|| Stachini
Art director Steve Stachini (founder of blackstar.STUDIO) and fashion designer and artist Charity Stachini (founder of Ji-ai Fashion House) have teamed up to produce their own "Stachini" brand of products. An architectural, clean cut range of clothing, accessories and footwear which represent their aesthetic outlook.
Steve & Charity
Off of the back of their successful collaboration of their Bowie fashion range of products based on the artwork from the blackstar.STUDIO it seemed a natural progression to launch their own Stachini brand. Charity's forte is in the creation of traditional African print fabrics and designing garments with a modern European twist. Steve's forte of graphic design has spurred him into the fashion world concentrating more on fabric designs. This husband and wife combination of skill sets produce accessible clothing to suit all budgets and sizes.
|| Product Range
Stachini fashion is a mix of branded logo garments and bold stylish items for both men and women. Offering a range to suit everyday wear, casual wear and the more elegant look, all designed with a subtle aesthetic which is aimed to create a conversation piece. Continued exploration of new ideas will ensure new and exciting additions to the ever expanding product range, not only for clothing fashion but also a move to offer home style items and even a perfume range.
|| Eco Friendly
All Stachini products are produce "on demand" per order placed, so no stock items are held. Though this method may add extra time to delivery of products, it is a way of helping the environment by not mass producing. Where possible, recycleable and sustainable fabrics are sourced from suppliers in the United Kingdom, Spain, India, China, Turkey and Uganda. Every effort is made to as eco-friendly as possible, even down to the packaging and inks used for printing.
|| Backgrounds
Charity has spent her life involved in the fashion industry, exhibiting and working as a professional model, a fashion designer and also as a mentor. With successful shows in Madrid, Valencia, Kigali and Uganda. Steve has spent his life in commercial art and design for literally all applications and in recent years applying his art in the world of fashion. Both are talented within their own rights and together they prove to be a formidable creative force.
|| Community
Together Steve and Charity Stachini formed the #JBOP group (Ji-ai blackstar Outlet Program) assisting many talented Ugandan artists and creatives to showcase their work throughout Europe. This continues to be an ongoing commitment and project with future events planned. Charity has also run a fashion mentorship school in Kampala helping a whole new generation of young designers advance with their skills and talents in order gain careers and personal goals.
|| Giving Back
With a patriotic passion for Uganda, Steve, Charity, blackstar.STUDIO and Ji-ai Fashion House also support projects in Kajjansi for disadvantaged children who struggle to get acceptance into schools for basic educational needs. Both have direct association with the Divine Day Care and Nursery School helping to raise donations and awareness as well as practical support of supplying school uniforms and essential classroom items. In fact 10% of all sales go to good causes.
|| The Personal Touch
Though "Stachini" is a serious business and brand with emphasis on ethics and ethos, the husband and wife team also like to inject a touch of playfulness and lightheartedness into some of their designs and products. They also pay great care and attention to detail and consider their commitment to quality and customer care as paramount. So much so, that you can be assured that each and every enquiry is personally dealt with by Steve and Charity themselves, and they are always available to talk to their clients.
