'wait' Paris show video by Kris Dionisio

.

Many thanks to Ahimsa, Faust and SZ for Matthew Reeves runway coverage on SZ-mag (see seasonal collection threads). 'wait' has been one of our most successful collections in Paris to date, setting new records for both press coverage and women's spring/summer season order bookings for a single collection. Against all odds in an industry with a Paris Fashion Week now totally dominated and rigged by LVMH, Kering and a slew of other financial groups and deal-players who seek to imitate them, a tiny truly independent, truly artisanal designer firm continues to express its art, produce and distribute its work to the best clients in the world, and grow at annual rate of 25-30 percent over the past 11 years with no outside financing. And the fact that this is also happening in women's as well men's collection work now is even more remarkable for an independent firm.


And when I say "independent," I mean really independent. Just about every designer doing Paris runway nowadays is working under somebody else's thumb: somebody who owns their brand and name's production, distribution and financing--and in the end calls the shots, perhaps maybe allowing the "designer" the chance at least to take care of the "fluff"… that being their fashion shows and some aspects of image. But, when over 90 percent of a runway show has nothing to do with what is going to be produced and put in the stores or online--that says a lot about what is going on behind the hype. Unfortunately, all too many design and fashion observers and customers fall prey to this hype. And the hype is making far too many actors and "personalities" into perceived designers and artists nowadays at the expense of the few real practitioners who are still fighting for their existence, their work, and their access to the public consciousness at large.

On that note, we are extremely grateful and pleased to be able to extend our warmest welcome to you in viewing 'wait' our 105th, and our most ambitious Paris collection presentation to date via the new video shot and produced by Kris Dionisio in Paris. "wait" is about this summer's all-time global warming milestones, the realization by humanity that we are beyond the point of no return regarding planetary climate change and its consequences, and the terrifying new "microburst" storm systems that are a direct result of this phenomena. The microburst storm's easily recognizable visual form resembles a nuclear bomb explosion and serves as the basis of a new overall shape and silhouette of the collection which we are experimenting with, developing, and proposing as part of a comprehensive effort to determine how clothing design needs to adapt and modify itself to protect and serve our women customers now and in the years ahead. We believe it was one of the most directional, commercially-smart and exclusive women's clothing collections during a historical Paris Fashion Week seemingly dominated by global corporate luxury fashion horse races and attempts for hegemony. And most importantly, the only one directly dealing with the stunning new realities of this rapidly changing world and environment of global warming going out of control.


As always, with many thanks to everyone who has helped us to get this far.
Best wishes,

Geoffrey & the team

Thank you so much Ahimsa, Faust, Matthew Reeves and SZ-mag for the beautiful editorial piece from Paris. It's been a record season for our firm and our workrooms here at Cavarzere Venezia. The remarkable growth and demand for our works has reached almost one million euro at wholesale for a single season and has pushed our firm to expand to over 30 people working at Cavarzere- and reach unprecedented levels of artisanal creation and organizational development that we believe is setting a new model for the industry. With very little time to devote to any posting online over the past few months, we briefly share a few images of some pieces that have been a part of this record extreme handmade technology and artisanal production season. With many thanks to everyone who have helped us to get this far. Geoffrey & the team

Created exclusively for Hues in Fukuoka Japan and individually hand dyed in our studios with our extreme handwork artistic technique code-named “accident dye” which took over 2 days to reach the precise final mottled patina color and effect for each piece.


























While some of our designer colleagues are now suddenly “discovering” historical tailoring pieces as inspiration
for their “next” collection, we have been developing, showing and creating them already for our clients now for
over a decade. Example: the exquisite GRWS01 1800’s pleated neckline prairie shirt that combines all its bodice
volume right up into the neckline, stunningly and flawlessly executed by hand in pure Como silk raso satin floral

Images of visit this month by Claudio & Cinzia Fontana to the GBS Via Spalato Sartoria Workrooms at Cavarzere Venezia celebrating over twelve years of collaboration on our Paris collections and development of the new autumn/winter 2019 collection buttons to be presented in January. Like our own firm, the Fontana 'botonificio' unquestionably stands alone in the industry, both in creativity and material excellence, as the best button maker in the world today. Below a selection of the incredible buttons in real horn and mother-of-pearl created by Fontana and used in our production of the AW2018 production order delivery for Eth0s in Shanghai...

