Creative Musings

I just had to share with everyone my most splendid news.

I officially have an internship interview with the company that I really want to work for: Patafisic.

I was able to visit the design studio for this company in 2005 when I was in Florence and met the designer(s). Everything is made here in Italy from beginning concept and design through choosing the yarns and production. They deal entirely with knitwear, which is multifunctional and what I would consider to be fashion forward. The pieces are very unique and interesting.

I have my interview at 3pm on Monday the 14th! Wish me luck!

Here is some info about the theory of patafisic from their web site (which you should also check out if you are interested). patafisic

"Patafisic was estabilished in Florence in 1995 by designers Brenda Cecchi and Andrea Sicuro, as a design studio dealing with fashion, interiors, graphics and live performance.
As a conscious tribute to the rational absurdity described by Jarry as Pataphysics, the search has always been focused on the intimate relations between basic and pure concepts and their possible, imaginary, deviant possibilities."

"In the years knitwear has been the main field of application, a proposition of excellence in made in Italy. From the yarn to manufacture, the principles are quality, originality, focused design.
Patafisic looks at every item as an object, where complexity is clear and defined, and the goal is a confortable and playful wear."
"Each season is not a style, no themes are pre-ordinated, there is no attempt to define a closed and static vision. Every collection is built around a continuous focus on the relation between body and geometrical shapes, the action of wearing and its potential creative consequences. It can starts from a detailed body observation as well from the domain of traditional elements or any possible experiment of (un)conventional wearing.

"As an indipendent and unclassifiable design studio Patafisic has collaborated with different subjects and in different contexts and directions, from contemporary performing to highly qualified technical research, and some particular cases of individual projects, to enjoy a playful design for a private language."

"Patafisic is a true personal action. It is not couture neither architecture: it is design, in the meaning of care for what it will be."
"In motion and in meaning, a synthesis of language, design and - mostly - different considerations."
