Carlotta Bertelli – photographer:
A woman suspended between wonder and reality: where did the inspiration for the editorial come from?
“The editorial was inspired by the work of Ghana artist Philip Kwame Apagya, whose portraits, suspended between realism and naiveté, represent the place where “dreams come true”.
All my research revolves around the interaction between reality and fiction, and illusion, which for me is the most fascinating side of fashion: on the set and reality becomes desire and desire becomes possible.

On January 22nd Pauline van Dongen presented her new collection ‘Stereopsis’ F/W 2011 at a crowded but cosy Magazijn, Amsterdam. The show opened with a projection of the Stereopsis Video; a visualisation of the concept of depth perception and the way Pauline explored the idea of light, shadow and illusion in her shape experiments. This was followed by models appearing from a doorway and stepping on elevated platforms to form a tableau vivant.

As the eyes of humans and other animals are in different positions on the head, they present different views simultaneously. This is the basis of stereopsis, the process by which the brain exploits the parallax due to the different views from the eye to gain depth perception and estimate distances to objects. The mesmerizing video is a preview of the womenswear collection Stereopsis, which explores this phenomenon.

The 23-year-old Dutch designer Pauline van Dongen won the third prize in the annual international fashion competition Mittelmoda in Italy. Pauline van Dongen received the award for Most Creative Collection. This prize of 2500 euros was handed out by the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. Pauline is a graduate of the Fashion Institute Arnhem. Her womenswear collection “Morphogenesis” can best be described as minimalistic, clean and experimental.

For those heading Paris on March the 3rd and 4th,the Fashion Institute Arnhem(ArtEZ) will be introducing its new creative engines under an exhibition-showroom space. The eight graduates are working together with Freudenthal/Verhagen, binding Galerie Joseph and their collections into a promising event.

The winning shoe design ‘Vertigo’ has an industrial look because of the use of technical materials combined with a heel of wood and metal. Pauline’s design is like a dialogue between the upper of the shoe and it’s sole. The one is inseparable from the other. Where the sole end and where the upper begins is unclear and arouses curiosity. Her design is a spatial, sculptural gesture in which her search for reflections and perspective meet naturally.
