DESIGNER PROFILE Brazil

dudu gonzaga My name is Carlos Eduardo Gonzaga, but I am better known as Dudu Gonzaga, I’m 19 years old and live in Barbacena, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. I am writing to tell you my story.

Well since childhood, with approximately 4 years, I began to show ease to draw, and when I entered the school distinguished myself by drawing with great wealth of detail human figures. In childhood I discovered that my gift is the creation, I always liked to create. Thus was born the dream of becoming a stylist, and since then I’ve been maturing this idea.

I am the son of poor couple, my mother is a housekeeper and gardener my father, and even with the difficulties that does not stop me from believing in my dreams. I won a gift from God, am detail oriented and observant, my inspiration comes from nature, birds, woman. Self-taught, never had any course to enhance my sketches. My dream is to one day study fashion, making fashion college!

Unfortunately I do not have resources to invest in studies, I am strong and believe in my ideals and I gradually build and realized my dream.

TAKE ME HOME

Sweetie Sweetie is a scruffy 9-month-old puppy who boasts that fun, affectionate and spunky personality that Welsh terriers are known for. Rain or shine, this energetic girl is game to walk, run play or investigate. She would be well suited for an owner who is just as ready to tackle anything anytime. Sweetie is partially housetrained and she knows a few tricks- some of them are useful… other’s not so much. Just be sure to keep the laundry basket out of her reach as she likes to steal dirty shirts and drag them around the house. With a little patience and an endless amount of love, she is sure to be a loyal and faithful companion.

For more information about Sweetie call 602-957-3113 or visit the Arizona Humane Society’s Petique Retail and Adoption Center located at the Biltmore Fashion Park. Her adoption fee is just $110 and includes her spay surgery and first vaccines.

For more information about Sweetie call 602-997-7585 or visit www.azhumane.org to see all the homeless pets who are waiting to be adopted.

NY FASHION WEEK

GINIE CY HUANG

Designer Review

by Wade lee Richards/The House of Wade Lee

I first want say what an honor it is to be invited to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, and thank you to the Academy of Art University for allowing me this opportunity. Also, A special thanks to Fashion-Faces Magazine for sending me to New York as their Fashion Corespondent covering The Academy of Art University Spring 2013 Show. Each collection was uniquely different from student to student. From geometric layered textiles to fabulous pops of color, there was trends to be loved by any fashionista. The execution and attention to detail was impeccable.

Here are a few of my favorite Spring 2013 Fashion Trends forecasted by the design students at the Academy of Art University.

The layered side bun/chignon- Love the simplicity of this hair style. It can be played up to be very chic and sexy or styled with a comfortable airy look to keep it soft and wearable durning the day.

Who said you can’t wear white after Labor Day? They definitely did not go to school at the Academy of Art University. Stephina Touch’s Spring 2013 all white collection was classy yet comfortable, her choice of soft white silhouettes on the runway caught everyones attention.

Metallic cross-hatch patterned textiles was all the rage with the collaboration from Jie Jessie Liu and Tanja Milutinovic. Those who love textured textiles will love this Spring 2013 trend.

Bright Neons and Feathers make a for Spring 2013.

Jarida Karnjanasirirat Jarida Karnjanasirirat’s collection was all about construction and dimension, Born in Bangkok, Thailand, she earned a bachelor’s degree from Thammasat University before coming to Academy of Art University to pursue a master’s degree in Fashion Design.

Karnjanasirirat wanted to mimic the structure of relief sculptures – in which elements of the sculpture are raised from the background. She created three dimensional collars, lapels, and pleats, bringing her inspiration to life in her garments. Taking every detail seriously, she designed an eye catching collection that anyone who appreciates good design would love.

When asked about other designers she admires Karnjanasirirat said “Marc Jacobs and Francisco Coasta:. Inspired by the process of designing and making clothes Karnjanasirirat is well on her way to becoming a fashion designer sought after for her perfect detail and construction.

Jie Jessie Liu was born and raised in Penglai, in the Shandong Province of China, and earned her B.F.A. in Accounting from York University in Canada. At Academy of Art University, she has earned her M.F.A. in Fashion Design.

Liu collaborated with textile designer Tanja Milutinovic for her Spring 2013 collection. She was inspired by the artist Anish Kapoor, known for his geometric, streamlined sculptures and installations, which she interpreted in the garments’ sharp lines and angular silhouettes. As a young girl Liu loved to dress her Barbie dolls, and like so many other fashionistas became a shopaholic. While working in finance she loved looking at fashion magazines and decided to follow her heart and become a designer.Â

THE HOT LIST

keep an eye on

LITTLE ALEX Preparation meets opportunity, meet Alex - face of the future.

Becoming a top model is a dream many girls aspire to, for Alex, just 13 one sum-

mers day in 2012 opportunity found a face of the future. Attending a model casting

with her mother Erika in the Slovak capital Bratislava, her home city was a day that changed everything for the fresh-faced Alex.

Fast growing HM Models immediately saw the potential of Alex; the casting crew

were taken aback not just with this fresh new face but with Alex’s personally and maturity, they knew they were looking at an outstanding prospect. Perhaps as important to Alex’s looks was the positive and professional support from her mother Erika, this will be particularly important in the competitive demanding world awaiting a young model.

But there’s a twist to the story, HM Models whereas being based and recruiting in

central European countries such as Austria, Czech Republic & Slovakia, well known as talent rich scouting markets actually focuses on “international marketability” of

its models in Paris, Milan, London, New York thus working with the world’s biggest agencies and brands.

Just days later on a visit to Bratislava the Director of agency from Milan spotted Alex’s picture on the new faces portfolio wall of HM Models office, that’s when the “who’s

that” moment struck. Everything happened very fast following that change moment explains Christian Hummer CEO & founder of HM Models, “Alex was invited for

casting in Milan, supported by her mother Erika, Alex was booked for 2013. Alex has the rare opportunity to live the dream dreamt by many girls working and living in Milan as high potential model.”

Some might question the pressures of becoming a professional model at such a young age, but when the moment of opportunity strikes life’s too short to be a dream killer, especially with a supportive family and highly professional agency supporting the

chance of a life time. Alex looks set to be a face with a big future, riding the waves

of competition and envy with professional support shows that at 13, you’re never too young to live your dreams.
