Alighieri - Jewellery Luxury Brand

2018-01-07T12:21:00.003-08:00

Who knows if Dante Alighieri could have imagined that in 2014 a British girl would call her jewellery brand Alighieri and find inspiration in his poems.

Rosh Mahtani’s works tell a story that is firmly rooted in literature and travel. In “Alighieri” each piece corresponds to one of the poet’s 100 poems and just like the poet’s subjects, each piece of jewellery is battered, imperfect, and a little bit melancholy.

Imperfection characterizes her style as she doesn't want to be precise. In “The Lost Dreamer”, one of the most popular Alighieri's collection, Rosh explores the role of dreaming in times when realities seem like surreal nightmares. Art becomes a sort of escapism as it happens to Dante when he looks to storytelling.

Proenza Schouler SS18

2017-08-03T13:51:00.000-07:00

The 'SS18 collection of Proenza Schouler with its soft modern-romantic story made of flowers, fringes, rouches and embroidery immediately captured Deliverance's attention.

Covered neck, longette skirts,a lot of white mixed to black prints and the combination of pale colors with overlapping, under or over, crop tops in leather or hi-tech fabrics, a hint of red embroidery, sounds cool for the next spring/summer.

Amazing pieces of jewelry go with the collection marked by a lot of fur and leather details.

Marco D'amico Photography

2016-03-14T04:17:00.000-07:00

What is your story with photography?

At the beginning my dream was to become a musician. Photography has never been my first passion rather I have always been attracted to the cinema, I have watched a lot of 80’s Tv shows, so I never thought photography would become my job. I took a degree in sociology, two post degrees in communication, I had written a university textbook and I worked for several years in television.

Meanwhile music didn’t give me what I hoped so I started to take photographs of the musicians and then I started in fashion.

Do you have a contract with an agency?

Not properly. I’m the co founder of Studio Dmoda, it represents several fashion brands so we can say it’s my agency.

What is your theory about art?

It’s something connected to the moment of the creation or the transformation of reality .

Now the world of fashion is looking for something that appears quite satisfying, but satisfying for who? To be honest I’m not seeing something original around me, from the catwalk to the magazines. Except in some cases of total innovation, it seems pretty common to show the trend of the season and only focus on it, remaining inside that specific area.

I don’t believe a single process of creation in the fashion photography exists, everytime it’s a new interpretation of something that already exists.

Which are the elements of a Marco d’Amico's photograph?

Defining my style is quite complicated. As Gödel states, no consistent system can be used to show its own consistency. This means that it’s impossible to define something from an inner perspective, it’s necessary being objective. Sometimes the other opinions help me to understand my personal work, quite often I can’t say if my pics work or not, like someone who is objective.

However there are some details that make my photos recognizable. Although I work pursuing a technical method, I look for “a clean picture”, something natural.

I believe the reason why I do this kind of photography is connected to my personality, I’m precise and meticulous. I live a simple life, without excesses, like my photography.

You seem to bring out a truth in every single person. What kind of relationship do you establish with the models?

Usually I avoid to have any kind of relationship with models before the shooting. I prefer don’t know any personal details that can change my idea about their aesthetic. On the set I don’t want to tell their story but mine.

People I work with become actors and every time what I try to do is creating a peaceful and professional atmosphere that helps to get good work

What's the best thing about being a photographer?

Telling my story, it could be something common but trying to be someone else artistically speaking doesn’t work. The lives of famous photographers teach this: Art and behaviour overlap.

We should pay more attention to the lives of photographers rather than their portfolios.

In particular the world of fashion is incredibly good at reading codes and showing them.

What part of a shoot is the hardest for you?

Making a shooting is quite complex but usually it’s necessary that the all team has a definite view of the concept. If you realize what kind of photographer you are, you just are aware of what kind of work you can do.

Are famous people more interesting than “regular” people?

To work with celebrities means bypassing several numbers of filters before working with them, most of the time they are completely normal and delightful to work with, maybe with some fragilities to manage. I prefer working with professional models because we speak the same language and it’s easier reaching the same goal.

What do you think about digital manipulation?

It was born together with photography because photographers needed to add something personal to their pics.

I don’t want to demolish Photoshop but it must be considered only as a tool.

I used to use it a lot when the times required it but today I prefer to avoid it.

However a good use of digital manipulation can be considered a kind of new challenges.

How is your life going at the moment as a man and as a photographer?

I’m happy. I’m growing personally and professionally. Although it’s a bad time for artists, I think there is something positive like creating new opportunities.

Louis Vuitton Series 3 Exhibition

2015-10-21T15:49:00.000-07:00

"Series 3" is a stand-alone exhibition showcasing a designer and his creative process and influence. Far more than a simple collection, it is a stream of consciousness, dreams and self-reflexive journeys.

Inside a designer's mind, muses intertwine with cherished memories and visions of new shapes, cuts and meticulous craftsmanship.

"Series 3" retraces Nicolas Ghesquière's Autumn-Winter 2015/2016 collection for Louis Vuitton.

It's a sensorial journey, venturing deep into the designer's soul and an artisan's heart.

An adventure along the emotional corridors of Louis Vuitton.

