L'INTERVISTA CON....
GIOVANE STILISTA
TO LONG NAM
Dear Patrizia,
how are you doing? First of all I wish you a very Happy New Year and all the best for this up coming year. Thank you for the interest you take in my design work. I really appreciate it and I look forward to meet you soon in Rome.
E perché la scelta di questo nome?
And why the choice of this name?
l mio lavoro di progettazione si riferisce in molti modi i due opposti della cultura occidentale e asiatico.Quando ero alla ricerca di un nome che riflettono questo dualismo nel miglior modo possibile, ho deciso di usare il mio nome in quanto il mio background di immigrato asiatico rifletterebbe questa simbiosi culturale nel modo migliore e più autentica..... continua...
Gentile dott.ssa Pierbattista Patrizia, come stai? Prima di tutto vi auguro un Felice Anno Nuovo e tutto il meglio per quest'anno fino a venire. Grazie per l'interesse si prende nel mio lavoro di progettazione.Ho davvero apprezzato e non vedo l'ora di incontrarvi presto a Roma. Da dove viene l'ispirazione per le sue creazioni? "Negli ultimi 50 anni la società umana si è spostata dall'era industriale a quella dell'era digitale.Le nuove tecnologie stanno prendendo il controllo e competere con le capacità umane.Il nostro stile di vita moderno è sempre più dominato da macchine tecniche e strumenti digitali.Gli esseri umani ei loro corpi sono diventati sostituibili.Sperando di trovare la Fontana della Giovinezza persone sono d'accordo per fondersi con questa nuova tecnologia e per creare una nuova specie - l'homo digitale, o l'uomo digitale. "Vengo a Roma perchè sono stato invitato da Alta Roma e la signora Simonetta Gianfelici, dopo la mia nomina nel 2011 WHO IS ON NEXT?-Concorrenza. E 'solo un passo naturale dopo la gara di intensificare questo rapporto nuovo con Alta Roma e la signora Simonetta Gianfelici - per ringraziare sia per la loro generosità e il loro sostegno il mio tipo di lavoro di progettazione.Inoltre, venendo a Roma non vuol dire lasciare Parigi ..." "Ci sono stilisti che progettano, poi messo su, ma ci sono anche quelli che utilizzano la roba di destra poggia su un modello e pochi minuti o ore l'abitudine.Come si crea? My design work refers in many ways the two opposites of western and asian culture. When I was looking for a name which would reflect this dualism in the best way possible, I decided to use my own name since my background as an asian immigrant would reflect this cultural symbiosis in the best and most authentic way.
Where does the inspiration for his creations? In the last 50 years the human society has shifted from the industrial era to a digital era. New technologies are taking over and compete with human abilities. Our modern lifestyle is more and more dominated by technical machines and digital instruments. Human beings and their bodies have become replaceable. Hoping to find the Fountain of Youth people agree to merge with this new technology and to create a new species - the homo digitalis, or the digital man.
The new TÔ LONG-NAM collection for Fall/Winter 2012/13 will reflect the time we live in, the new technologies we develop to support and manage our daily life and the relationship we have towards this artificial intelligence. The collection will take advantage of the latest technologies to present a modern approach to traditional 'couture' through bonded finishings, seamless garments and new fabric qualities due to new yarn and fibre developments to present a strong and powerful collection for the modern woman of today. Coatings and dresses will be the core - the two garment categories which perfectly present the strong architectural and masculine character and the elegant and soft feminine side of the TÔ LONG-NAM design.To reinforce the technical approach of the collection, the designs show new garment constructions to create new volumes and shapes.
The modernity of the collection lies in its detail. CYBORG-like, all garments show a mix of modern and traditional parts. Technical fabrics are combined with traditional ones, woven with knits and outdoor with indoor. Sport, casual, elegance and technique goes couture. Welcome to the future. Why did you choose to come to Italy, namely Rome, when she was in Paris, the capital of haute couture internationally? I come to Rome as I have been invited by Alta Roma and Mrs Simonetta Gianfelici after my nomination in the WHO IS ON NEXT 2011?-competition. It is just a natural step after the competition to intensify this new relationship with Alta Roma and Mrs Simonetta Gianfelici - to thank both for their generosity and their kind support of my design work. Besides, coming to Rome does not mean leaving Paris...
What do you think of the global crisis and what might assume what will happen in the coming months or years for the industry of fashion and creativity of the European Union? The new challenge for the European fashion industry will be to compete with the creativity, the business skills and the curiosity of the emerging nations. On the one hand we will see an established infrastructure with a rich history and know-how in fashion business. On the other hand we will find a new generation of entrepreneurs who grew up with the new digital era. They are are curious and eager to learn in order to catch up and to prove themselves. It remains to find out who will benefit more. Regarding the fact that the global economy is shifting more and more towards the new emerging nations, the advantage might go to the challengers.
How to develop his clothes / creations? There are designers who design, then put on, but there are also those using the right stuff resting on a model and a few minutes or hours out of the habit. As you create it? There are many ways to develop a collection and I am taking advantage of any techniques and tools which help me to get what I am looking for - the desire to present season after season a strong and modern collection for a powerful women of today.
