WHAT HUMANS DO
CLARENCE DE VIL (NYC)
Mrs. Parrish, my mother, always aimed to mention one thing about changing, "You may spend all of your money being someone but, it cost nothing to be yourself." Oh, the places we can go! Of all the places we can go, New York City is the most problematic to adjust to and live in. If there were no New York City, we'd all be teenagers traveling around without optimism.
Being who we are, we assume things are what they're not. We take out our anger on something or someone, that won't have a slightest idea way, once we loose control of our emotions. We say that some people aren't real. However, when an optimistic and positive spirit realizes that they've done something wrong, it's different. Friends may decide to become an acquaintance and love you from a distance while others remain disappointed. So, we remain aware of every person's actions and reactions. We worry about every affection because, it's the small decisions, like deciding whether or not to buy a certain brand of Merlot for someone or to show up to a contingent event through a face you met on the A train yesterday morning, that stick with us forever. Living free, that is a phrase that only a handful of humans truly understand. It's the type of understanding that can possibly have you finding yourself at the edge of a yacht, on the Atlantic Ocean, letting the wind blow in your face while the Statue of Liberty is in your peripheral.

During this day a contemporary art exhibition that was held at Palazzo Martinelli - Pesce, situated in a small place in the province of our city called Mola di Bari. The exhibition was called POINTS OF VIEW/ POINTS OF ESPACE (May 18th - 25th)
This artistic event was curated by Maria Vinella. Many artists were invited to exhibit their works, such as: Carmela Balice, Valeria Caldara, Francesco Chiricallo, Will Be Joy, Rossella Laterza, Mayra Mastromarino, David Partipilo, Anna Paschal and Barbara Simone.
The title of the exhibition , POINTS OF VIEW, means one who narrates with objective detachment or emotional involvement with the real, while the other phrase, POINTS OF ESCAPE, means prospectively, the points to converging the look while collecting the data of reality. In the middle, multiple images of the artists using the language of art that generate visions of the world.

WHO IS SHE?!
CLARENCE DE VIL (NYC)
I could tell you about a variety of women that aren't just fishing for your compliments because, they have a bigger purpose in mind - Outstanding women who apprehend that, without much thought, BLIND SPECS is an oxymoron that promotes critical thinking. If people understand that, they understand that they are a teacher, everywhere they go, for those who can't quite see how beautiful everything is and who is here to bring people together and encourage individuals with kind hearts, welcoming arms, great energy, and an eye for others that are aiming to create change wherever they go for future generations to come.
Alex Ramone is aiming to create a group of leaders that see past people's "cuteness" and go straight to asking questions that are crucial for progression. She moved to New York in October, has gotten over the hoopla of the city, and listens to everyone. After all, that's the best courtesy that you can give to anyone, listening. Rather than showing teenage girls and young ladies who's at the top through enough money to show off or some sort of being telling them to say something that they can't say for themselves, we should direct these young beings towards women like Alex, the outstanding musician. We need to teach people about women who still believe in the word
trailblazer,
pioneer, and party starter for the future. We have become such a passive era that we don't even realize who we're really paying attention to and who really deserves our attention.

STAMFORD
CLARENCE DE VIL (NYC)
For anyone that believes in destiny, at least the beings that believe in more than what they've been taught to believe, you know that anyone who sticks around for more than a glass of champagne and a heart felt story, given by you, with bearable compliments and thoughts beyond your history of speculation, should stick around. You should know that there will be moments in life that will be complex. For example, realizing that something may not be what it seemed to be.
Even if you believe that nothing is difficult because, difficult, for anyone, is something that someone creates by themselves, abstract surroundings with comfort remind you not to loose yourself.
Who we meet and where, the people that see eye to eye with us, cannot be determined by anyone. However, when we meet them, in whatever our surroundings may be, we should espy to the moment.

GUESS WHAT...
CLARENCE DE VIL (NYC)
Rarely, these days, will you hear me mentioning what I'm going to do. If you really want to make an impact, go with your gut and make a move. The ones that love you, know you, and inspire you will always call your name, no matter where you are. Believe in trust. It's everywhere.
Did I mention that I'm back in NYC? ;-)

BREATHE
CLARENCE DE VIL (NYC)
There's something liberating about driving down the highway with all of the windows down, music blasting, and not knowing where exactly you're going or what you're going to do once you arrive. Road trips. They show us how beautiful life really is, introduce us to the way that others keep themselves together, and allow us to inhale and exhale for as long as we need.
Showing an act of kindness, to a stranger, may go a long way. In New York, a majority of individuals (locals and transplants) believe that everyone should fight for themselves, keep to themselves , and sometimes refrain from sharing the smallest of thoughts that could grow into something that would be worth their time because, it would benefit them in the future. Those people, are hard to find. So, you lead by example, live your life, and realize, sometimes, silence is the best action that you and your surroundings should endure. A trip to nowhere makes that complete, for yourself.

LORENZO RIVA FALL/WINTER 2013-14
MARCO RICH & SIMONA VENUS (ITALY)
Directly from the
Lorenzo Riva's press office! A preview, for BLIND SPECS, of shots taken for the F/W 2013/ 2014 Collection.
Two moods.
One of the trip, in line with the traditional image of woman Lorenzo Riva sophisticated and timeless charm.
The other newest for the Maison and inspired by the strength of contrast: the protagonist, surrounded by the languished atmospheres, is self-confident and able to shine his bright charisma.
