‘(Im)possible’

‘She danced, and was obliged to go on dancing through the dark night. The shoes bore her away over thorns and stumps till she was all torn and bleeding; she danced away over the heath to a lonely little house. Here, she knew, lived the executioner; and she tapped with her finger at the window and said:

“Come out, come out! I cannot come in, for I must dance.”’

 

The Red Shoes, Hans Christian Anderson

 

The dance of death must end. Trapped in its hostile environment an animal will die.  It will try to leave. It will leave but there is nowhere to go. The models are people who have a home like you and me. We must stop Climate Change to avoid our total catastrophe.

Climate Revolution working with Environmental Justice Foundation asks you to help Climate Refugees by filling in the postcard on your seat and we will send it to Ban Ki-moon.

I wrote:

Anyone who gets home late from work and finds she’s forgotten the key. What a disaster!

My home is my refuge.

I believe it's essential we bring economic and ecological intentions into alignment, and establish more cooperative systems, to protect our planet and its people. I do believe this is possible.

A NEW IMAGE FOR PRADA IN NEW IMAGE

Prada renews its men's store in Via Monte Napoleone 6, Milano with a project designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi. The inside space, arranged on three floors, occupies a total surface of 860 square metres. Outside, the storefront, that respects the building’s original architecture, features a new, wide central entrance creating an immediate visual connection between the store’s inside and the city.

The ground floor and first floor offer the leather goods, accessories, footwear and ready-to-wear collections. The Prada Made to Order service provides for the possibility to customise garments, accessories and footwear by choosing among different materials, finishes and colours.

On the second floor, the Made to Measure service is available: a project designed to meet the expectations of the most demanding male customers, whereby a wide range of "bespoke" variations of suits, coats, jackets, shirts and trousers are created.

A new combination between the masculine, contemporary character of the location and an apparent dissonance in the choice of materials and finishes characterises the ground floor. The black and white chequered marble floor, one of Prada’s historic brand identity elements, contrasts against the walls clad in natural aluminium corrugated panels, an experimental material looking like a 1950s industrial finish.

Also, the traditional beamed ceiling architectural theme is interpreted by matching the classic Prada pale green with aluminium details. The upper floor, about 220 square metres large, is an open space, characterised by ebony wood floors and aluminium panels covering the walls completely.

This environment is rhythmically arranged with a wall made of an evenly spaced sequence of windows and a long black marble colonnade, interrupted by the marble stairs and by the crystal elevator casing connecting all the floors. Light metal and crystal frames are used to display products, whilst bright red, green and blue saffiano leather is used in the design of display counters.

Furniture is completed by seats and sofas made of precious ostrich leather in the same colours. The top floor, bright with daylight, is clad in thin staves of wood. The masculine, atelier-like flair of this space is interpreted in a more intimate key here; the product display also highlights the welcoming character of this environment, which is dedicated to special collections and the Made to Measure service.

 

UNA NUOVA IMMAGINE PER PRADA IN VIA MONTE NAPOLEONE

Prada rinnova il suo negozio dedicato alle collezioni maschili e sito in Via Monte Napoleone 6, Milano, con un intervento curato dall’architetto Roberto Baciocchi. Lo spazio interno, suddiviso su tre piani, occupa una superficie totale di 860 metri quadrati.

Il fronte esterno, rispettando l’architettura originale del palazzo, presenta un nuovo ampio ingresso centrale che mette in immediata relazione visiva lo spazio del negozio con la città. Il piano terra e il primo piano sono dedicati alle collezioni di pelletteria, accessori, calzature e abbigliamento. Il servizio Prada Made to Order offre la possibilità di personalizzare capi d’abbigliamento, accessori e calzature, scegliendo tra diversi materiali, finissaggi e colori.

Il secondo piano è dedicato al servizio Made to Measure: progetto volto a soddisfare le richieste della clientela maschile più sofisticata ed esigente, permettendo di realizzare in un‘ampia gamma di varianti abiti, cappotti, giacche, camicie e pantaloni “su misura”.

Il piano terra propone un nuovo accostamento tra il carattere maschile e contemporaneo degli spazi e un’apparente dissonanza nella scelta di materiali e finiture. Il pavimento a scacchi in marmo bianco e nero, identità storica del marchio Prada, contrasta con le pareti rivestite da pannelli in lamiera ondulata in alluminio naturale, un materiale sperimentale, di carattere industriale anni ‘50.

Inoltre, il tradizionale tema architettonico del soffitto a travi viene interpretato accostando il classico verde pallido Prada a dettagli in alluminio. Lo spazio al piano superiore, di circa 220 metri quadrati, è un ambiente aperto, caratterizzato da un pavimento in legno di ebano e da pannelli in alluminio che rivestono interamente le pareti.

