Dream of Passion Spring Summer 2011/12
Dream of Passion Summer Range Available Now!
“I have had my vision, but in a fiction,
in a Dream of Passion”
Dream of Passion pays tribute to the two worlds we live in: the real and the surreal.
Presented through a kaleidoscope of ambiguous and dream-like situations, the collection acknowledges the fact that our reality is in fact seperate from our fantasies and dreams. However, it also states that it is just as possible for reality and fantasy to become synonomous.
The designs challenge you to examine your own reality up against your own dreams. It even tempts you, takes you one step further.
Dare to push a little harder, dare to dream outside the square, and dare to face up to your own intoxicating Dream of Passion!
Fontaine's Vision
Fontaine was once very unhappy indeed, working the 9 to 5 rut in the dreary world of micromanaged corporate Australia. Fontaine could not handle the fact that he was in a position where NONE of his talents were being utilized at all. Learning as much as he could, he made sure he soaked up as much knowledge as he needed, and made sure he kept the best of himself to himself for the time being.
Fontaine is an avid fan of travel and has explored many beautiful countries around the world! In 2009 Fontaine found himself in the South of France. Particularly this amazing beach up above, Plage De Pampoleone in St Tropez.
Whilst lying on his sunbed after a great day of swimming one later afternoon, enjoying a whole artichoke for lunch, Fontaine made an important pact with himself. He had his vision of life, a dream of passion if you will. That dream was to start his own business and be his own man. The dream was to create a unique menswear label specializing in high end t-shirts. The "Great Escape", the exodus from the corporate world was set for April 2010 for business set up. And it happened.....
One must always pay tribute and respect to inspiration!
Fontaine tips his panama hat to the late and great Yosano Akiko, Akiko's writing was truly magnificent and captured the raw essence of life. Fontaine's company quote was taken from an untitled poem by Akiko.
"I look back on my passion and realise that I have been like a blind man who is unafraid of the dark"
