Halstonas: šlovės ir nuopuolio istorija

Baltic Fashion Cinema! 

Filmo peržiūra:
Spalio 17 d. 16.00 – 18.00 val. (uždaras vakaras). Vieta: Konferencijų salė 5.1.
Spalio 18 d. 17.00 – 19.00 val. Vietų skaičius ribotas, tik su išankstine registracija. Vieta: Konferencijų salė 5.3

Intriguojanti šlovės ir nuosmukio istorija dokumentiniame filme apie dizainerį Halstoną, kuris Amerikos
madą įrašė į viso pasaulio mados žemėlapį. Nuo Jacqueline Kennedy skrybėlaitės iki mados pasaulio
viršūnės 8 dešimtmetyje, kai Versalio Royal Operoje metė iššūkį prabangiai ir rafinuotai Paryžiaus
scenai. Jaudinančioje film-noir žanrą primenančioje dokumentikoje „Halstonas: šlovės ir nuopuolio
istorija“ režisierius Frédéric Tcheng atkuria Halstono portretą, įpindamas tiek homofobijos atgarsius,
tiek hedonistiško gyvenimo spindesį, tiek kūrybos susidūrimą su komercija, kai dizaineris pardavė ne
tik savo vardą, bet ir sielą. „Nuo klasės iki masės“ taip trumpai galima apibūdinti šios ryškios legendos
gyvenimą.

Rojus Halstonas Frovikas, savo antrąjį vardą pavertęs puikiai atpažįstamu prekės ženklu,
buvo bene pirmasis JAV dizaineris, tapęs tikra popkultūros žvaigžde. Amerika apie
Halstoną išgirdo 1961 m., kuomet jo modeliuotą skrybėlaitę Džono F. Kenedžio
inauguracijos metu dėvėjo prezidento žmona Žaklina. Tačiau didžioji šlovė atėjo
aštuntajame dešimtmetyje, kuomet dizainerio kurti kašmyro vilnos ir „ultrasuede“
mikropluošto rūbai tapo tikru disko eros simboliu. Padėjo ir geniali dizainerio viešinimo
strategija: Halstonas buvo pirmasis, į savo kolekcijų pristatymus ėmęs kviesti Holivudo ir
muzikos pasaulio žvaigždes.
Deja, pora nesėkmingų investicijų bei abejotinų verslo sprendimų ilgai ir kruopščiai statytą
mados imperiją sugriovė vos per kelis mėnesius. Būdamas 57-erių, 1990 m. Halstonas
mirė nuskurdęs ir visų pamirštas.

Pongees unleashes a riot of texture and colour in its new autumn/winter silks

Fabrics with texture, subtle patterns and sheen will be important for the new autumn/winter 2019/2020 season as designers continue to be inspired by their love affair with the ‘70s, says silk specialists Pongees.

“For the new season, though, disco divas and rock chicks make way for the sophisticated femme fatale, epitomised by power icons such as Lauren Hutton, Faye Dunaway, Catherine Deneuve, Diana Ross and Diane Von Furstenberg, ” says Nick Moore, joint managing director, Pongees.

To recreate this look, Pongees has stretch satins and georgettes in peacock, teal and turquoise ideal for tonal blocking; for textured fabrics with pattern and sheen there are hammered and sand-washed satins in midnight, navy and ink; and tone on tone designs are delivered in double crepes and crepe de chines in nude, tan and mocha.

Apart from the ‘70s influence, designers are looking to bring a sense of unity and harmony into today’s divisive world. As a result they are being inspired by Argentinian gauchos, American cowgirls, Hungarian peasants, the splendour of imperial Byzantium and Rome, Russian icons, Chinese concubines and Japanese geishas.

The colour palettes for this trend lean towards the “natural purity” of eggshells, ivories, putties and porcelains and the opulent warmth of deep reds, golds, silvers, emeralds and sapphires.

In a season dominated by textures, Pongees brings crushed velvet, mohair, duchess satin, tasar, ottoman, zibeline, mikado and organza lunar to the forefront.

“To simplify fabric sourcing, we now have all our fabrics available to buy online from our new website,” concludes Moore.

Somafemme silk

Somafemme brings alive your senses through the interplay of colour and light. Resort wear, beachwear and casual after-hour couture are created in very high-end silk, handmade with original art. We make clothes and accessories for women who are decisive and bold, who love to experiment. Our designs are steeped in the traditions of Impressionism and like those masters from   back then, we like to shake up things a bit.  Expect the unexpected as we stretch the boundaries of colour and pattern. Did we mention that we have no repeat patterns? That’s right and that’s why you will love to run your hands over our creations and desire them. Through our unique design methods, we have eliminated visual friction from attire. And let us not forget the fabric. Silk is timeless, luxurious and for all seasons. Life should be this good. Les sens, vivant.
