CONTEST FOR YOUNG DESIGNERS OF ANDALUSIA
by Agustin Velasco - November 27
Andalucia held its contest of young talents, and once again evident here when we are separated from the rest of Spain, and therefore the world. The potential for these guys, they could be risking cuts and concepts impossible vanishes seamstress that culture instilled in them in schools. Of course there are exceptions, of course, especially when they tell you they have already begun to move around and practice for major firms.Shows.
Nothing is further from our intention to criticize the guys who put all their enthusiasm (and money) in their projects. Perhaps the fault is of the schools that make them implicitly conceive that future employment is reduced to sew for weddings, christenings and communions. Or maybe the fault of the media revel in Andalusian Andalusian applauds the local people and without projection, without talent or ingenuity. Many pages to Juana Martin during Cibeles, while ignoring the real engines of design and Locking Shocking and Carlos Diez Diez, when the design knows no boundaries because the wearer is not where it was born designer clothing. Or maybe it's the fault of FNAC, which opened its first store in Seville last year and did not press section (which was the only hope of getting international press interest) because we understand that in Seville think there people interested in the movements culture coming from outside. You know that here is not achieved Metal magazine, Hercules, B-Guided ...? Even Neo2 and Vanity are very irregular distribution. Hello succeed! and Telva, and that is evident in the proposals of these guys.
Or maybe the fault is of the Administration, they are interested in having an event such as propaganda, but does not address quality. An idea ... Why the Youth Institute does not hire a technician fashion expert to advise on what courses these guys can do overseas competitions to be filed, fabric suppliers, such as make a curriculum focused on working with designers, etc ...? ORIENTATION, in short. But a real technician, not one who thinks that by knowing Valentino is a fashion expert.
To the Point ... The event won the Marina Towers, a veteran in these conflicts that presented last year and this year comes with the lesson well learned. With a collection that mixes haute couture concepts of modernity in the courts. While another 'repeat', Angela Guerra, with a more interesting street cuts, modern and geometric, with a very accurate selection of tissues. Puerto de Santa Maria and Cristina arrived Mercedes Sanchez Galan an Andalusian accent signed on behalf Chikilla.Presented a collection was intended as a tribute to the designer Poiret and Art Deco, but it was aim high for those with budget constraints in the tissues, as if something is known Poiret's work is the magnificence of these. However, the proposal was very consistent with his spirit from start to finish. Luciano Cots, of Argentine origin, was shot by the side draper and Taif. The whole proposal is based on a drawing of a dog, so the collection is called "My Dog Walk." No shortage of ideas, but the technique is not with him, so if you get correct deficiencies will get interesting results. Carelia Cuenca, a cuban based in Malaga, made a studied work of cuts and volumes, all within easy walking distance of land, designed for real women, and that the company formation and practice of this designer is evident in such rescues ideas of the best designers the time and adapts its collection. Antonio Jimenez, Sevilla, focuses its attention on the roots in Andalusian and Arab influences.
A vision from the Andalusian folkloric delestilo moderate, very much in line Victorio & Lucchino. Recurrence in this gateway was David Munoz, Granada, who returned to opt for the sewing and qualitative shift, it does not add much to the contemporary design, but it surely delight your regular customers.