FROM the signing of the pieces, to the type of retailer you will find our work in, to the extreme hand-making and creation technologies we use day and night to build the most labor- and time-intensive designer clothes collection on the market today, everything we do is based upon bringing the value of the intelligent human being back into the clothing experience in a very big and bold way. Continuous record investments in personnel, equipment, training & development, and workroom space improvements and capacities have brought the firm now to over 30 employees (a 30 percent increase over 2017 staff size), and dealer order production levels reaching new records: 1,515 GBS handmade pieces for spring/summer 2018 deliveries, and 1,606 pieces for autumn/winter 2018 deliveries, which are now being completed right up until year-end. This year, not including the four Paris prototype collections which are also created in-house by the same people- over 3,100 individually produced GBS pieces (with an average requirement of some fifty total hours of work to complete each one), have been produced and delivered from our workrooms at Cavarzere Venezia, marking an incredible 27 percent increase over 2017. As a result of this super-human effort and performance, our entire organization has been stretched to the limit-- and due to the continuous growing worldwide demand for our collection pieces, and the extreme amounts of unique artisanal and specialized artistic work and materials required to create each one- we inform SZ readers currently, that our firm is being forced to revise its current distribution situation, and to consider a significant reduction in the number of dealers who will be allowed to purchase and distribute Geoffrey B. Small in the upcoming 2019-2020 seasons.

Midnight in the main Sartoria workroom at Via Spalato in Cavarzere Venezia,
where this year over 3,000 hand built GBS production pieces for the world and no less than four
cutting-edge Paris Prototype collections involving over four hundred all-new research
design pieces were created and made by the GBS Sartoria team.

IN A DAY when DJ's, TV actresses and celebrities pose as designers, and plasticized t-shirts and hoodies made in slavery mass-production factories are being passed as luxury clothing to a generation of consumers who know nothing better than what their corporate-fashion-sponsored screens want them to know-- it remains more than ever, our position that our extreme levels of quality, hand made technology, and artistic design must never be compromised. So, while we are making every effort in both human and economic resources to build our creative capacities, there is a limit to those capacities, and we will be required to make some difficult choices and decisions as a result-- regarding how many dealers, and which dealers, we will be able to serve in the current seasons ahead. The worldwide growth in demand for our work as well as the growing uncertainties regarding geo-political and global trade issues, also comes with a growth in the levels of service, selection, knowledge, commitment and investment required on the part of each and every dealer in our network not just to uphold, but rather, to increase the standards of service, image, and operational excellence required to cultivate and continue to earn the loyalty and continuing patronage of the most discerning and highest-value conscious clientele in the business today. These requirements, and how we feel they are being met by each one of our current dealers are being reviewed across our entire dealership network and will form the basis of our distribution decisions for the current seasons ahead. I truly hope some of you might understand why I believe the thirty persons with whom I have the honor and privilege to work with, make up perhaps the greatest tailoring and handmade design operation in the world today, and why more than ever, their work and their unique value, needs to be respected, appreciated and handled, accordingly. With many thanks to each member of our team, and each of the clients and customers around the world who have continued to support our work and our efforts in this tremendous year of growth and challenge... I thank you from my heart, and look forward to working even harder in the year ahead on building the dream of continuing to elevate the art and the science of making clothes with human hands and human minds.


Best wishes,


Geoffrey

Fighting the battle for truth in ‘sustainable’ and ethical design


FOR DECADES we have been building a new model for the design and clothing industry based upon the human being, ethical production and environ-mental sustainability and safety. But today, the word 'sustainable' in fashion and textiles is becoming more than just a lie or a coverup. When we hear the word 'sustainable fashion' now and who is using it to describe their practices, we are appalled by their lies, and terrified at their ability to continue to sell and operate by wreaking destruction and misery on the entire world's population at all levels. More than ever, we view our competitive role in the marketplace as one for survival, both in economic and in biological terms. At the end of 2018, our goal to eliminate every molecule of plastic petrochemical material from our clothing came ever closer to reality. After a long and challenging discourse, we were able to convince and develop perhaps the first non-polyester all-natural yarn garment label to be used in the entire designer market today with the leading label-producer for the global luxury industry, Mion Spa in the Euganean hill town of Torreglia Italy. The pure silk beautifully crafted label currently costs our firm about 25 times more than its polyester counterpart, but feels so superior against the skin and continues the supreme mission to try to begin to reverse the insidious microfibre-plastic contamination of the entire world's sea and drinking water by the garment & textile industry that continues to be greenwashed and hushed over by everyone in the game. It is also one of the most beautiful labels seen in ages. And also this year, with the growth of our organization and the incredibly brilliant and dedicated people who are joining it… the firm is now working to also eliminate the last remaining commercial chemical composition dyes from its hand dyeing operations under the research efforts of David Wild, a graduate of Cornell University's design program with special emphasis in sustainable textiles, to develop fully natural compound dye technologies for the firm's cutting-edge handmade clothes production and design. The first techniques using wood, nuts, berry, metal and mud-based recipes and compounds will be introduced to the world press and buyers in Paris, along with the stunning new label next week...

