En la pintoresca región de la Toscana, donde los tonos dorados del otoño besaban los viñedos y las calles históricas, se desarrolló el siguiente capítulo de “A Father and Son Tale FW23” para Paul&Shark. Pierce Brosnan, personificación del estilo atemporal, y su hijo artístico, Paris, se embarcaron en un viaje que trascendió la moda y se aventuró en el corazón de los lazos familiares.

Bajo la perspicaz lente de Giampaolo Sgura, el fotógrafo de renombre mundial, y con el diseño del ícono de la moda Anna Dello Russo, la campaña cobró vida con una narrativa que celebraba la esencia de la familia, la herencia y la moda impecable.

La campaña comenzó con el icónico Pierce Brosnan, símbolo de sofisticación, recorriendo las encantadoras calles de la Toscana en un automóvil antiguo. Envuelto en un lujoso jersey azul de punto acanalado de la colección FW23, exudaba un aura de elegancia natural que sólo un hombre de su estatura podía transmitir.

A su lado estaba París, portadora de la antorcha de una nueva generación de estilo y creatividad. Envuelto en prendas de abrigo acolchadas y capas de cuello alto, encarnaba la esencia moderna de Paul&Shark. La interacción de generaciones fue evidente, cada una complementándose entre sí en una hermosa armonía de moda y familia.

En medio de la belleza natural de la Toscana, la familia Brosnan se deleitaba con los placeres sencillos. Colocaron mantas a cuadros sobre el césped, abrazando la serenidad de la naturaleza. Jugando a las cartas, vistiendo suéteres de punto grueso y camisas azul pálido, su alegría y unión irradiaban a través de la lente, capturando la esencia del amor y la unidad familiar.

A medida que se desarrolló la campaña, se hizo evidente que Paul&Shark era más que una simple marca para la familia Brosnan; era una extensión de sus valores y estilo, entretejida en el tejido de sus vidas. Simbolizaba la herencia que apreciaban, un testimonio de calidad y atemporalidad.

En medio de esta pintoresca historia, la colección FW23 de Paul&Shark brilló. La combinación de diseños clásicos con una estética moderna fue un testimonio del compromiso de la marca con la evolución preservando al mismo tiempo sus raíces. La colección, una obra maestra de la artesanía italiana, se hizo eco del sentimiento del cuento de la familia Brosnan: eterno, clásico y profundamente arraigado en una rica herencia.

Para concluir, la campaña FW23 de Paul&Shark, “A Father and Son Tale”, no solo mostró su excepcional colección sino que también honró la hermosa narrativa de la familia y la moda, una historia que resonó en el mundo, recordando a todos que más allá de los hilos y las telas, la moda es una celebración de la vida y los vínculos que la definen.

Art will always triumph in the end, even during these unprecedented times. Defying the Covid-19 pandemic, Maison Dior presented its haute couture collection for Fall-Winter 2020-2021 in an exclusive film broadcast live on its digital channels. Drawing inspiration from female surrealists, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Creative Director of Dior women’s collections, seized the opportunity to express alternative visions of femininity through the prism of the fashion doll.

Autumn Winter 2020-2021 Haute Couture Collection

“Surrealist images manage to make visible what is in itself invisible. I am interested in mystery and magic, which are also a way of exorcising uncertainty about the future,” says Maria Grazia Chiuri of her Fall-Winter 2020-2021 haute couture collection for Maison Dior. Taking inspiration from the work of artists like Lee Miller, Dora Maar and Jacqueline Lamba, the Italian designer champions less conventional versions of femininity. In their work, these artists transcended the role of “muse”, going beyond its merely aesthetic dimension.

The collection is embarking on a world tour in a magic trunk replicating Maison Dior’s historic address at 30, avenue Montaigne. The pieces are presented on miniature mannequins, a poetic emblem at the heart of the couture universe, which has previously been appropriated by artists such as Cindy Sherman, who featured this near-magical object in one of her first video projects. The fashion doll is also a reference to the Théâtre de la Mode, a roving exhibition of miniature designs by the greatest couturiers of the day, which toured Europe and America just after the Second World War.

