Danniel Rangel talks about the documentary on Vera Valdez and the history of Vera and Chanel
Dear Shaded Viewers,
Yesterday I met with Danniel Rangel and Vera Valdez to discuss the documentary on Vera's life. Along with the documentary there will be a photo installation showing the history of Vera as it crossed the history of Chanel including photographs by Frank Horvat, Willy Rizzo and Helmut Newton, among others. When Vera was 15 a man at a dinner party asked her if she was a model, she had no idea what a model was, she asked her mother, her mother showed her some fashion magazines and told her this is what a model is. She moved to Paris and that is where at the age of 16 she met Coco Chanel. It was the beautiful Suzy Parker that introduced the two. Afterwards she met the director Louis Malle, who taught her about film, acting, editing, etc and they made a film together but as she was a 'clandestine' with only a diplomatic passport she was not able to appear in the credits. She comes from a theatre family, so acting has always been a part of her life. Over the next few days I'll be posting little sound bytes in French and we will screen this short film with ASVOFF 2 in October at the Centre Pompidou if all goes as planned. Vera has acted with Teatroficina under the name of Vera Barreto Leite for the past 50 years.
Later,
Diane

She is the model that knew Coco Chanel the best. When Vera was 16 the model Suzy Parker introduced her to Coco Chanel. Video sound bytes coming soon.

Just came back from watching the fireworks with Dragos Olea and while we were there there was a faint smell of 'maryjane' in the air. Hence, this song.

Upcoming Auction 'Lidija Kolovrat - 20 years in fashion'
Lidija Kolovrat, similarly to the guidelines of the futurists,
recontextualized social and urban individuals emphasizing social
phenomena, that lead to questions about our attitude towards the
physical world and the world of ideas when confronted by political and
ideological constraints. We are not speaking of a unifying concept of
her work but a leitmotiv that insists, against worldly and transient
fashion, in a playful use of these parts, which enhances the
idiosyncrasy of the user and not like a mirror of this era´s taste.
In one of her most successful collections, the author set to fire a red
skirt and with it nearly burned her entire studio. In another of her
experiences, a friend voluntarily wore a coat that was then wrapped in
latex where he then had to be detained past midnight hours until the
latex dried. He was released through the force of scissors that
ultimately redefined the openings of the jacket and revealed its final
shape and appearance – so at the end was that a performative act? A
used-looking coat acquires an extra semantics to be "designed" for the
hot tips of lit cigarettes. This is the
method of Lidija Kolovrat: take the rules, the standard things, rethink
them and present them in the light of her environmental concerns,
social and political.
In this moment Lidija is changing her creative state. This auction serves as a point of
situation, a historical overview, a retrospective reflection of twenty
years of Kolovrat’s work.
'Lidija Kolovrat - 20 years in fashion' Auction: 23 July | Thursday | 20:00 pm | Kolovrat Concept Store, Rua do Salitre 169 Lisbon
