fans...tastic

i didn't think that moving into mass production would be as fun as it actually is. My ultimate goal is to move into accessories and cater to a broader market. (smart thinking clemente) Fans is one of my secret ... and now not so secret... projects. This will be one of the new accessories we will release for Summer 2010. I stumbled upon some amazing ones that i've been using as inspiration for the line. In my research i've also learned a lot about the language of the fan:

In the past, hand fans were used not only as cooling instruments, but also as convenient communication devices, mainly for transmitting more or less furtive love messages. A language of the fan, which is today completely forgotten, was widely used. 

Resting the fan on her lips: "I don’t trust you" Fanning herself with her left hand:

"Don’t flirt with that woman

Running her fingers through the fan’s ribs:

"I want to talk to you"

Slowly fanning herself :

"Don’t waste your time, I don’t care about you"

Quickly fanning herself:

"I love you so much"

Moving her hair away from her forehead:

"Don’t forget me"

Passing the fan from hand to hand:

"I see that you are looking at another woman"

Hitting her hand’s palm:

"Love me"

Carrying the fan closed and hanging from her left hand:

"I’m engaged"

Carrying the fan closed and hanging from her right hand:

"I want to be engaged"

Quickly and impetuously closing the fan:

"I’m jealous"

Dropping the fan:

"I belong to you"

Resting the fan on her heart:

"My love for you is breaking my heart"

Half-opening the fan over her face:

"We are being watched"

Hitting any object:

"I’m impatient"

Hiding the sunlight:

"You’re ugly"
