GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS

On January 17th it was time for the annual distribution of the Golden Globe Awards. It was HFPA, The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who formed the award 66 years ago to honor extraordi-nary businesses in the film and television industry, both abroad and in the United States.
It will be broadcasted in 160 countries and is the third largest award show, after the Academy Awards / Oscars and The Grammy Awards.

For the world's fashion designers it is also all about to make a mark/impression on the red carpet. If you are lucky enough to dress one or more celebrities, your fortune is almost done. It's priceless PR to have your designs exposed at events like this one.

You can see who won in the various catagories on the official website for Golden Globes.

THE PASSION

It is my passion to create clothes for the big moments in life, to create something concretely that has great value for other people.

In my work with creating stylish clothes, I get through a creative process, right from idéa, design, patternmaking and cutting to executing the final product.

Generating the idéa is the creative part of the process and the planning of how to do, is the theoretical part.
Where as the execution is pure crafting. To create a unique product from scratch, that is one-of-a-kind, is extremely satisfying. That is my creative vision and passion.

FASHION EXHIBITION UPDATE !

After a while it is time for a small Update here from Montrèal, where I am staying for Christmas this year.

I brought all my sketches, to be able to make most of the patterns for the dresses that is going on display from the 23 of february 2010 at The Art- building/ Kunstbygningen at Filosofgangen in Odense.

Until now it goes like planned. The plan was to buy the last fabrics here, where the have a much bigger selection.

SCIENCE FICTION FASHION

The other day, I discovered Lady Gaga on YouTube and became fascinated by the costumes and the way her theatrical music video was staged.

A modern, not to say a very futuristic expression, which clearly reflects the time we live in.

Her outfit was created by the English designer Alexander McQueen, whose latest show, spring 2010 was highly futuristic inspired by the new trend: Tribal, which can be translated into a tribe or with some good will, folklore.

The show contained many short dresses in special cuts, with historical references and print / material mix, which was staged in a remarkable way, with grotesque high, almost deformed shoes and special haircuts.

The cooperation or agreement between McQueen and Lady Gaga will of course benefit both parties so they get the best exposure in the media. That is quite obvious!

Also take a look McQueen's amazing show for this season, Fall / Winter 2009/2010 here.
