Sy&Vie at Satisfashion Paris

Sy&Vie is selected with 10 other fashion brands to walk the Satisfashion show during Paris Fashion Week.

The Always Support Talent project was founded by Flávia Cannata in 2017, focused on supporting and presenting new talents in the fashion industry such as designers, photographers, stylists and makeup artists through fashion events and editorials.

On March 6th, the Satisfashion collective show, presented by Always Support Talent, will take place at the American Cathedral Paris (France) and selects 11 brands for the catwalks. Among them, the handbag brand Sy&Vie, the only Brazilian brand present at the event.

“Unique handmade bags, inspired by nature. We started in 2014 with many ideas and a compelling purpose: to reconnect with nature.

The beauty of nature is captivating, it inspires us. We use age-old handicraft techniques to recreate it, always with a modern, colorful look and a taste of our Brazilian spirit.

Here are some of our techniques: Woodcarving, Wood inlay, Assemblage.

At the head of this brand is Sylvie Quartara, an extraordinary craftswoman, with more than 20 years of experience producing home and fashion accessories both in Brazil and in the main fashion centers of the world, such as Milan, London and Paris.”

She signs all her creations as Sy & Vie, based on her passion for ancestral heritage techniques and timeless inspiration from nature. Its first bags were made of inlaid wood in 2014, a technique that was unprecedented in Brazil at the time. In 2018 she was ready to take it a step further through her coined signature technique “Assemblage”, working with forgotten fragments of nature. This innovative technique took over a year to develop and refine, once again offering a fresh perspective on fashion.

ANK Jewellery by New York Weekly

Ana Ferrari to exhibit her brand ANK Jewellery at The Museum of Arts and Design in New York

Art has got an in-depth historical significance in the field of design. Especially, the artwork and creations in jewellery design are rooted in history. Representing physical and spiritual experiences through art, Ana Ferrari has earned a reputation for being one of the finest sculptors and jewellery designers. The artist and designer is the creative director at  ANK Jewellery, an artistic space representing sculptural jewellery.

Ana’s passion for becoming an artist goes back to her graduation days when she was pursuing Business Administration and Fashion Designing.  However, she had a creative flair for designing jewellery pieces having an ancestral legacy as she understands beauty in symbology rather than only in form. Leading by her enormous curiosity and profound questions about humanity, Ana Ferrari has explored five continents to find the perfect gems, metals, stories and cultures.

While her designs and sculptures depict spiritual growth, she studied the crystalline systems of different gems in Brazil, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Nepal. Having visited the biggest fairs in Hong Kong and Tucson, she has monitored the extraction of gold in Oman, witnessed the mining of tanzanite in Africa and perfected her artistic skills in Italy, Germany, Austria and England among others.

With the global exposure Ana Ferrari holds with her work, she will represent ANK Jewellery at The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York. The exhibition will bring acclaimed artists from across the globe under one roof. 

“Fine art jewellery is at the very heart of MAD’s history, permanent collection, and future,” said Tim Rodgers, MAD’s Director. “Aligning our RE:FINE store event with our exhibition, Jewelry Stories, helps our supporters recognize this fact and encourages them to curate their own jewellery collection made by some of the most acclaimed artists working today.”

In addition, The Museum of Arts and Design is by far one of the most desirable shopping destinations in New York. 

“It’s a chance for the MAD community to interact with and invest in fine jewellery artists who are redefining the modern heirloom,”  said Sathya Balakumar, the Director of Merchandising. 

Founded in 1956 by Aileen Osborn Webb, MAD celebrates the creativity of contemporary jewellery design, and the exhibitions promote rich cultures and traditions. 

Speaking about exhibiting ANK Jewellery on an international scale, Ferrari said, “MAD curatorial and heritage interested for the most relevant jewellery in history is remarkable and I feel honoured to showcase my artwork there.” A majority of jewellery designs at ANK Jewellery celebrate the rich diversity of cultures in the world. 

Earlier this year, Ana Ferrari had an opportunity to represent Brazil globally. The prolific artist exhibited her sculpture called ‘Wind’ at the 59th Venice Art Biennale which began on April 23, 2022. The sculpture explains the meaning of wind in the creative context and was developed during her artistic residency at the Azulik City of Arts – Uhmay, Mexico.

ABEST supports the 4th edition of the Brasil Criativo Award

On the eve of São Paulo’s birthday (January 24), the 4th edition of the Brasil Criativo Prize took place at the Centro Cultural de São Paulo, an official award for the Brazilian Creative Economy, presented by 3M and supported by the Ministry of Culture and Abest.

The event idealized by Lucas Foster was attended by the finalists and professionals from each area, concerts by the Bloco Afro IIu Oba de Min and by the singer, actress and indigenous activist Kaê Guajarara, in addition to the exhibition of the Fashion Sampa Program (partnership with SPFW and Casa de Criadores).

The pieces exhibited by Fashion Sampa were made by women from Cidade Tiradentes (existing wave or the largest residential complex in Latin America) and Brasilândia, due to neighborhoods related to a high rate of femicide in São Paulo. In pursuit of productivity in the labor market and income generation, 32 pieces were produced that resonated around the world due to their visibility in the closing parades of the last SPFW in November, highlighting the great professionals and creators in the communities.

Among the pieces, a versatile cover that can be transformed and several other pieces, has origins such as pillows, customized blouses and revisited personal pieces, reusing textile waste. The print on this work expresses regionality, diversity, gender relations and life, made together by several different creative hands.

Who took the prize of the night in the Fashion category was Marca Foz (São Paulo, SP), which was a finalist alongside Estamparia Artesanal (Barra Mansa, RJ) and Oyá Criativa (Salvador, BA).
