Uvenio: "The Baroque Collection"

 The Photo shoot of Josh Costa was amazing in my Uvenio Baroque Collection. The designs inspire by prints of baroque, It was done on a Thursday afternoon on location in New York. The studio was amazingly filled with makeup artist, Jewrel, several interns and the photographer was Scott Bush, Josh brough glamour, masculine and sex appeal into my collection Seen in silky fabric from Italy and created two printed silk shirts with baroque buttons. I have always been inspired by Baroque.

The Baroque (US /bəˈroʊk/ or UK /bəˈrɒk/) is a period of artistic style that used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, architecture, literature, dance and music. The style began around 1600 in Rome, Italy and spread to most of Europe.

 

The popularity and success of the Baroque style was encouraged by the Roman Catholic Church, which had decided at the time of the Council of Trent, in response to the Protestant Reformation, that the arts should communicate religious themes in direct and emotional involvement'. The aristocracy also saw the dramatic style of Baroque architecture and art as a means of impressing visitors and expressing triumphant, power and control. Baroque palaces are built around an entrance of courts, grand staircases and reception rooms of sequentially increasing opulence.

Uvenio Couture: Black Diamond Collection 2013

 

Uvenio Couture: Black Diamond 2013 my personal favorite collection of using different shades of black. Black is mysterious. The color of darkness is undoubtedly the most popular color in fashion.   The Color wearing black suggests elegance, authority and power.    

When worn properly, black clothing also conveys neatness, simplicity and great versatility. I don't know of any piece of clothing or fashion accessory that doesn't look good in black. Never hesitate to go with black -- just don't wear all black, all the time.

 

 

Black is the color of authority and power. It is popular in fashion because it makes people appear thinner. It is also stylish and timeless. Black also implies submission. Priests wear black to signify submission to God. Some fashion experts say a woman wearing black implies submission to men. Black outfits can also be overpowering, or make the wearer seem aloof or evil. Villains, such as Dracula, often wear black.

 

Simply divine models, I known those beautiful women for 4 years from different agencies and they have worked with me at Anna Sui and Whithall & Shon. Lydia. Heather. Simone. Elle. Carrie and the handsome Butch Mathis  all looked amazing in my latest Uvenio Black Diamond Collection with photography Bruno. That is his name! No last name, he preferred to be known for one name done a magnificent work with me. His work have graced in several fashion magazines overseas. 

Close friend  and Makeup artist, Mandy Ellis have done a tremendous job making the looks of all the models in dark shades of eyes and lips to give my designs very gothic feelings and mysterious.  The photoshoot was taken place in Jun in the photography studio of Bruno in the West Village.

PUNK: Chaos to Couture is AMAZING!

THE Met Museum's Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibition was one of its most successful in history. The Costume Institute show's run came to a close this week. And I went to see Punk, 7 times! Its just spectacular and a major inspiration!

An ode to the punk movement and its impact on the fashion industry, the showcase featured over 100 pieces of both men's and women's fashion, from designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, Rodarte, Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang (including that Gianni Versace safety-pin dress worn by Elizabeth Hurley in 1994.)

 

The exhibition ran from May 9 (its opening was celebrated in conjunction with the annual Met Ball) until August 14, and received 442,350 visitors - making it the fifth most-popular installation in the last 25 years, reports WWD. 

The four exhibits to surpass that visitor number were those dedicated to Alexander McQueen, fashion superheroes, Jackie Kennedy and Chanel.
I wish the Punk exhibit at the Met, could be longer!!!
