Carpe Diem, Lmaltieri, Linea, etc.

[DHC]

From what I've heard from different sources is that Sara Lanzi, and then I guess either later or at the same time Marvie mainly worked on Linea. Of course Altieri controlled everything, but I always thought Amadei was basically just a guy who cut leather and had a couple of good ideas (wallets, bags) but most everything else was derived from Altieri's ideas.

Are you talking about the m.a+ line now?

[MASUGNEN]

What did Amadei do before collaborating with Altieri? His age obliges to previous commitments, at least makes previous projects possible. He must have been the alderman in Carpe diem.

Whereas now we easily talk about Altieri and Amadei in the same sentence, but back in the diem, Amadei was a guy that Altieri hired to cut leather. I'm also saying that obviously many ma+ designs are easily traced back to Carpe with some exceptions. And those ideas were Altieri's. Though what do I know...

He worked for Fendi making bags.

...plenty it seems.
That's kind of looking at one side of the coin. I believe that with his experience came invaluable insight.
And yes, there are ma+ designs that have roots in Carpe as do many other designers. Altieri has influenced many..some influenced heavier than others. We can see translations of Altieri's work in a broad scope, not limited to ma+.
What time zone are you in right now Mike?

[MASUGNEN]

Runner/Crouka puts is eloquently:


people are free to seize something there and make their own way.
but the relationship is not one-way.
without Luca, he would never have had such knitwear in the collection.
without Amadei, Sartoria etc would not have materialized.
and both LUC and ma+ certainly carry the genetic code from him, Luca and Amadei sublimating it.

Is that 6am eastern early or late?

Does that make sense? Oh man I should be sleeping.

[MikeN]

Late. I got home at 4:30am.

Okay, forgive my ignorance. Never heard of Mariavittoria Sargentini. Thank you for adding to my Perugian gallery.

Comparision to Marive Lab could be high-lightning to Carpe diem's miscarried womenswear. I like the video on Marie Lab's homepage. It shows women naturally dress in good-looking, basic clothes. Their comfort enhance their beauty. I see more constraints in the female Carpe diem outfits posted here and posed otherwhere.

Perhaps Altieri isn't gay enough to design good womenswear.

You had me until that last sentence.
