A Symphony of Words and Style: Our collaboration with author Larry Ma
In a delightful fusion of creativity and elegance, Brainbows teamed up with Larry Ma, resident of Europe and author of "Oldfuck and Littleshit", to celebrate the art of self-expression. This collaboration blossomed into a beautiful synergy where words and bow ties were gracefully exchanged.
A captivating photoshoot ensued, where Larry Ma graced the camera, showcasing a new collection of bow ties.
Stay tuned as we prepare to launch this exquisite collection, where every bow tie is not just an accessory, but a poetic statement.
Here's what Larry Ma wrote about this collab: "When Ellen and I got in touch, it felt like destiny's match: me, an independent author armed only with my books and bowties, and her, an independent bowtie maker from my adoptive region in East Flanders. Though we have only met twice in person, her ties have kept me company through weeks of content creation: first, as asymptotic banners of style behind a screen, and now as tangible tokens of the affection and respect that artists and artisans deserve in a world where the atomisation of cultural production pulls us further and further apart—a universe forever expanding until it's just us, with nobody else to bask in the reflected light of our star. Ellen's locally made, wholly European ties, stitched out of cork fabric from Portugal and designed to embody inclusivity and eccentricity at once, reminded me that a unique bond of craft and art could be realised—here, in situ, not in any abstract way on the pages of a book resonating to worlds that never were. I have been led to wonder: what keeps generations of content creators from breaking through the bubble of Instagram and virtual gratification to overflow into reality? Why don't we realise that there is no culture without positioning, geography, and space? Ellen's work reminded me that this is still possible, that kick-starting real partnerships with fellow creatives in Belgium is still within our reach. So, to Ellen and her magnificent bowties! Trust me, if Albert liked them, you will too!"
"Oldfuck and Littleshit" is the paradoxical, surreal, baroque and unapologetically weird story of what it means to overcome pain.
A non-binary person on a mission to kill the man responsible for their sister's death. An African kid on a quest to save the soul of his people. Two worlds, one sorrow, lots of magic: and a universe that informs them all.
