Summer School ELISAVA: Workshop on Fashion Design and Textile Technology

Posted in General by admin on the March 28th, 2010
summer Taller de Diseño de Moda y Tecnologías Textiles
Duración: del 5 al 14 de julio. De 10.00 a 14.00 horas
Horas: 32

PRESENTACIÓN
Este taller ofrecerá la oportunidad al diseñador de moda y complementos de integrar en sus creaciones las innovaciones científicas y tecnológicas aplicadas al textil.

El curso estimula una cultura proyectual del diseño basada en la experimentación y la investigación. Se darán a conocer las últimas innovaciones en tejidos y sus posibles aplicaciones. Se trabajará en la investigación y el desarrollo de propuestas basadas en smart textiles (tejidos inteligentes) para buscar nuevas oportunidades para la industria de la moda y la confección.

El taller estará conducido por Joan Fàbregas, uno de los diseñadores que más se ha valorado por integrar innovación tecnológica textil en sus propuestas creativas y que ha destacado en las últimas ediciones no sólo en Pasarela Cibeles, sino también como firme candidato a ser el representante de una nueva generación de diseñadores en el ámbito internacional.

OBJETIVOS
Los objetivos principales de este programa son:

- Integrar las innovaciones textiles en el proyecto de diseño de moda y complementos.
- Proporcionar conocimientos teórico-prácticos sobre las nuevas tecnologías y su aplicación en el diseño de moda.
- Ponerse al día en nuevas tendencias en ingeniería textil para aportar valor.
- Promover la participación de los alumnos, quienes, al desarrollar sus propios proyectos, tendrán la oportunidad de construir una metodología de trabajo que les mostrará cómo desarrollar prendas o colecciones, partiendo no sólo de una noción creativa, sino de un parámetro de funcionalidad concreta, otorgada por la investigación.

Installation du collectif Visual System, pour l’édition 2009 du festival Scopitone à Nantes.
48X48 a été réalisée par Julien Guinard, Stephen Roques et Valère Terrier.
Une sculpture lumineuse interactive et contrôlable, une œuvre volumétrique en apesanteur de 64m2, le collectif travaille sur des structures architecturales provisoires avec une technologie détournée : la led. Conçue comme un espace de lumière sans armature, généré par son environnement, elle happe le spectateur qui mènera rapidement un jeu spatial (sa position), architectural (points de vue de l’installation dans l’espace) et cinétique (vitesse de déplacement), alors conditionnés par la présence ou absence de lumière.
Remerciement très spécial à Monsieur Thierry Pillet et à la Fondation Jean-Luc Lagardère qui sont à nos côtés depuis le début.

Photographer, publisher and film director, Rankin established his reputation when he launched Dazed & Confused with his business partner Jefferson Hack in 1991.

From his iconic shot of Kylie lying naked and prostrate, to the Queen smiling enigmatically, Rankin’s iconic, intimate portraiture style, and his mischievous eye have gained him a reputation as one of the world’s leading photographers.

Rising to every challenge, Rankin has never shied from portraying difficult subject matter, addressing issues from domestic violence to body image in both his personal work as well as charity and commercial projects. He made headlines again with his campaign for Dove showing women who differed from the usual stick-thin advertising stereotype. He has also shot prominent charity campaigns for Amnesty International, Everyman, Special Olympics, Oxfam, Teenage Cancer Trust, Refuge, The Teaching Awards, Women’s Aid, Women’s Vote, Breast Cancer Awareness and Youth Music.

In early 2009, Rankin embarked on his largest and most ambitious project to date; Rankin Live! Based at the Truman Brewery in London, Rankin combined a museum-scale retrospective spanning his 22-year career, with creating a photographic record of Britain in the 21st century. Photographing 1,500 members of the public, images were hanging on the exhibition wall within 15 minutes of the shutter being fired.

In October 2009 he published the books ‘Heidilicious’ and ‘Rankin’s Cheeky’. ‘Heidilicious’ is a celebration of model, Heidi Klum, and Rankin’s photographic relationship over the last 7 years. From the early shoots to the present day, this book tracks their collaborations and inspirational campaigns. ‘Rankin’s Cheeky’ probes between innocent mischief and edgy erotica, paying homage to the female form. Rankin says simply, “There’s no point in dressing it up, I love women and I love taking photos. It’s more like a fantastic hobby than a job.”

Rankin lives in London with his wife Tuuli, and thirteen-year-old son, Lyle.

Skittles: Facebook Mob Of Love!

Posted in General by admin on the March 16th, 2010

Vía digital buzz blog

Ahhh Skittles! This is what agency EVB (a team skittles member) created as part of the skittles valentines day campaign, utilisng their newly created “Mob The Rainbow” facebook fan page of over 4 million people (Coca-Cola has 5 million) to mob an unsuspecting meter maid with love!

This is a great way to integrate and leverage your social following with real world activation, then completing a full circle by demonstrating the power of that following back online with video proof of what’s been achieved by the group. In this case, over 44,000 people wrote valentines day messages as part of the facebook campaign, which were then printed out, packaged and delivered by cupid himself!

I’m really looking forward to see what the “Mob The Rainbow” digital initiative can come up with this year. Skittles started the digital makeover with a view to start recruiting fans over a 12 month period. If you’re a skittles lover, then you should Become A Fan Here.
