ABOUT THE NEW COLLECTIONS

For Nº22 Bag Shoe Slow and Steady Wins the Race transposes two arenas of accessories: the bag and the shoe. Recognizable design elements of basic bags: the nylon drawstring, the canvas boat bag, and sporty backpack. Two examples, one each in flat and heel format add up to six permutations in the newest shoe collection.

Nº 23 Young Bag
The twenty third collection for Slow and Steady Wins the Race begins a playful and light-hearted investigation into scale. Commonplace backpack, duffle and bucket bag, bags which are traditionally utilitarian and of a certain size for the purpose of capacity are scaled down to the size of a vanity handbag. Executed in black leather, these bags can feel both like sophisticated shadows of standards or youthful reinventions.

Nº 24 Untouchable Bag
Each named the BEST bag, the GREAT bag, the CHAMPION bag, this trio of bags forms a small but mighty collection of objects that comments on the evolution of iconic design elements. Recognizable features are arranged and rearranged to achieve something that is the farthest from recognition, resulting completely in a completely unique object that happens to function also as a bag.

Upcoming events: gallery show in Melbourne Australia

UPCOMING SHOW
Too Much of Everything, Melbourne Australia July 16 2009

"We have been invited to coordinate an exhibition in Melbourne Australia later this year (July 16 -25) and we would like to invite Slow and Steady Wins the Race to contribute. The exhibition titled Too Much of Everything is part of an annual design festival called State of Design. We have asked a group of Melbourne based artists whose work is in some way or another, informed by this broad idea of ‘design’ (with all of its socio political implications), as well a selection of more internationally known artists and designers, which at this point already includes Berlin based photographer Heinz Peter Knes and Berlin/Paris duo Bless.

For us, Slow and Steady Wins the Race presents an interesting proposition in relation to the designated roles of fashion producer and fashion consumer. We have selected a group or artists/designers that all experiment with the protocols of production, that freely expropriate the visual language, cultural codes, and functionalities typically designated by the more established categories of ‘design’ (fashion design, graphic design, product design, architecture etc.), identifying a unique position from which to interrupt (however momentarily) or interject themselves into this particular (over) flow of cultural production. We’re interested in the discourse that can emerge from traversing different activities, what can be said and what can be done with this. "
