Treviso Vintage ai Carraresi, 14-17 November 2019

November is the right time to hunt for a special present for ourselves or for someone we like or love. When an important Vintage exhibition is on, I am very willing to write about, but when it takes place in one of the most beautiful and peculiar towns of Italy and with some of the best italian Vintage exhibitors, dealers and/or Vintage researchers I am more than persuaded to personally visit it, as I begin to be frantic to feel the sense of unmissable event, so to speak.
The Town is the amazing Treviso in the Venetian region,where canals and watermills are scattered throughout a refined historical centre which is basically whole pedestrian area and where you can see how happily both inhabitants and turists feel at ease wondering around in a carfree city and being attacted by the appeal of the several cultural and art events which take place every week.
The specialty show & exhibition is called "Vintage ai Carraresi" and it will display Vintage fashion among which an amazing variety or true rarities as accessories, purses, shoes, period jewelry as well as some modernist furniture and interior design pieces.
So, coming back to the unmissable concept (lol), the location will be the Palace "Ca' dei Carraresi", which dates back to the 13th century and hosts different temporary art galleries, shows and exhibitions.
I will be there at the Casa Carraresi from tomorrow for a first overview and definitelly I will be among the first visitors on Thursday, the opening day which has a dense program, including the press conference & vernissage fixed at 6pm where the collateral exhibition dedicated (as an absolute première) to the sketches, models and patterns drawn by Giuliana Coen Camerino (conceiver of the worldwide famours "Roberta di Camerino" brand on large frabrics applying a special tecnique she conceived to design on large clothes facing direcly the body of her mannequins.
Either that that, I will be there to especially visit to great friends of mine:
Corama, jewel designer from Valenza, author with her father and grandfa of an exquite and multifaceted museum collection of unique exemplars.(see pictures)

Angela Eupani, from Vicenza, conceiver of a spectacular exhibition in progress that takes places in different towns of Italy called "Sculptures to Wear", dedicated to 100 years of costume history about purses & shoes.
In this location, she will be there with a selection of her bag's collection projected and manufactured by american and european designers who used pre-plastic materials to make their avantguardist creation in molds such as bakelite, lucite, rodohid, celluloid etc.
Bags which are considered futuristic still nowadays and certainly so rare & one-of-a-kind for shapes, colours, architecture, modernism meanings... (see profile & pictures)

The show will begin on Thursday 14 until Sunday 17 included with opening times 10am to 8pm nonstop.
There will be a moderate fee at the entrance which will grant a public of very interested people who will give satisfaction to the qualified Vintage exhibitors who have been choosen to partake.
The show sounds extremelly aimed at customers & buyers who hare a certain style & refined taste, who are individualist and don't like to uniform to fashion dictats addressed to mass, instead who like to wear Vintage clothes and accessories to express their own personal style and taste. All in all, more "influencers" than "influenced" ;-)
Can't resist to be in Treviso & hunt for high quality & rare Vintage.

All invited! Long life to Vintage!!

VINTAGE WORKSHOP^® Milano 9-11 February
Palace Stelline, Corso Magenta 61  9am/8pm

Vintage Workshop is pre-eminently dedicated to an audience of fashion pros, designers, buyers, stylists, textile product managers and fashion cool hunters but in recent edition the show has opened his doors to the private public as well. Vintage fans consider the show a heaven on earth as it discloses old Vintage archive and highly collectable exemplars, one of a kind pieces that are highly sought after for their uniqueness or rarity and a high stylistic meaning. All the items on show are authentic and genuine Vintage.

There will be a common idea that leads the entire expo and sale: “Ricercatori Moda D’epoca,” the Association of the Italian Vintage Fashion Hunters that organized the event, calls it “Sharing Concept.”
This simply means, the best things in life can be obtained by learning how to share experiences and passions.

This impetus and forward-thinking lead Angela Eupani, founder of the Vintage Workshop® project, to write a screenplay titled “Illuminated Survivors of the Third Millennium.” With tenacious enthusiasm, she dared to propose the project to the biggest and most original “digital” visual artist in the world; Native-American, DarkAngelOne aka RedHawk. Regarded as one of the most glorified video creators in the genre of avant-garde music, he has collaborated with musicians:

Bruce Ruffin, Gary Numan, Muse and other artists, photographers and art directors worldwide. RedHawk developed his technique through the implementation of continuous experimentation.  It begins with static images and photographs which he processes to give movement and constant change through digital painting techniques;

techniques that call into question the concept of time. A picture can stop or freeze time, but he manages to give a sense of perpetual transformation, an unstoppable history that never repeats itself.

The application of this special painting technique and digital morphing, which can take DarkAngel0ne several hours or even days to finalize a single picture, leads to such amazing results- transforming two-dimensional images  into a constant visionary and dreamy metamorphosis of 3D art.

Even the unreleased soundtrack deserves special recognition as it too was created through the concept of "free sharing." It not only brought together a dozen artists and musicians of various genres: martial Hardcore, Industrial, Progressive

Rock, Psychedelic Rock and even atmospheric Folk for the final sequence; but these artists ranged geographically- from The Russian Federation,  to Holland, Great Britain, to Italy and The United States. 

They were fused together by inspirational magic that only great men and maestros like RedHawk can share, and all this for a Not-For-Profit organization.

From this collaboration a new international movie production was birthed, a visual and musical narrative that includes some of the Industrial, Martial Post-Punk, Steam Punk and new Urban Cyber themes that the Vintage Workshop® suggests for life and for the future fashion styles.

The first episode of what promises to become an epic visionary film will be presented at Palazzo delle Stelline, under the title “CYS, Cyber Citizens in the World Through My Eyes.” It initiates Sunday the 9th of February at 6pm and concludes

on Tuesday the 11^th, same day as the opening day of MILANOUNICA, with a special Vintage Shopping Show for stylists, designers and creators all day long and a special presentation with welcome cocktail and a projection of the above described music movie on a mega screen installation inside the exhibition Hall Solari at the Stelline Palace from 5:30pm to 8pm. Entrance is free.
