Not sure if Mundane is really her sir name but this lady is so far from mundane it's unreal! Carri Mundane is a fashion designer/stylist and has worked with M.I.A, The klaxons, Dizzee Rascal, Nelly Furtado and more. She has collaborated with Nike sportswear on may occasions and her future primitive collection with them was inspired by Shamanic ritual and ancient civilisations. She uses these inspiration and combines them with a modern day setting creating future warriors dressed in pixels and bold warrior paint style colour. The nike collections are a combination of luxury and sportswear.
I'm feeling very inspired by this amazing designer at the moment, she combines so many things that I love. combining ancient civilisations with computer game inspiration. Her work is helping me to see more clearly where I wold like to go as a designer and for my final major project. She says that she doesn't want her work to come across as ironic or retro and thats something I can relate to. Just because I am inspired by retro computers and computer games does not mean that I want my designs to be ironic. Her work is pure and graphic and thats how I see my own work
