My Last 5 Pins: Agustina

Quirky? Whimsical? I don’t know what to call it, but she has a board devoted to masks.

Agustina’s pins can be hard to describe just right, but chances are you’ve never seen most of them before. So rather than try to explain her pins myself and do a huge injustice to the images and information behind each one, I asked Agustina for the full story and to tell us about herself in the process:

My name is Agustina, I am an Argentinian graphic designer living in Germany. I have a blog, Selva, which is as a sort of inspirational journal about art and design (especially related to textiles). Blogging and pinning, apart from showing what I’m interested in, helps me organize ideas, and then convert those ideas into a new final work.
Now, with “My Last 5 Pins” I think this is a nice way you’ll know me better. Enjoy!

1. I love the beautiful and dream-like work of Ana Laura Pérez, her drawings are expressive and very feminine. I have a Pesqueira’s T-Shirt with one of her patterns, they are amazing.

2. Gunta Stölzl was the only woman among the masters at the Bauhaus, and played a fundamental role in the development of the school’s weaving workshop. She has many interesting works, but this is the piece that I like the most.

3. I’m obsessed with desert landscapes. Those earthy textures and colors drive me crazy. This photo was taken in Brennisteinsalda, a volcano in the south of Iceland. Photo by Martin Ystenes.

4. I get really surprised by the textile designer Marit Fujiwara. She has created a collection of dresses that look like watercolor paintings using marbling, embroidery and pleating. Just wonderful!

5. Australia is the new black. And Karla Spetic is part of the current creators of the new Australian fashion. The shapes and colors she uses each season are simply gorgeous. This skirt is an example of how cute are maxi prints.
