Five Ecuadorian designers inspired by the most recent paintings of the Guayaquil painter Christian Cruz captured their designs with metallic colors, fluorescent and neon in Fashion Art, last Saturday 8, in the agora of the linear park facing the Catholic University.
The Next Models Ecuador modeling school, in Kennedy north, was the organizer of the event. "The concept emerged as an effort to alter the banal concept that most people have about modeling," says Edson Parreño, director of the school.
"This profession encompasses many skills because in how of walking and the expression of the face area emotions are projected as in the theater; the face area becomes a material during the time of creating the models, as if it were a painting, that's why it should be thought about art," he says.
The designers who participated in this catwalk were: Ana Belén Menéndez, who had been inspired by the painting Nocturno Placer for her creations; the Colombian Adriana Torres, with the painting Creation; María Leonor Vera, with Gama celestial; Álex Gaibor (designer of accessories), with the job En lo alto, and fifteen novice designers of the Tecnológico Sudamericano (TECSU) with the painting Escalones Alfaro.
The painter's paintings were projected on giant screens throughout the event. "Christian was chosen because through his abstract art, he captures the feelings of every day life," says Edson.
The modeling school organizes these parades, with free admission, so that people can get to learn Ecuadorian. "This is how we donate to the local industry," Edson says. In addition to the parade there is violin music to accompany the catwalk, along with the Guayaquil group Melivia, with Latin rock. The Ars Nova school showed a theater number; Jimmy Mendoza's group and the YoDance academy performed dance.
At the conclusion there is a raffle for make-up courses; ten individuals from the audience won. On September 28 the institution will organize the Guayaquil fashion, with local designers, in the zigzag bridge of the Malecón del Salado.
