This new collection “To the bones”, is just about that. They show the inside of the body, the other side of things. It’s the handmade thing combined with the most industrial process of production. Both sides of the story, both parts of one same thing, like them working together as a whole.

This collection is based on a short animated movie by Mexican Rene Castillo, it’s a stock motion movie about a happy burial where a man finds out he’s dead and he’s fine with that fact. He manages to have a good time in a tavern, being dead and all. “It’s death as a new start, we’re always restarting what we do”, says Carla. “From the beginning of our project, we were in the middle of the Argentine crisis and we were born again. Every collection has something to do with this”.

Flavio and Carla get attached to things and models and designs, their clothes reveal their spirit and the way they live their everyday lives. We can easily affirm they are their clothes, and the clothes are a part of them. They believe in contrast and they look for it in everything: so there’s black-white, life-death, fantasy-reality. “We pick a subject and follow it through the whole creation process”, they tell me.

Spina’s clothes are colourful and friendly. Their designers are passionate and vivacious. And we became friends in two hours.

When I leave the place, I’m filled with creative energy. The air smells like spring and I decide I deserve a new beginning too.
