fate

DEL MOON: I remember this really wonderful story you told me about when you were first starting out and you and Patrick found the Le Corbusier house in Antwerp but you didn’t have enough money to buy it. The woman who was selling it . . . Wait, what was the story about her father?

DEMEULEMEESTER: [laughs] She said to us that she had a dream that there was a man walking in the Le Corbusier house, and she wasn’t sure if it was her father or Patrick, but for some reason she felt like the house was built for either her father or for Patrick, so she wanted us to have it. She thought it was a sign, even though we had no money.

DEL MOON: I think I got some confidence over the years. I remember how nervous I was the first time I walked the runway for you. That was my first big show. I felt like I didn’t know what I was doing.

DEMEULEMEESTER: Well, we never quit, did we? We found each other and it was so natural for me that you were part of it. The way you do my show, the way you move, I was always touched to have you modeling for me. You have added a lot. It’s important to say that after so much time.

DEL MOON: Of any designer’s clothes, I’m probably most comfortable when I’m wearing yours.

DEMEULEMEESTER: Yeah, well, with you it’s not like you’re a model—you’re Jamie wearing my clothes. But they aren’t my clothes anymore. They are your clothes, and that’s why they come alive, because they lock into the way you are, and it looks right. It doesn’t look organized, it looks honest. And that’s the most important thing for me—honesty.

wow, there's bamboo in Aussy!

I'm a Chinese, but I don't know what these three words try to say. gental, stick and love? wtf

專訪Salvatore Ferragamo設計總監Cristina Ortiz

2009-07-07

剛發表上任後第三季女裝系列的 Salvatore Ferragamo設計總監Cristina Ortiz，自○八秋冬系列至今，作品給人的感覺都是很非一般的 Ferragamo。
Cristina曾效力於多個高級時裝品牌，她對這創立逾八十年的經典品牌到底有何看法？又怎樣將創新意念在傳統的框框中發揮出來？早前她首次來港巡視品牌業務，並跟ELLE分享其時裝生活態度。ELLE ： 投身時裝設計的行列，你如何獲取滿足感？

C.O. ： 我過往曾經替各大小時裝品牌擔任過時裝設計師，這麼多年來我都抱着一個信念——「Fashion is passion」，假如你熱愛時裝設計，你不會視此為一項工作，不知不覺間會將這個興趣做到最好，滿足感不就是由此而來嗎？

Ferragamo新世代的優雅大師

新官上任
Salvatore Ferragamo上一任女裝設計師Cristina Ortiz，在任兩年表現平凡，品牌因此易角，委任同門男裝設計師Massimiliano Giornetti取而代之。

ELLE：被欽點為品牌的女裝創意總監，你有什麼感想？

Massimiliano： 得到Ferragamo家族信任，感到非常榮幸。在 Salvatore Ferragamo工作十年，讓我對品牌精神及DNA充分了解。而我個人的美學觀，也百分之百符合品牌原則：美感、工藝、優雅、功能性、時代感，這些都是 令我們變得摩登的元素。
穿Ferragamo的女人
ELLE：你所創造的新Salvatore Ferragamo女性是甚麼模樣？
M.G.：我想為有工作、家庭的真女性，即是日間繁忙，但社交生活也同樣精采的女性而創作。我認為她生性浪漫，好動有活力，成熟且實際，擅於選擇適當衣物來滿足不同需要。有文化修養並懂得欣賞衣物的品質。簡單來說，她明白時裝，卻不淪為時尚奴隸。

Cristina只是其中一個例子，在任期間錦上添花、被火掉後評論冷言冷語的設計師是數也數不清
記者們，用點腦袋好唄(還有很幹的是今天去看Elle Taiwan官網，每五分鐘就一發的"大家好我是Kevin，日本女生非常注重底妝"真的是惹人厭到我快要暴走，暫停鍵是有屁用啊)