This daring presentation represented a challenge for the Dior ateliers, which had to create flawlessly executed pieces on a miniature scale. Every handmade pleat and fold celebrates the beauty of an elegant, precise gesture, which is the very essence of couture.

Many pieces from the Fall-Winter 2020-2021 haute couture collection were inspired by nature, such as those displaying spectacular gradations of red, like a coral reef swaying in the glimmer of the ocean. The luminous, dreamlike hues of paintings by Leonora Carrington and Dorothea Tanning come to life on the designs of Maria Grazia Chiuri. The finale is equally dazzling, with a sumptuous wedding gown reviving one of fashion’s forgotten traditions.

Due to the world’s recent state, the Metropolitan Museum of Art had to postpone its blockbuster spring 2020 Costume Institute art exhibition“About Time: Fashion and Duration” Met Galawhich was originally planned to take place on 4th May 2020.

Met Gala‘s “About Time: Fashion and Duration” was set to explore fashion’s unique ability to time travel, melding clothing styles from different periods together to create ‘new’ ideas, moving in cycles at the same time as moving forward, and ensuring that some styles are considered timeless and ephemeral. Let’s take a look!

While the Met is still closed, the organization decided to share its curated collection of contemporary and historic garments which traces a century and a half of fashion. Scheduled to open to the public on October 29, 2020, the presented work dates as far back as 1870, in honor of the museum’s 150th anniversary.

Presented entirely with black garments, the Met Gala‘s “About time: fashion and duration” emphasizes the evolving silhouettes and use of secondary detailing. With the collection of pieces ranging from 1870 to the present, curators aim to connect the concept of “duration” with debates about diversity, inclusivity, sustainability, and other ethical issues that will surely express a continuing impact throughout the next decade of luxury fashion. Employing Henri Bergson’s concept of la durée (duration), it will explore how clothes generate temporal associations that conflate past, present, and future. Virginia Woolf will serve as the “ghost narrator” of the exhibition.

A timeline of 120 garments will unfold in two adjacent galleries fabricated as enormous clock faces and organized around the principle of sixty minutes of fashion. Each “minute” will feature a pair of garments—the primary work representing the linear nature of fashion and the secondary work its cyclical character. Each pair will be connected through shape, motif, material, pattern, technique, or decoration. For example, a black silk faille princess-line dress from the late 1870s will be paired with an Alexander McQueen “bumster” skirt from 1995.

All of the primary garments will be black, to emphasize their evolving silhouettes, and the second will be either black or white, to underscore their mutually reinforcing associations. The exhibition will conclude with a small selection of garments from 2020 that links the concept of duration to debates about diversity, inclusivity, sustainability, traceability, transparency, longevity, collaboration, and other ethical issues germane to the next decade of fashion. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalog.

Still yet to be seen is the theatrical design of the gallery space, which is scheduled to be unveiled this fall.

“Fashion is indelibly connected to time. It not only reflects and represents the spirit of the times, but it also changes and develops with the times, serving as an especially sensitive and accurate timepiece. Through a series of chronologies, the exhibition will use the concept of duration to analyze the temporal twists and turns of fashion history.” – Andrew Bolton, the Wendy Yu curator in charge of the Met Gala‘s costume institute

At a time when offering a simplified definition of oneself seems a universal ambition, Prada likes to prove otherwise. That is, in fact, more Prada. Acronyms become a playful metaphor to confidently embrace the indefinableness of Prada’s idea. They are juxtaposed with images, which amplify the challenge of a consistent or conventional notion of identity.

OPTIMIST RHYTHM: PRADA MENSWEAR S/S 2020 CAMPAIGN

To bring this to life, the Prada Spring / Summer 2020 men’s fashion campaign features a trinity of contemporary creatives, fundamental cultural personalities of the present and archetypes of the hyper-fragmented mentality of tomorrow: musician Frank Ocean, actor Austin Butler and director , screenwriter and producer Nicolas Winding Refn.

Each of these men uses words to define themselves: the lyrics of a song, the words of a script. They are a plane, a template, for life, to live, to feel. Here, words are used as a means to redefine the image, to try to define the indefinable: PRADA. Acronyms are influenced by abstract ideas, thoughts, notions: they provoke, sometimes they add context, sometimes they pose a contradiction, they always provoke thoughts.
