Some pictures by Sam Hessamian.

----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------

I like Black and white pictures, specially close-ups. They have something special, they let my imagination fly. It probably has to do with me and my fascination for everything that looks older than a century. Sam Hessamian's work is great: he does a lot of b&w shooting and he seems to love high contrast photos as much as I do. That's not very common in the fashion industry, as most fashion photographers prefer color pictures because they want us to focus in the model's attire, while the whole "evoking feelings" thing is left aside. Of course, that doesn't happen with Hessamian's work, in which elegance and emotions blend perfectly.

Yo quiero ser feliz de una manera pequeña. Con dulzura, con esperanza, con insatisfacción, con limitación, con tiempo, con perfección (Martin Adan).

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to" (Jim Jarmusch).

Propongo la idea del vestir como una práctica corporal contextuada a modo de marco teórico y metodológico para comprender la compleja relación dinámica entre el cuerpo, la ropa y la cultura. Este marco reconoce que los cuerpos están constituidos socialmente, que están siempre ubicados en la cultura y que el resultado de las prácticas individuales dirigidas al cuerpo, es decir, la «vestimenta», es el resultado de «vestirse» o de «estar vistiéndose». Examinar las influencias estructurales sobre el cuerpo vestido requiere tener en cuenta las restricciones históricas y sociales del mismo, limitaciones que influyen sobre el acto de «vestirse» en un momento dado" (Joanne Entwistle).