[Mojo1990]

Dear Geoffrey, I always enjoy reading your contributions and updates. It's very therapeutic! I'm reminded that there are people at the very top of their endeavours who genuinely care for the wellbeing of this beautiful Planet. I have noticed over the last year a noticeable rise in awareness for micro plastic contamination and a renewed interest in ethical consumer choices. What makes me worried is the large backlash from corporations (lobbying power) that use poverty as a pretext to renew harmful practises (like in America with fossil fuels).

About The Onion.

Geoffrey B. Small men's autumn/winter mmxix
Paris collection presentation

FOLLOWING our last post, we are extremely grateful and pleased to be able to announce our 106th, and our most ambitious, Paris collection presentation to date. "The Onion" will be a live theatre performance in Russian language and presentation for the very first time in the western world of a selected piece from Fyodor Dostoevsky's legendary novel "The Brothers Karamazov" directed by Brad Sisk and starring Tatiana Anisimova, Graham Newmarch, Sergei Vankevich and Anastasia Glushkova. Continuing our leading work in elevating the art of fashion and presentation in Paris. "The Onion" follows the ground-breaking presentations of works by Samuel Beckett ("Come and Go") and William Shakespeare ("Get Ready"), and marks our third live-theater defile presentation in Paris in less than 2 years...











DOSTOEVSKY is an all-time giant not only in literature, but also in philosophy and psychology, influencing everyone from Einstein to Freud, Kafka, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Camus, Sartre, Joyce, Huxley, Maugham, Chekhov, Solzhenitsyn, Hesse, Woolf and Hemingway. And while he wrote 11 novels in his lifetime including Crime and Punishment and The Idiot, The Brothers Karamazov is his ultimate masterpiece. At nearly 800 pages, it is Dostoevsky's largest work, it received both critical and popular acclaim and is often cited as his magnum opus. First published as a serial from January 1879 to November 1880, Dostoevsky spent nearly two years writing the book, and died less than four months after its publication. Since then, it has been acclaimed as one of the supreme achievements in world literature and translated into 170 languages.









"THE Onion" explores a small piece of the story when a colleague in the monastery of the novice priest Alyosha Karamazov named Rakitin, uses Alyosha's vulnerability to set up a meeting between him and Grushenka, who is about to leave in haste to meet a long-lost lover. However, instead of Alyosha becoming corrupted, he is able to earn fresh faith and hope from Grushenka, while Grushenka's troubled mind begins the path of spiritual redemption through his influence. In the meeting, she recalls and recites the story of a woman in hell who is given a chance to escape and be pulled up to heaven by reaching for and grabbing an onion that God has offered to her on a cord that he is holding above her in paradise. As she grabs the onion and slowly is raised up from the infernal fires of hell, other souls in hell begin to grab and hold onto to her body, legs and feet in an attempt to also rise out of the fire with her. As more clamor to hold onto her, she loses her composure and her faith, and driven by fear begins to kick and push off the other sinner souls who one by one as a result of her blows, fall back into the fires of hell. Upon seeing the woman's selfish behavior, God becomes angered and quickly throws the cord, the onion and the woman right back down into hell with all the souls she had just pushed down into hell to save herself.

We believe the story of the onion is pertinent in our own time, as a global ruling corporate and political class (including fashion), continues to operate in making an increasingly unstable and unsustainable world as if they alone will be able to get away with and survive from the catastrophe that their decisions, actions and interests are creating, and that all they need to do is grab the onion on the cord from above and they will be saved by kicking the rest of humanity off their legs and down into the depths of hell, misery and apocalypse. Dostoevsky wisely suggests that there may be another plan for those who intend to grab the onion of salvation just for themselves.

Like all our collections, "the onion" is dedicated to all humanity in the world today, to the value of the human being, and the belief that if we work together and build real community in this world, we can not only survive the mess that we all face, but grow into a new dimension of prosperity and balance.

We will also dedicate this collection and its presentation to the great textile master Giuseppe "Pino" Colombo who passed away on January 3rd, 2019 and to his family, whose magnificent hand woven fabrics and genius have graced our collections over the years, including the one we are presenting this evening. Further testament that great art is the product of great human beings working together. grazie Pino.

Thank you Geoffrey for dedicating your collection to our father Pino, he would be proud of that. He ever said...."Geoffrey is a genius and his collections are allways so innovatives!". He has been a good teacher for us and signed us the right way.

We'll bring to Paris his energy in march.
