Cytherea What Happened

New York - al FIT e visita al Mac

Do not be intimidated by the grandeur of the palace, FIT, winds up three huge buildings on 7th Avenue, a busy street. Once inside and 'like any other school, chaotic and creative, huge corridors where traces of life of students (in this If models of clothes, mannequins and more) were still there as a reminder that the school year had just ended. A break

Giel was Marissa, young designer from New Jersey (active on her blog where she writes about fashion), and as I had arrived early. I was pleased to note that the group had not made up solely of vent'enni, luckily there were girls of various ages', experience and origins (Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Canada).

Barbara Berman and Adrienne Weinfeld-Berg would have guided and inspired us during the course.

Barbara is responsible for coordinating the wardrobes of fashion models during the sflilate in NY, works regularly for Valentino ed Oscar del la Renta, ma il suo gruppo ( ha con se molte -60- giovani assistenti) si occupa anche di vestire gente del mondo dello spettaccolo ( interessante la storia di come Diana Ross non si faccia mai vedere da nessuno, Barbara le dovette passare gli abiti, durante un concerto, dalla porta mentre le guardie del corpo la controllavano a vista ), gente della televisione o di curare il look di matrimoni di divi di Hollywood.

Adrienne e' invece una editrice di moda, con esperienze ventennale, tra le varie riviste con le quali collabora ci sono Vogue Bambini (dove i suoi due figli posavano come modelli), Vogue Gioielli, e molte altre.

Entrambe le tipe erano creative, egocentriche e simpatiche, prendevano terribilmente sul serio il modo della moda ed ODIAVANO immediatamente chi arrivava con un minuto di ritardo!

Tra una parte teorica del corso e l'altra erano comrpese varie visite all'industria, interessante la visita al loft della casa cosmetica MAC , situato vicino al Flat Iron , uno dei primi grattacieli degli anni 20'.

                                      

                                     

                                     

Here the make-up artists try and experiment with new combinations for sflilate fashion. This laboratory and 'open only to professionals, not' the usual store of cosmetics. Fatima Thomas, an artist based in New York showed us the 'one example of how easy it is to donate a certain brightness' in the face with the use of a few products from the natural color. Each season, these artists help fashion designers to create and launch a new look.
