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.

                                                                        Barbara

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.

                                               

                                                                           Adrienne

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.

New York - 4 Luglio

New York offers endless entertainment opportunities. When pianificai my journey I realized that I was in town 'for July 4, the Feast of 'Independence .

This day is celebrated intensely, with family, friends, at sea or in the country, organizing the barbeque so beloved by Americans, then when the sun goes down everyone is waiting for the fireworks.

In NY, the city 'was emptied for the weekend, the heat (30 degrees) was unbearable, so I and my Big Brother, who decided to visit the city' for the first time, we took shelter at the New Museum of Contemporary Art New Museum located on Bowery Street.

The building is' very interesting dal punto di vista archittettonico, progettato da Sejima + Nishizawa/SANAA e dall'americano Gensler, ricorda una pila di scatole, rivestite da una struttura in alluminio annodizzato che riflette la luce sulle pareti.

Dopo una giornata di musei e camminate per la city decidemmo di unirci ai giovani di New York presso L'Hight Bar , un nuovo lounge bar sulla terrazza di un grattacielo nella zona West Side.

Dalla vista panoramica della terrazza Bar dell'Hight could well see the fireworks, long awaited by locals and I personally found it quite normal for a city 'by the economic resources such as New York. Fireworks apart from the city 'he had already' Headline exactmatch absorbed, and we were just at the beginning of our stay .........

Cari Amici di Blog,

eccomi a casa, finalmente, ho un milione di storie da raccontarvi e cose da dividire con voi, ma oggi me la voglio prendere con calma.

Invece vi parlo di questo libro, un progetto dei mie due studenti olandesi, Bart Nijssen e Nichon Glerum, due designers con i quali ho collaborato piacevolmente.

La loro esperienza di vita, due anni di studio in un gruppo multiculturare, e' racchiusa in questo libro, che celebra lo spazio chiamato " casa ".  Mi hanno chiesto di scrivere una prefazione, cosi sono anch'io nel libro. Lo considero un onore ed oggi.........che e' il mio compleanno, voglio dividere la gioia con tutti Voi.

TESTO della PREFAZIONE - scusate ma al momento l'ho solo in inglese

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I get to know a new group of Masters Students at the end of each summer; young international designers selected world wide. Sometimes they come with husbands, wives or young children. They travel light, carrying mostly a strong desire to learn and a wish to develop in different creative directions.

It is amazing how they re-arrange their lives in a new country in matter of days. A few clever vintage findings and their designer eye will results in spaces where they can work, relax and even party, without to compromise their culture or traditions.

At the Design Academy Eindhoven Interesting discussions and long hours of work are waiting ahead. Some moments of drama and a rollercoaster of creative pleasures combined with frustrations will scar their souls. They will combat daily in an imaginative field made of intensively high rewarding discoveries, multicultural discussions and designer’s dilemmas.

I will be present, fulfilling my role a bit tutorial, and a bit pastoral.

They reminds me of how much energy and courage it takes to leave everything behind. I understand them deeply, having made the same choice years ago, moving from Italy to the Netherlands.
This understanding will be our secret pact, we will unavoidably share the price of this decision.
It will be part of the struggle for becoming a better designer.
