PHOTOGRAPHY
Chiara Glionna Hi, I'm Chiara Glionna, self-taught fashion photographer from Milan. I love working as a photographer in fashion because I have a lot of things to say and I understood that through fashion, which is also my passion, I could try to sensitize society to freedom because I think that social media ruined our lives and we have to stop being controlled by the fake beauty standards we see everyday there. So, I'm using my art to change that. My aesthetic is based on a state of melancholy that is what i see in my generation. Loving our self is the most rebellious act we can do today and I have always been a rebel!

Painting is my passion and favorite pastime. Self taught, I believe art is a wonderful medium of self expression. I paint a wide range of objects from still life to landscapes to objects out of fantasy and imagination. Self taught, I have taken to art full time since 2010.

in what I do and a great connection with each context i work and research in. My current work focuses on the deconstruction of dogmas, questioning the existence of how we live in our society. I re-create departure platforms for new ways of thinking. My work relies on intuition and flexibility adapting itself in every situation, that also when I decide to use a certain media in a particular project, I tend to go for the most communicative and and more direct way to touch the audience/viewer. As I believe us as human beings are just at the start of unfolding our true potential, I use my work as a tool to envision how would be the world with a different and positive state of mind.

ILLUSTRATOR
Roque Martin Saaverda I’m a freelance illustrator who is originally from Argentina but is currently living in Washington DC. My work consists of illustrations and site-specific paper illustrations for window displays and events. I find inspiration for my work in many things, but daily interactions, popular culture and current events spark my interest the most. Since I am quite new to illustration, I do not have a vendor yet to provide for my prints. Interested parties could contact me directly. These illustrations were born from my interest in the daily life of the city. In the case of “Farmer’s Market” I tried to capture the interactions between people and produce. In the other two illustrations, I wanted to reflect on the passing of time in the metro.

I’ve been so honored to be hired as a Stylist for all of the major award shows for the last 5 years as a fashion contributor for E! Entertainment and NBC. Being involved in projects of this nature is both exhilarating and pressure-inducing as the coverage is viewed by over 100 million people in 130+ countries on a network the predominates as a cultural influencer and style innovator. The need to be spot on in my creative process is at an all time high. My job is to look at films, current culture, designer collections and celebrities to put together an assessment of the largest trends dictating the world of fashion and how they tie into a given awards show. For the Grammys in 2017 for example, I styled a segment that looked at Prince’s influence on fashion following his death and how current day designers are paying homage to him in their collections.

Two years ago at the Emmy Awards I put together an analysis of the most notable trends that easily transition from casual wear to red carpet, and how celebrities use looks like statement sleeves for example, to give their awards season ensemble a relevant feel. Because this work is for an at-home viewer, it needs to feel applicable not only on a red carpet but also to an everyday person, so I’m constantly looking to show my work in a way that everyone can relate to and appreciate. I also like to draw inspiration from what’s currently happening in fashion while also looking forward at what is to come, to ensure the content we’re creating is innovative enough for such a large and predominant television network.

This opportunity was first presented to me when the network determined that adding more fashion content to their red carpet coverage was something their viewers were asking for. A producer I had previously worked with recommended me for the job and submitted my portfolio to the executive team at NBC. I was considered along side several other very talented Stylists and ended up securing the position once I demonstrated what my ideas for the show looked like. Since starting with the network in 2015, I have been asked back every year to lead these projects and push the boundaries for what the team can create for the forward thinking E! viewer. Executing a project of this nature takes intense planning, researching, and behind the scenes
predicting what we will see during the current award season. I’ll also consider big fashion moments in film and music throughout the year, and ways we can adopt this to make it applicable and create an interesting story for the audience. Once concepts are finalized, I reach out to designers all over the world to bring in samples to be considered for each look. After a grueling fitting process with models and network executives, we determine the strongest options to feature on the show. The final step is briefing the on air hosts (often Kristin Cavallari, Brad Groeski, Kris Jenner, Jeannie Mai) on some talking points about each look, who the designers we’re showcasing are, and why the outfits being featured are relevant and noteworthy.
