Rudy Wolff: December 2009

12/26/09

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

The interesting opportunity mentioned a couple of weeks ago was rejected by me this time, preferring to have a show at this oversea venue another time instead. - A disease gotten in India has stolen a lot of "Imperivm" sewing time, thus arranging a somewhat smaller, but very stylish show in Norway in February instead. However, no less than three cool Imperivm garments were started yesterday, in between all the Christmas gluttony. Below is the India International Fashion Week finale sneak peak Imperivm outfit:

"Merry Christmas from Rudy Wolff".

New excitement

Today, that is to say yesterday, interesting doors of oppurtunity opened when it comes to the fashion week in February. This made me so excited that I immediately and despite being ill, continued on a jacket that combines the eco-friendliness of redesign with the intricate details of couture. Compare it with transforming a boring, but rather well designed brick building into an ornate Tudor house ... Well, a completely monochrome Tudor House that would be (no shades).

Obama steals all the attention today

These days before Christmas I am only resting and digesting all the impressions from India. However, with police helicopters all over the city and long motorcades there is more excitement than rest this place.

The process of evaluating OIIFW has also started, combined with planning the sites of future fashion shows. The "Imperivm" collection, that one also could see some extracts from in Gurgaon on Saturday will be initiated next week.

Back from India!

This truly was a few of the most adventurous days of my life! After a long Aeroflot flight from snowy Norway via rainy Moscow, I was picked up at Indira Ghandi airport in hot India by a fashion week-dedicated driver, Peter, who transported me to Crowne Plaza hotel in "India´s Silicon Valley", Gurgaon. What a hotel! With 20 metres tall ceilings in the reception area, a wonderful buffet and out of this world service, I had an excellent stay there. Truly recommendable!

After my arrival on Friday, I made the garments ready for exposure, slept deeply due to jetlag and watched Monica Paracha´s and Mustafa Hassanali´s shows. The first displayed regional maximalism at its best, while the latter combines African aesthetics with the modern and showed a very sensual collection:

Saturday I was very nervous, as my show was between two stars: Israel design school talent Chen Cohen and Andres Aquino, head of the New York Haute Couture Week. Here are some backstage photos:
