At NALA, we believe that beauty starts with intention. In a world where everything is fast and forgettable, we want to slow things down, to remind ourselves (and others) that how something is made matters just as much as what it looks like.

That’s why we still silkscreen.

It’s not just a printing method. It’s a lesson in colour, patience, and presence. When you silkscreen, you have to pay attention. Every colour is printed one at a time, with big silk screens that must be perfectly aligned by hand. There’s no shortcut. No “undo” button.

But here’s the fun part: we use transparent inks. So when yellow overlaps with blue, it creates green, not by adding another colour, but by layering two. If you look closely at the rabbit on this T-shirt, you’ll see that green is made from intention, not ink.

And that’s the point. When you understand silkscreen, you start to understand colour. When you understand colour, you begin to see the world differently.

This is our why. And this is how we make our universe beautiful, one rabbit at a time.

For this edition, I’m sharing the original sketches behind Radicchio & Violets — the first print in my Brutalist collection. It was inspired by the architecture of Milan, those strong, graphic forms softened by age, shadows, and stories.

There’s something about the city that moves me, the quiet elegance of its buildings, the way restraint meets romance. Radicchio & Violets is my way of capturing that tension: structure and softness, concrete and bloom.

One day, I hope Milan becomes a second (or third) home. Until then, this print is my love letter, drawn in ink, shaped by memory, and built from beauty.

To truly understand what you're drawing, you have to experience it. A field of wildflowers isn't just a visual - it's a feeling, a scent, a soundscape. You can't capture its essence from a book or a screen. You have to stand in the middle of it, breathe it in, gather it yourself.

This week in our studio, we're revealing how that raw experience becomes art. From a field bouquet to a final print, we'll share the three-step transformation during next Thursday's show.

It's a reminder that the truest inspiration comes from the real thing.
