My name is constanza lópez and i am a graphic designer born in santiago de chile. during this last years i’ve realized studies in graphic design and art direction in the politécnico of milán (2011) and recently in Paris (2014), i’ve done a major in image design in the institut français de la mode. youth and culture have always been an important source of inspiration As a big consumer of music and books, fashion represents the ideal space to create with total freedom, something I define as my creative “background”. Inside the interaction between graphic design, communication and the fashion industry there is a fundamental point that is shared in common, a fact that at the same time highlight each other: the meaning and the stories behind things. In this book I will show you my way of translating and communicating fashion and culture through art direction,branding, DESIGN SPACE & graphic design.

Between the garments and the body there is an empty and intimate space. Taking as inspiration the pureness and the emptiness, I wanted to bring that private space into the concept of this photoshoot by using the white and hi lighting the garments

it was important to find the balance between something strict and something with movement. That is why i decided to create a logo square and bold (strict) and another element more dynamic made with paint (acrylic technique). The color inspiration was taking by the favorites colors of the designer, always present in her work.
