Dream Hunters - The 14th Exhibition of Blue & Joy - London
What's better than a weekend in London to escape the monotony and anxiety of a city like Milan, where the space devoted to creativity and art are reduced even more? So my trip to london becomes more than a normal weekend of pure leisure and shopping. In fact labor Wednesday, October 14.
The 15 are a guest of the opening of Blue & Joy , born Daniel Sigalot and Fabio La Fauci, friends now for several years, within the Salvatore Ferragamo boutique in London shopping street, the wonderful Old Bond Street. It 'a cocktail that leaves at 18.00 and ends at 22.00.
Thursday at 20.30 arriving at the opening and the store is already full of guests, each with its own champagne flute in hand. The works of some artists' everywhere, and the models parading on a catwalk "ups and downs" the autumn-winter 2008-2009.
The atmosphere is lively but relaxed. I greet the boys and I congratulate you on setting up and truly original works, as always. In particular I am struck by the giant dog (which is a bit 'the star of the show), proceeds from the collage of thousands of buttons branded "ferragamo".
The evening continues amid chatter, smiles and tears of Blue and Joy, new knowledge, music, clothes and shoes and eye glasses bellavista and meet a lot of unexpected "fans" of Paola & Chiara are Italian, but live and work as professionals in London for years. All open and very nice turn out and show very appreciative of the look that I chose for this evening. The thing I'm proud of not a little.
At the meeting, even cocktails Gilla Bertotti, who kindly informs me that London is being " Frieze Art Fair ", one of the most important art fairs in the world. Gilla, super cute and offers to "escort" Saturday at the fair. It would take her to procure an entrance. Excited, which I gladly accept more!
Upon saying goodbye, feeling that I carry on, in my hotel room, is that London is beautiful, yes, but that Italy, who work and live here permanently, and not just miss you ...

SHOWstudio: Fashion Revolution - Exhibition at Somerset House, London
At Somerset House (Strand, London WC2R 1LA) until December 20, 2009, on display SHOWstudio, the project's web photographer and visual artist Nick Knight.
SHOWstudio is a website created in November 2000 by Nick Knight, "that has consistently pushed the boundaries of communicating online fashion."
Nick Knight adds, "SHOWstudio is based on the belief That Entire showing the creative process-from conception to completion-is beneficial for the artist, the audience and the art itself."
This is the theme of the exhibition: "our experience of fashion is changing. In These Times of instant, digitally-fueled information, the fashion image is no longer? Confined to the static world of the printed photograph. Today we are Confronted with a dramatic new fashion universe, where photography, film, performance, music, art and technology combine to create an infinitely richer landscape ".
Great emphasis is given to video art as a form of visual communication and modern avant-garde. In the exhibition works by Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, Naomi Campbell, Gareth Pugh, Comme des Garcons, Kate Moss, Björk and other important artists in the world of visual communication. Some days you can watch live-set photos of fashion photographers of the most important in the world.
London, Friday, Oct. 16. Today I went to see the ShowSudio Nick Knights on the bank of the Thames. Fine installations. Some things are really interesting. The thing I liked most was the studio where photo shoots are often done live. The public can watch the show from behind the glass where photographers like Nick Knights shoot the same as supermodel Naomi and Mariacarla real jobs and propylene, as the cover of Vogue UK ... pity that today was not provided any "live session" ... what bad luck!
I console myself by looking at the projections of the past. Some are just beautiful. Rest hypnotized by the images have a size slightly voyeuristic and a little 'fetish ... actually a little' more than a little and think about what would have combined in there as a Newton ...
After seeing a kind of short fun, built in the backstage of the fashion show "NO!" By Victor & Rolf, I am tempted to buy (in the merchandising) a fantastic wallpaper-colored flesh with immaginette of indecent exposure, drawn in red style 700 , then I think ... but what do I do? But beautiful! "I let her go out there and finding myself in front of a giant flash: naomi sparandomi who greets me with a silent gun flashing neon. I'm dying for a moment and then I stopped ... I take a taxi back to the center ... lily donaldson look so thin, I had a great desire to put something in your teeth!
A reflection: Thanks to Nick Knights tonight I discovered that Kate Moss is recognizable only from the mold of her lipstick! Go see the show and you'll understand what I'm talking about
