Riassunto

This scintillating book is a retrospective fashion show of the first decade of creations by the Colombian designer Silvia Tcherassi, widely considered to be the most dazzling talent that has emerged from the ranks of Latin American fashion in recent years. Employing a format of eight visual stories, photographer Juan Carlos Obando captures the creativity and talent of this remarkably young designer, who has won an international reputation for her unusual handling of materials, colors and textures, in styles that have revolutionized the Latin American fashion scene and conquered overseas markets.

The photography is focused on the creative development of Silvia Tcherassi's clothes over the past ten years and displays creations that cover the gamut of contemporary expressions, from her pret-a-porter line to her haute couture one. Obando uses the dresses as a pretext to invent short visual features, which remove the dresses from their usual context and convert them into theatrical elements that on some occasions are simple and on others complex. He seeks to exhibit the true enchantment of her clothing: its capacity to seduce. The prologue to this important publication by Villegas Editores was written by Lola Gavarron, the eminent Spanish fashion critic, who was one of the first to foresee the successful career of Tcherassi.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Silvia Tcherassi was born in Barranquilla, Colombia and studied interior design, until a stay in Europe led her to dedicate herself to the world of fashion in 1992. Hailed by fashion critics and the leading international magazines as the revelation among the new wave of Latin American designers, she has won many awards and prizes. Married and the mother of two children, she runs her own company, based in Barranquilla, whose products are on sale in the best boutiques of Colombia and Miami and prestigious stores in the United States, Europe and Asia.

Juan Carlos Obando was born in Barranquilla, Colombia. He began his career in Miami, then moved to New York and Los Angeles. Along the way he put his mark on imagery for Disney, San Pellegrino, BMW Australia and Kellogs. Juan Carlos' profile skyrocketed in 1998 when he joined the creative forces at Saatchi & Saatchi Los Angeles, extending his award-winning touch to Toyota U.S.A. A Renaissance man, he is known in the advertising photography and fashion worlds as "JC." His use of color and cinemagraphic compositions have established him as one of the most distinctive visual imagemakers of his generation.
