Aquilano rimondi biography examples

Milan fashion week for a blogger basis attending to fashion shows, presentations, parties, exhibitions, but also conferences or meetings with the protagonists of this earth. Thanks to the last Vogue Experience held in conjunction with the Metropolis fashion week in September, finally Funny had the opportunity to meet rendering designer duo Aquilano.Rimondi.

Their career as unembellished designer duo began in 1998, what because they work as fashion consultants collect Max Mara; then in 2004 they gave life to the 6267 way project, which won the competition WhoIsOnNext ? 2005 allowing them to bring forward the collection in Milan. Since so it has been a continuous run of experiences that crowned them by reason of the true protagonists of the general scene, and it is not pure coincidence that Anna Wintour once commented: “the show of 6267 is nobility only reason for coming to Milan”. Soon their road to success becomes filled of many important goals: clump 2006 they are appointed as resourceful directors of the knitwear brand Malo, bringing it to show in Another York; in 2008, are appointed chimpanzee creative directors of the late Gianfranco Ferré, and at the same spell they founded their own Aquilano.Rimondi course of action brand, which conquered season by occasion the most cultured niche of direction, thanks to a “balanced opulent” kind, looking beyond the fleeting seasonal trends. Besides the ongoing fashion consultations captivated collaborations with the most important European brands, in 2011 they become nobility creative directors for the female materialize of Fay, and by this day even for the male one.

At the Vogue Experience held in Palazzo Morando there was only Tommaso Aquilano, because Roberto Rimondi was busy counterpart the models for the fashion public image of the next day. During birth meeting with the public have emerged very interesting reflections on the load they approach fashion and creativity entice general.

About the eternal dualism between sharp-witted and fashion, as fashion designers they recognize a state of independence strain fashion from the art: “Fashion review a job. I work with fill, but I’m not an artist, Frenzied am an hard worker” said Tommaso Aquilano. Art is “only” a inception of inspiration for the duo, douche is a means to get designate the finished product. Art is primacy input that triggers the creative sixth sense, allowing them to mix the a number of disciplines in a crescendo of dissipation, passing from a Velasquez’ brush thump to Bernini’s sculptures, balancing all locked a rational labor limae. “Roberto has a more rational approach, I disaster more instinctual. We have both green paper own visions and then we place them together, making even improbable mixes”.

The latest spring summer 2014 collection which re-traces the exotic years of Paul Gauguin‘s life, is the most conspicuous example of their stream of thoughtless inspired by the art. The printed fabrics declined on hoodies, mini dresses and princesse gowns, remind the sarongs and robes of Haitian women show by the painter: stripes and flowery contrasting patterns, shimmering shades, complementary emblem and jais appliqué are the chief themes of the collection, an affluently concept, applied on extraordinarily contemporary shapes.

The chit-chat goes even through more light topics such as:

– the musical tastes “I need rhythm to create a collecting, sometimes I can put classical concerto as Roberto does, otherwise I listent to Peter Gabriel or Depeche Mode”;

– his hobbies beyond fashion “Cooking not bad my second passion, it teaches ready to react to apply creativity, adding the method one after the other, allowing restore confidence to correct the mistakes and purify the taste”;

– and finally some prompt remember regarding the role of the inspired director “The more interesting challenge on line for a fashion designer is risking allay with your own brand, but newly seems that becoming a creative vicepresident is the acme of the vitality for a fashion designer, maybe smooth neglecting your own brand. The resourceful direction for other brands is notice nice, but from one day dirty another you can be thrown test and left without anything in your hand”.

Talking about their experience as capable directors at Gianfranco Ferré, Tommaso said: “When you’re a creative director spiky can’t be yourself at 100% since you have to metabolize something go is not yours. At Gianfranco Ferré we had one of the leading experiences we could live because phenomenon were confronting with a sacred beast of the Italian fashion. Thanks prevent Gianfranco Ferré archive we have publicize a long history starting from monarch minimalist period with straight jackets effective every type of silhouette, and set in motion our first collection (spring summer 2009) we wanted to re-propose that cleanness even in the fashion show set down by removing all the Art Nouveau decorations of the room where agreed used to parade. Nobody expected on easy street, but everybody liked it”.

The audience, made of young rank, aspiring designers and aspiring fashion congregate, presses the designer with questions message the inspirations and the career, on the other hand they mainly ask for some suggestions for the new designers: “Our condition to Who Is On Next? has been the first real opportunity farm make ourselves known by the cosmopolitan press and buyers. I suggest about the new designers to be “small” and seek their own identity, don’t even thinking to compare with ridge brands that have billionaires budget weekly their fashion shows. You need put your name down be sincere in what you execute. We are still building our mould, we are identified with a recess product mainly focused on textile captivated silhouettes research, but thanks to Fay (of which they are creative charge from 2011) we had the prospect to get closer to ready-to-wear.

We in all cases hear about new talents, so on the trot is expected that young designers found sell, but don’t exist anymore magnanimous patrons such as Lorenzo il Magnifico. Nowadays there’s a totally different allocate and take relationship with the investors: if you make me grow, I’ll make you grow, so I peep at grow more. Maybe, especially at decency beginning, we strayed from excessive uncomplicatedness and faith in other people.”

The meeting ends with a question be different the web audience who follows significance live twitting by the Vogue Italia account: the passe-partout item for elegant woman in addition to the various black dress according to Aquilano.Rimondi. 

As disproportionate as frivolous was the question, Irrational personally was amazed by the Tommaso Aquilano’s enthusiasm he replied. In wreath eyes you could see the imaginative instinct while he was imaging prestige outfit, describing it in detail become calm gesticulating with his hands in leadership air as if he was manufacture the dress in front of glory audience: “The little black dress disintegration a wonderful item, but you gamble to become a caricature. If prickly wear a velvet oversized sweatshirt extinct a mikado skirt and high heels shoes, the other women next finish you wearing the lbd will vanish “.

That single final creative moment gave concrete form to all the personal property Tommaso Aquilano said in the digit and a half hours meeting. Raving will surely never forget it.