 

Il ritmo dell’ambiente è scandito dalla parete composta da una sequenza regolare di finestre un lungo colonnato in marmo nero, interrotta dalle scale in marmo e dal volume in cristallo dell’ascensore che collega tutti i livelli. Leggeri telai in metallo e cristallo espongono il prodotto, mentre i toni accesi del saffiano rosso, verde e blu compongono il disegno dei banchi espositivi.

Completano l’arredo, le sedute e i divani in preziosa pelle di struzzo negli stessi colori. L’ultimo piano, illuminato dalla luce naturale, presenta un rivestimento in legno a doghe sottili. Il carattere maschile e sartoriale dello spazio è qui interpretato in chiave più intima; anche l’esposizione del prodotto sottolinea i toni accoglienti dell’ambiente, dedicato alle collezioni speciali e al servizio Made to Measure.

After New York... Shanghai!

 

I costumi disegnati da Miuccia Prada e Catherine Martin

per il film di Baz Luhrmann ‘Il Grande Gatsby’

ora in mostra a Shanghai

Dopo New York e Tokyo, la mostra itinerante di costumi disegnati da Miuccia Prada e dalla costumista Catherine Martin per la versione cinematografica de Il Grande Gatsby di Baz Luhrmann, è ora in esposizione a Shanghai presso il negozio Prada IFC. Ieri, 10 settembre, si è tenuto il cocktail di inaugurazione presso i negozi Prada e Miu Miu di IFC.

Catherine Martin, costumista e scenografa vincitrice di premi Oscar® e Tony®, è famosa in tutto il mondo per la collaborazione con il marito Baz Luhrmann ai film Ballroom - Gara di Ballo, Romeo + Giulietta, Moulin Rouge e alla scenografia de La Bohéme per Broadway.

L’esposizione, dal titolo Catherine Martin and Miuccia Prada Dress Gatsby, combina abiti da sera, vestiti, cappelli, calzature e gioielli a schizzi, foto di scena, filmati del backstage e trailer del film. 

Catherine Martin ha suggerito linee guida molto precise; i riferimenti e i dettagli di tessuti, colori e materiali dovevano essere quelli dell’epoca, ma allo stesso tempo moderni. Lavorando ai costumi, Miuccia Prada si è resa conto di quanti capi creati per le sfilate Prada e Miu Miu di diverse stagioni avessero uno spirito tipicamente anni ‘20 una volta integrati nella regia del film. Gli abiti, storici e assolutamente contemporanei al tempo stesso, sono realizzati in brillante lamé metallico iridescente, paillettes, taffetà di seta, pelliccia colorata e velluto, e abbinati a fantastici cappelli, calzature e accessori.

L’allestimento, a cura dello studio 2x4 di New York, è composto da una serie di manichini semi trasparenti in vetroresina, illuminati da basi d’appoggio dove sono presenti anche le fotografie e una breve biografia del personaggio che ha indossato quel costume. La biografia mette in evidenza la ricchezza di dettagli con cui Catherine Martin immagina i personaggi di contorno in ogni scena. I manichini sono contestualizzati da un murale a collage che rappresenta la scena della festa in cui appaiono molti dei vestiti Prada e Miu Miu, e da grandi video dove scorrono le scene del film.

Costumes designed by Miuccia Prada and Catherine Martin

for Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming film ‘The Great Gatsby’

on display in Shanghai

 

The travelling exhibition of selected costumes designed by Miuccia Prada and costume designer Catherine Martin for Baz Luhrmann’s film adaptation of The Great Gatsby is now on display at the Prada IFC store in Shanghai, China. The opening cocktail was held at the Prada and Miu Miu IFC stores on September 10 2013.

An Academy Award® and Tony® winning costume designer and art director, Catherine Martin is world-renowned for her collaborations with husband Baz Luhrmann on the films Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge and the Broadway stage design for La Bohéme.

The exhibition - titled Catherine Martin and Miuccia Prada Dress Gatsby and curated by New York studio 2x4 - includes women’s gowns, dresses, hats, shoes and jewelry as well as sketches, production stills, backstage footage and film trailers.

Very strict guidelines came from Catherine Martin in terms of references and details on fabrics, colors, materials that had to be period accurate, but modern at the same time. While working on the costumes, Miuccia Prada realized how many pieces created for the Prada and Miu Miu runways in different seasons had a very ‘20s mood once integrated in the movie’s direction. At once historical and utterly contemporary, the dresses are realized in brilliant iridescent metallic lamé, sequins, silk taffeta, dyed fur, velvet and styled with fantastical hats, shoes and accessories.

The display is comprised of translucent Fiberglas mannequins lit from free-standing bases that include photographs and a brief biography of the character that wore the costume. The biographies reveal the rich and detailed way in which Catherine Martin imagines even minor characters in each scene. The mannequins are contextualized by a collage mural depicting the riotous party scene where many of the Prada and Miu Miu dresses make their appearance, and large-scale video displays that present scenes from the film.