Genesis Of A Collection - The moments of thought and creation are expressed through the voice of Adèle Exarchopoulos to discover how the AW1516 came to be.

Master Mind - In the centre of the room a Louis Vuitton trunk containing Nicolas Ghesquière's creative process and inspiration.

Artist's Hands - Inside the heart if Louis Vuitton's savoir-faire.

Infinite Show - Relive the excitement that sorrounds a show at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, where the AW1516 fashion show actually took place.

The Science Of Savoir-Faire - The creativity of the designer becomes reality through the artisans touch and the precision of the laser.

A Tale Of Craftsmanship - Be the hand behind the creation..

Accessories Gallery - "I've always love designing accessories. For me, accessories never stand alone, there has to be a common thread between them. They're an integral part of each outfit, either clashing or complementing it. They share the same sentiment and movement as the garment. A silhouette is a complete make-up of all these elements" Nicolas Ghesquière.

Wardrobe Sensation - Here clothes tucked away in their glass cases come alive when they are taken.

Garments speak to the woman who wishes to own it. It tells her a story, one she'll enjoy listening to, tales of who she would like to become. The wardrobe: a gateway to a thousand possibilities.

Be My Guest - The AW15/16 campaign by Juergen Teller and Bruce Weber.

Their study focused on the many facets of the Nicolas Ghesquière woman: actresses, iconinc models, "new faces".. of different generations and backgrounds, they are all Louis Vuitton.

It was a common sunday, quite boring, when my circle of friends invited me for a wine.

There was a very pretty market settled up in a little square of my hometown, all kind of stands and nice people in.

I immediately noticed this young woman, with her beautiful red freckles, promoting her digital works and I couldn't resist to ask her more about her work.

Walk of fame

Where do you live and when did you start your relationship with art?

I live in Catania and I have been working as a digital graphic designer for three years.

I didn’t attend any art college, but after my graduation in philosophy I went to an advanced computing course. I learnt how to use some vector drawing programs that allowed me to work in a print-shop. Although I've always loved drawing, my artistic vein came up late. To be honest I don’t think I am an illustrator, sometimes I draw some sketches by pencil, transfer them on my laptop and work on them with the graphics tablet.

What does the image mean to you?

A visual expression of my thought.

Graphic is the best way to give voice to my knowledge, my cultural background and my ideology.

For many years I asked to myself “How can I make things real without distorting myself?”

How you describe the style of you art?

Minimal, especially about color, and conceptual.

I’m not a real illustrator so I always try to find in the image something that gets attention, something is not explicit.

Le conseguenze dell'amore

No expo

The wall

Where do you get your inspiration and how do you transfer it on your works?

I like the idea to combine together elements that seem far and distant between themselves.

Inspiration comes from something real, an intuition, for instance from my son.

Is there one of your works which is particularly important to you?

I really like “Symmetry” maybe because subconsciously describes my controversial relationship with studs. It’s the portrait of a boring child who tighten his chin on the table; on the other side of the table there is a book in the same position, that's why symmetry.

Which is your art theory?

I’m sure art is a good tool to see different point of views breaking stereotypes.

I try to be ironic and easy in my works, in my opinion art helps to get the essential from the daily life.

Symmetry

Best side of your job?

In practical terms being independent, in stylistic terms being concise. I think it makes no sense combine together many meanings, the final work would risk to seem confusing.

In this sense I think to do my best in the “cartoons” that I consider expression of a linear art.

Apart graphic, do you experiment other art-forms?

Painting.

Concert

Evolution

How do you advertise your works?

I have a personal blog where I post my works and a Facebook fan page. I also take part to festivals or events in order to introduce myself and my projects to new people.

Future projects?

I’d really like living entirely with this job; one day I’ll get a publication!

Good luck

2015-09-24T06:34:00.000-07:00

Our editorial takes inspiration from the law proposal in the USA to implant people with a microchip.

The story tells about the consequences of this possible change in the life of a common woman, who is exploring her feelings and reactions in this turn of events.

Nature represents the only contact with something still pristine and organic.

Althouhg this our character is under threat from the power of the microchip, which day after day is getting stronger.

Relationship with nature results useless, her emotions die and her condition as a machine leads her to let herself go.

You can find some pics of the editorial published on Jute Magazine XXII Issue

Born in Russia but immigrated to Israel, Mary Ocher is the recognizable voice of the rejection of authority and hierarchies.

She is currently living in Berlin that she considers "the best place in the world to socialize with other misfits that left their countries".

Probably that's true because in Berlin you realize a sense of freedom that seeps into everything.

"The lifestyle here is very laidback, it's also a very politically correct city, people are very sensitive to any type of social injustice, sometimes to the point where you feel it's almost conservative in the other direction".

Eden is her last album and if you ask her what's her Eden like she says "Acceptance, just acceptance".

Luca Bortolato - Dream and identity

2015-05-09T03:56:00.000-07:00

Where were you born and where do you live at the moment?

I was born just a few kilometres far from Venice, where I love to go back everytime between my blues and joys.

What is your story with the photography?

Ever since I can remember, I've always loved images.

Studying and then working brought me closer to photography.

