Ok, prometto che questo e' l'ultimo post su NY, in caso siate intenzionati a trascorrere qualche giorno in questa grande metropoli eccovi alcune note travel to places and trends that I noticed during my stay: *

poetry installation Starn brothers at the Metropolitan Museum, a beautiful nest of bamboo ', a structure

organic that is improved, controlled and re-invented every day by two brothers.

* our hotel - Marcel at Gramercy - had a beautiful lounge with terrace, the view was perfect at dusk and dawn. Gramercy is a very nice neighborhood, boasts many historic buildings, which are located mainly around Gramercy Park. What the residents appreciate the area are mainly peace, security, exclusivity of organizations located here (such as the Players' Club, the Poetry Society of America and the National Arts Club), in addition to the large amount of fine restaurants and cultural sites. Most buildings are detached houses and brownstones, but in recent years, has started the construction of new buildings and skyscrapers, that have made this exclusive area more accessible to newcomers.

* TOMS - shoes used by almost all the models I have encountered, a kind of espadrilles with humanitarian project in tow, for each pair of shoes sold is donated to the value of a couple more to charity

NY * on a hot, with temperatures from the oven, there 'nothing more' relaxing than a visit to Sally's Spa - a center near our hotel, where experienced Korean ladies you indulge in a pedicure & manicure as I've never found - read that resitesteva a week! The products are the most ESSIE 'used in NY. For people like me who does not love his hands in vibrant colors too, offers a 'bare incredible range of colors and natural tones that e'impossibille to find here in Holland. Also have a 'look at their nice blog . Fatemi sapere se trovate questa marca in Italia......
*il FIT ha anche un museo , purtroppo, sepur locato vicino al palazzo delle mie lezioni, dato l' intenso programma del mio corso, non sono riuscita a visitarlo. La mostra del momento (aperta fino a Novembre) era inerente la moda ecologica. Date un' occhiata qui per una preview.

New York - il servizio fotografico

Daphni - Elite NY

La prossima volta che sfogliate una rivista di moda vi prego di considerare l'incredibile ammontare di lavoro che richiede un servizio fotografico. Sembra semplice, ma in realta' e' un lavoro di team, dove il Fashion Director e lo stilista ricoprono un ruolo importante.

Nel mio caso, il mio gruppo al FIT doveva creare un servizio fotografico per la rivista Visionaire .

Si tratta di una rivista alquanto esclusiva - ogni numero costa 100 dollari - che vuole stimolare i professionisti del mondo della moda, offrendo una combinazione tra arte, moda e fotografia.

Io non conoscevo questa rivista americana, ma una notte di ricerca on line fa miracoli, ed il giorno dopo sapevo che un servizio di moda per Visionaire non era il solito " servizio ".

Con il mio gruppo decidemmo di andare alla ricerca della modella dal look trasgressivo , dramatic and a bit 'conceptual that seemed to fit the tone of the magazine.

The super mega fashion agency Elite NY, appeared to also choose between some girls.

After a careful visit to various department stores - thanks to the contacts we visited the FIT plans are not open to the public where the heads used for other photo shoots, fashion shows are held - the choice of clothes fell on some black leaders rigorously, in particular tissues, such as the warrior's head broke in 'found in the 5th Avenue store Blanc de Chine .

Alle 9.00 di una caldissima - 42 gradi -  mattina di luglio, ci ritrovanno presso lo studio del fotografo Michael Craegh , non lontano da Time Square.

La make up artist Yuko Takahashi e lo stilista dei capelli, Jerry Lopez  ci aspettavano per preparare la modella per il servizio fotografico finale. Lasciatemi dire che non e' facile descrivere un' acconciatura o un certo effetto trucco a parole...certo avevamo portato diverso materiale fotografico, ma la bravura degli artisti del make up e acconciature si vede proprio in questi casi. Infatti sia Yuko Jerry were soon able to translate our ideas into the look of the model.
