That\u2019s one of the many things on the mind of designer Bibi Blangsted, who is officially launching her brand in Paris this September, specialising in white shirting that interacts with fine jewellery. The quest to create the right display for the latter has taken several weeks that included visiting marble gardens and driving past marble mountains in Italy. With a 360<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>\u00b0 <\/b>design approach, it\u2019s clear Bibi Blangsted\u2019s focus extends much beyond the classic<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>poplin shirt. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">There is something earnest about her creative method: to make something that outlives the cyclical \u2018season\u2019 and, through it, attains more emotional value. Therefore, jewellery is one of the brand\u2019s key elements as such. Think of a necklace passed down through generations, it gains something quite undefinable and transforms into an object that carries meaning beyond its life as a commodity. Bibi Blangsted\u2019s shirts follow a similar line of thought, and are approached with a timescale in mind that transcends speed and disposability. The brand aspires to bring together the luxury quality of Herm\u00e8s and the aesthetic of Jil Sander, combined with the attitude of Helmut Lang back in the 90s. All this, tied into a singular focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-56118\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/silver.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">The debut comprises six styles that each come in different types of poplin &#8211; all chosen by touch. \u201cIt should feel great,\u201d Blangsted says. \u201cIt is such an amazing feeling to wear something which makes you at ease, secure and confident.\u201d To give you an idea of the quality: the base cost of these shirts can be a lot higher than the base cost of a jacket that you\u2019d pay \u00a32000 for in a store. That sort of background information is rather telling, and as the shirts and jewellery are developed in London and made by Italian factories whose clients include C\u00e9ine and Jil Sander &#8211; truly, the product is cared for by the industry\u2019s best hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">The shirts come with their own specially crafted jewellery pieces, which have been created using both traditional and new techniques, such as 3D printing. At the back of each collar, there\u2019s a logo pendant forged by hand from bronze and plated in platinum to resist all signs of wear. \u201cI made my logo as it is for a few different reasons,\u201d Blangsted explains. \u201cOne was to create a bridge between jewellery and logo, keeping the weight and feel of jewellery authentic. The other, as a somewhat discreet branding &#8211; <\/span><span class=\"s3\">if you can consider large silver items hanging from the neck discreet. I like how it pulls the collar down ever so gently. The logo itself is a combination of an earring and a Kimball tag (the little plastic tag shot through garments for tagging prices and information). Its surface is a fusion between the notion of a draped fabric, and metal, hammered gently into shape. It is a contrast in many ways.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-56117\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/gold.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">There\u2019s a shirt that carries silver waved armbands, and another one that has 24-karat golden cuff loops &#8211; the perfect \u201cFortune 500\u201d female-CEO garment. Who has previously thought of putting such a spin on a garment that dates back to 3000BC &#8211; to merge it with jewellery which otherwise appears only where the cuff ends? <\/span><span class=\"s4\">And while Blangsted is putting the final touches to the last shirt before the showroom presentation, her display ideas are developing beyond m<\/span><span class=\"s5\">arble exclusively. They transform into\u00a0crunched mirrored steel sheets, bent aluminium rods and poplin drenched in resin.\u00a0Whichever will carry the more-than-metal weight of the jewellery as the poplins do &#8211; surely it\u2019ll be the best fit.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young designer Christel Bibi Blangsted marries haute joaillerie to fashion.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":56119,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[81],"tags":[9195,21,796,9196,9197],"class_list":["post-56070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion","tag-christel-bibi-blangsted","tag-fashion","tag-jewellery","tag-jorinde-croese","tag-white-shirt"],"acf":{"main_category":null,"legacy":"1","exclude_from_ads":null,"hero_title":null,"subtitle":null,"hero":null,"teasers":null,"facebook_image":null,"related_articles":null,"next_article":null,"sleek_card_focus":null,"content":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Bibi Blangsted Reinvents the White Shirt Bibi Blangsted Reinvents the White Shirt<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Young designer Christel Bibi Blangsted marries haute joaillerie to fashion.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/christel-bibi-blangsted-reinvents-white-shirt\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bibi Blangsted Reinvents the White Shirt Bibi Blangsted Reinvents the White Shirt\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Young designer Christel Bibi Blangsted marries haute joaillerie to fashion.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/christel-bibi-blangsted-reinvents-white-shirt\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-09-05T08:05:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek team\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3\u00a0Minuten\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
