LAURA PELLATI OR ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS A PURER AND PURER DESIGN RESEARCH
As she follows up her feelings and elaborates spurs coming from a moving
world, th estylist draws her bag collection giving a strong value, a free
style but always up to contemporary taste. Laura Pellati can be called
as a pure and simple creative, able to catch with an extraordinary sensitiveness
the thousand aspect and shades of a daily routine. Laura Pellati always
pays very great attention to the different characters of womwn going around
the streets of the world : a classy and refined woman,a student living
her time following rhythms and vitality of the street.....everythineg
is carefuly observed and studied by the stylist. The world is a bottomless
pit of information that Laura Pellati not only gathers with that particular
insight that all recognize; what makes specialher job is the skill of
breaking down and interpret in a new way shapes, colours, volumes and
proportions, so to propose something innovative,but, anyway, already known.
The bag by Laura Pellati is an element with a strong symbolic value: it
is a container of dreams and hopes, plans and important actions. A unique
element, the bag, as unique are the different moment of human like. For
this reason the stylist considers the bag as an article that has a precise
identity and story.

Interview
to LAURA  |
|
| An
anthusiasm for fashion and accessories , burning curiosity and a strong
,enterprising spirit are what it takes to be successful in the fashion world.We
interviewed Laura Pellati on behalf of our readers. This is her story. "
I live and work at Florence but in actual fact I could be anywhere. The
inspiration for my bag designs comes from what I see and feel in the streets:
fromthe punk girl to the well-to-do woman , every female has a different
way of projecting herself trhought the clothes and objects that she wears.
Intimacy and social context create fashion ,and this is where my collection
stars, trought the observation of the different trends that are fused together
by my own personalemotions. Every collection enhancesmy personaldevelopment,enabling
me to acquire an increased sensitivity towards everything that surrounds
me. Everything becomes fashion for an observing eye if it knows how to observe.
Whilst a garment changes according to the wearer , a bag remains an independent
object. I regard the bag as a container of ideas when I go in the search
of new materials,and as a container of projects when I use it in holiday.
The bag is synonymous with frredom,travel and departures for new places.
My journeys have inspired the shape of my favourite bag - the Pagoda shape
- which is dedicated to Oriental culture and to a market that has been faithful
to my work for years. When I visited the Far East I was struck by the concept
of " rebuilding" . Japanese temples are constructed in wood because they
are continuously destroyed by natural calamities, and they are always rebuilt
on the ashes of their precursors. I was fascinated by the continuous of
new buildings on top of the old ones. In the same way , every six months
I designed newbags using my past experience as their base,and this process
constitutes my success" |