From the beginning I thought of photography as an exclusive thing for me, a personal journey where I could have been able to look inside, analyse, recognize.

Are you under contract to an agency?

There is an art gallery that believes in me, in my works, it always supports me.

What is your theory about art?

We are exactly our pictures. All the images we create reflect us inside and outside.

How can you describe the style of your pics?

I mainly focus on the dreamy side, but at the same time I want to represent a true identity.

About my identity, the one of whom is portrayed and the one of whom will observe it.

Where do you get your inspiration for your shoots?

From all human relationships that I built everyday.

In some of your pics there is a strong reference to nature, it seems as the character is fused into it. What does nature represent for you?

Nature becomes a stage, a place-no place where fit myself.

A way to bring people to an unknown reality.

How do you pick your models?

Sensitivity and trust are the two characteristics I’m looking for. That’s all.

Which one of your pictures is the most important to you?

The first and the last one.

The first one marks the awareness to tell something, the last goes on new shapes to sharing.

Other than photography, do you experiment other art-forms?

The theater, maybe, one day.

Fashion, as photography, is a form of communication. Which is your relationship with this world?

I observe it with curiosity.

Fortunately there are very smart people around and often they become source of inspiration.

Nothing can be taken for granted.

Can you highlight some of your favourite recent projects?

All my journey is focused on the concept of identity.

Now I’m working on its shade, especially focusing on faces, which until now I have refused to look at covering or hiding them.

It would be a long-term study and it will last until I’ll feel saturated

Nicola Indelicato

2015-03-21T04:49:00.000-07:00

Fashion talent and teacher at POLIMODA, Deliverance interviewed Nicola Indelicato who told us more about his new collection "Paradoks" and his personal artistic journey.

You’re currently living between Florence and Istanbul, would you and your works be influenced by these two cultures?
I've been living for two years between Florence, where I was born and raised, and Istanbul, where I started my brand. Florence trained me, I studied at Polimoda. Since I was a child this city has refined my personal taste. I used to go to school walking between the streets of the Renaissance. Istanbul is totally different from my hometown, but here I have found a lot of inspiration for my work. For instance, once I met a tailor who sewed traditional Turkish menswear. For one month I have hanged out with him at his studio; even though I didn’t speak his language I learnt from him tailoring techniques that I used later to make clothes of my collection.

Can you suggest us a personal place you love for each of these cities?
When I’m in Istanbul during the weekend I like to have breakfast at Cuma, in Cukurcuma. It’s a little café in the secondhand dealers area, you can find some cool secondhand clothes down there. Spirito Santo is my favourite area in Florence, in the past there were many workshops that today have been turned into cafes or shops.

How would you describe your design aesthetic?
I work following “reduction” and “simplification” concepts on my objects research, I always try to aim “the essential”. I’m really interested in working on the volume, creating new silhouettes. After having analyzed the concept, I draw one or more black silhouettes, then I create clothes within them respecting volume and sizes.

Where do you go for inspiration?
I have many inspirations, many places, many instruments. I’m very attracted from the history of costume and history of ethnic costume, that's why I often go around flea markets and museums. I’m a regular client of bookshops and libraries. Today internet helps a lot but my favourite key of inspiration remains the street. When I’m in Istanbul I prefer to walk in the community places, where people are more authentic.

How does that inspiration turns into reality?
After studying for a longtime the collection subjects and making many attempts, I usually try to turn the elaborated concepts on the clothes that will be part of the final collection. In my opinion it’s really important to add my personal style on the clothes we daily wear, a coat is always a coat but it becomes “my coat” through my research.

Tell us about your FW1516 collection.
At the beginning I thought to make a womenswear collection, but after meeting the menswear tailor in Istanbul I decided to mix the two things. There is a strong reference to the Turkish tradition of the “salvar”, the typical men’s trousers I turned into a double cotton short. Another concept I add to the collection is a 90s movie “Buffalo 66” with the actor Vincent Gallo and the actress Nina Ricci. In the movie the couple is unable to communicate emotionally as the quote Billy (Vincent Gallo) says to Layla (Nina Ricci) reveals: “We are a couple that doesn’t touch, we like each other and pass a lot time together but we don’t touch”. I've just conveyed this dependence/distance making clothes empty of any strong sexual connotation: “Paradoks”.

Are you exploring new fabrics?
I’m more attracted from experimentation of new techniques, new mix of materials, bonding, heat-sailing, processing of fabrics.

How has your work evolved since you began?
I worked a lot in the fashion industry as freelance and maybe in the past I did something I couldn’t expect that would have helped me to become a fashion designer; on the contrary, these different experiences helped me to better understand who I am and what I want to do in my future.

You’re also teaching fashion at Polimoda, tell us about this experience.
I studied at Polimoda and after some years of experience in the fashion companies I started to work with Polimoda as a design teacher. Sharing the creative process with the new fashion talents help me to release from the superstructure that the company usually imposes. At school we established a creative laboratory where all professional skills flow into themselves, our aim is to create a complete creative course.

What's the difference between style and design?
Style is the personal approach, the result of our inclinations and passions; design is the field where style is applied into.
