Gulotta. 

Life is so outrageously full spectrum, in flux, what a ride. 
Bless us all.
