Claudia Cabrero | Elodie Details - "Elodie Details Likes"25 okt, 2018 Spanish mother, teacher and photographer Claudia Cabrero inspire us daily with her passion for portrait & storytelling photography. Her beautiful imagery makes us wish we ourselves would stumble upon some hidden artistic camera skills. - Who is Claudia Cabrero? I’m a woman, 35 years of age, living in Spain with my two little girls. I’ve been telling stories for a long time, first through my work in theatre and nowadays through photography. I lived in France for 10 years as a child, and today I work as a French teacher and photographer. - When did you first pick up a camera? I bought my first reflex camera 6 years ago, before that I just took pictures with automatic mode. It was only 2 years ago that I became seriously interested in it and started learning more through online courses. - What or who inspires you the most right now? My little daughters of 3 and 5 years old inspire me every day, specially at the village, where they feel completely free and it allows me to capture magical everyday moments. - Where does the love for storytelling come from? My father wrote books and poems some years ago, and now he’s writing a new novel. He’s always been a very creative man and I guess I am father’s daughter in that sense. - What is your favourite story to tell/capture?   It’s always my daughter’s experiences growing up. They inspire me and give me the chance to express myself through photography.

FOOTMUFF OR BABY OVERALL | Elodie Details - 20 sep, 2018 What is the right choice for you and your baby? Whether you’re a fan of winter or not, you’re going to be leaving the house at some point. Maybe just to stretch your legs a little, refill the diaper stash or to proudly show off your little miracle. A little fresh air is great for your baby´s health. We Swedes inevitably discovered at some point that the cold air can be a great help for nap time. So, practical winter baby gear will be needed – and it doesn’t hurt if it’s stylish. Over the years we’ve learned quite a bit about these products, as we’ve created and refined not one but two variations of footmuffs and a baby overall. Here are some of the insight we’d like to share; First off, let us start with some great things about the Classic Footmuff: Many babies dislike being stuffed into clothing with sleeves, as it restricts movement. Getting a baby into a snowsuit is an unnecessary trial. The size should last up to three years of age. With babies growing in to kids at high speed a high quality, large enough footmuff will be a good choice for your wallet. Temperature control is important. Reduce heat quickly by opening the zipper on both ends. Or easily remove the top all together on those times when the “just a quick pop in” visits become a very long “pop in”.   Some great things about the Baby Overall: The Baby Overall is perfect for your baby’s first months of travelling. The thin yet warm material is perfect for transitions between indoor and outdoor. On the go! Whether you’re at the store or away on vacation this practical overall gives you easy access for diaper changes anywhere. The double zippers make it possible to open the Baby Overall up all the way. Movability. Using zippers at the bottom you can quickly convert it from a slightly more restricting overall, to a free-kickin’ footmuff. Babies do like to use their legs when ever they can.  Still not sure what to go for? Here are a few things you might consider when choosing a Footmuff or Baby Overall: The price point. A higher price point often means better materials, and nothing is more important in a winter product. While you can still get use out of a less expensive Footmuff or Baby Overall you should always opt for great quality when it comes to baby winter gear. Just like when you choose a winter jacket for yourself. Universal Fit. With a wide range of strollers & car seats on the market you should look for a universal fit product. Maybe you’ll want or need to update your stroller? Make sure your footmuff can follow with you.  Baby’s age/month of birth: This might be the most important factor to consider. Make sure you get a size that will be right for when winter comes around. With our footmuffs though, you need not worry about this, as they function just great with both new-borns and toddlers. And the high quality ensures it will keep functioning (plus add great second-hand value). Elodie Details online kaufen. Offizieller Online-Shop. Jetzt bestellen!

THE STORY | Elodie Details - Valleys of Himalaya 6 sep, 2018 It’s now been a week since the release of the new autumn collection, and reactions so far have been overwhelmingly positive. We sat down with founder and Creative Director Linda Sätterström to learn a bit more about how this collection was created. Linda, what was your starting point for this collection? When I started planning for it, my basic idea was that I wanted to create something a bit different from what we usually do. You know, kind of throw the rules out the window and just create. I wanted a collection with a lot of patterns where you felt compelled to mix and use them together, layer upon layer, without them necessarily “matching”. And I guess I wanted to move away from the world of pastels where we’ve been living for a while now.  So you started looking for inspiration? Yes, and it took a while before I discovered the folk art and crafts of Tibet, where this approach seems to have been used since forever. There are patterns on everything! And they use layers upon layers of different colours, patterns and materials. Brass, gold, leather, fur - I just fell completely in love with it and felt I wanted to incorporate this aesthetic in our collection.Are the prints authentically Tibetan then?  No, you couldn’t say that. I think it would be difficult to apply them directly to baby accessories. My team and I brought the inspiration with us down to Milan, where we spent a few days in the fashion district trying to figure out how to adapt that Himalayan feel to our western audience. We found a lot of inspiration in ways of applying it, especially in an art exhibit in the Rossana Orlandi gallery.  Around town there where scarves everywhere, and we realized we could make our blanket prints in “scarves-patterns”, which was really fun to do. And monkeys, monkeys everywhere. Perfect since there are indeed monkeys in Nepal and Tibet, and since a cheeky little monkey is a great way to introduce the more playful feel we always try to keep in our collections. So Playful Pepe became sort of the figure head for this collection. Also, the fur trend from 2017 was obviously still going strong, so developing Not FUReal as part of the collection was a given. The faux fur Stroller Bag is quite unique, and unique stuff is always fun to create. In fact, I think this collection is the most fun I’ve ever had developing.  Was it all fun, or where there any difficult challenges? Not really, the only hard part was not going overboard and creating too much. When your approach is that anything goes, and everything can work well together, then you end up with a lot of ideas and only so many of them can be realized. So, a lot of fully developed prints had to be thrown out.  Finally, any advice on how to make this collection work best for your customers? Well, as I’ve said, this collection is all about layer on layer. Try the different prints together in various set ups. And don’t be afraid to add colours that “shouldn’t work” because, you know, they probably will. Put a lime green scarve on, or a maybe a pair of yellow leg warmers? Make it fun! Being fun is always trendy.  Elodie Details online kaufen. Offizieller Online-Shop. Jetzt bestellen!
