SUMMER RAIN
spring/summer 2010
fall/winter 2010/11
Time and Place
Time and place inspire designers for new collections such as the Barcelona based 'American Perez' duo that is working on the rural United States clothing style. The result is a mysterious Twin Peaks-Laura Palmer outfit in 50s style.
Or the Lebanese designer Noor Fares who is inspired by her Middle Eastern heritage. She transfers this cultural knowledge into contemporary jewellery with an earthy appeal that touches with the shine of its diamonds the ceiling.
Journalists on the other hand, chronicle what happens on these places at certain times; such as the Madrid based collective 'Cronotopo'. Sylvian Cherkaoui is one of them. His animated story of images leads you to the Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week.
Video: Madrid based photojournalist Sylvain Cherkaoui presents impressions from the Cibeles Madrid Fashion 2010 with the movie 'One day in Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week' on YouTube. Music: 'Samson' by Regina Spektor. More than 50 designers have presented the new fall/winter 2010/11 collections on 6 days from 18 to 23 February 2010 at the Cibeles Madrid Fashion. For the first time, fashion bloggers were invited to the 'Asus BloggerSpace' to report their points of view on the participating designers to their community of virtual followers. Cibeles has structured the fashion week into 43 fashion shows to give an insight into the creativity of Spanish fashion designers. Sylvain Cherkaoui learned to take images with the camera while he studied Marine Biology in Marseille. After his degree he attended trainings in photography and multimedia in Paris. Today, he works for national newspapers and several publishing companies.
Sylvain Cherkaoui is one of 17 photographers from the collective 'Cronotopo' (means in Old Greek 'time' and 'place'). The website shows various journalistic photo stories from 'Fashion' over 'Migration' to 'Aids'. In April 2010, the collective writes on the website: "...our commitment with photojournalism, seeking to stimulate a utopian gesture in our profession." cronotopo.com
