Own your Own...

Through the course of a much enjoyed gathering and sharing of ideas with friends last night , I was very inspired to share my story... on how to Own our Own emotions by becoming an innovator, reflector, creator...

A journey which I started myself in 1991, when researching for my Master's thesis in French Literature at Boston University, discovering the painting of women in 3D shapes such as precious natural stones in Beaudelaire "Les Fleurs du Mal" , a journey I translated into fashion and textile design shared with the wider public since 2008, and enjoying it today, as we have reached the 20th of July, exactly 50 years after the first man walked on the moon... sharing the Face of the Moon with us to inspire our lives beyond imagination...

Here it is the sunset at the Wetlands near Tottenham Hale... looking very white and shiny like the Silver Lady under the reflector's beams...

More Designer's Stories...

Through the course of sharing the design process over the pas 11 years... I created a small moodboard with a simple contrast to display the process quickly and inspire others to design their own visual map to keep organised while releasing the design process...

It starts with the eye of the desigenr in the left top corner and finish with the eyes or lips of other people in pink on the right.
There are 6 steps to discover along the way...

Meeting Grayson Perry and Kansai Yamamoto

THANK YOU,,,

Name dropping is not usually cool, but on a hot summer enchanting evening at the British Museum, stars mingled with the rest of us and made it feel so cool and refreshingly human...
The Manga Fashion show was delightfully amazing bringing together students of the arts from around the world to share with us their 3D amazing visions of what it is to be part of Manga culture opening a fresh perspective on the cultural theme for those less familiar with up and coming youth cultural mediatic developments.

Against this modern futuristic display of phenomenal talent came views which also brought us back to comforting values: Grayson Perry shared his four most cherished rules of success with us:
1- be on time
2- be nice
3- work relentlessly
4- trust your intuition

He said the last one takes years of therapy and that if any of these go missing, success will elude...
Many thanks for reminding us of these essential daily ingredients, and so good to have a chat with you and friends after the show.

I guess one main ingredient present throughout the whole evening was positivity, without which none of this would have ever happen, the power of a positive sharing creative spirit might be so obvious like air and water for artists such as Grayson Perry and Kansai Yamamoto that they never mentioned it directly, yet it was lifting the whole event.

Grayson Perry mentioned the British Museum was an enormous source of cultural exchanges to visit and enjoy on a daily basis and Kansai Yamamoto kindly invited all students and models onto the stage, showing great spirit for cultural exchanges, which to me is the secret positive ingredient for all positive developments, passing on the baton to the younger generation is the best gesture and message to share.

So a big thank you to these very larger than life yet so sharing activists of the creative put to good: Kansai's suit was amazing, portraying a white polar bear trying to climb over an ice patch...
THANK YOU BOTH! and Thank you C. for inviting us... Your creation was out of this world...
