Just making a movieclip and adding it to my blog wouldnt view my purpose from the right perspective. I didnt want to make movieclips because it wouldnt come natural if I went around with my camera in the bars/cafés/restaurants/streets etc. I didnt either want to act like some nightlife photographer taking pictures of people in a resturant. But of course to show what I mean I ve published a couple of photos in this post.
The important thing for me has been to view the details that makes it all. And if I base my collection on strong personalities? People full of life. How else can I project the spirits of it here if not with photos of for instance of the things that I think make you the way you are.
Like for instance the things Milano has, and those things that from my point of view is important for Milano, and by that becomes the result of how people acts. Take La scala, piazza duomo, Navigli, Porta Ticinese, Corso Como and so on... Would you people be the same without all this? Would Milan be Milan? From my point of view the answer in No.
So thats why I ve been taking pictures of objects, statues and so on. Not because the architecture inspires me that much. (Well there are a few amazing places/buildings, but I ve already mentioned them) But because all those small and big things in the end is the foundation of everything...and by that also the foundation ground of the hearbeat and life of Milano.
As I mentioned before what amazes me the most about this city is the warmth and energy of the people. You are so open and warm compared to swedes in general...
I do have a problem though... A problem that I ll base my design on in my collection.
The problem is your clothes... Well I dont mean that there are no elegant people. Neither am I trying to say that ALL the people dress boring in Milan. I m especially not talking about our school. Since everybody are going to work with something esthetic our school is full of extravagant people. I m talking about how people look in general, and how big the contrast is for me when I see a person full of life, geastures, mimic and so on dressed like a grey mouse...
I would even go so far with this, that I would say that this amazing person deserves clothes that are comparable to her/his personality. That is, as shining, warm and extravagant.
I think that the personality should be projected by the clothes!
I understand that Milano is a "working city"/ "industrial city". Thats why I m goig to play with contrasts. Stylish, elegant with a touch of edge. And the edge will in my collection symbolize the personalities. So its has to be qiuet extravagant and big!
Life.
Heartbeats on Viale Montenero.
More heartbeats!
