Part 1 (Angielski version below!)
DAY 1: Lecture Natalia Jaroszewska which ultimately failed. all the time I feel sad and disappointed after the defeat of the workshop, so I decide to poszwendać the positions and watching elect happy as he goes. designed to take out my camera blog, but the bodyguard pacifies me asking for permission to photograph. at least it looks so scary, like the Kalash zasadzała the same Grazyna. Iron Curtain for the first time. So I decide to go to the seance Art & Fashion in Motion, thinking that lecture prof. Hendrykowaskiego (incidentally, my master's promoter, sensational and charismatic man), improve my mood. Unfortunately, it appears that the tickets ran out before midday. Iron Curtain for the second time. I'm going home, because even with all this shopping I already lost interest.
Day 2: Lecture by Monika Jakubiak British gentleman goes sports. after the first few sentences, take out my notebook and pen, because it promises to be so interesting that I do not want to miss a word. designer with a slight accent, tells about his experience and practice gained in the UK, and sometimes it is easier to find English words than our home. there is no pretense in this, however, and stardom. I like the strong separation of tailoring (tailoring) and design (designing). I learn that the luxury establishments Tailors Savile Row acting according to the tradition of bespoke tailoring employ a person responsible for every single stage of sewing the suit: a person for processing the material, krojczego, a person who sews for a suit fitting, a person who forms the horsehair, the person who sews tailored suit , person to machine holes, etc., etc. there are names: Timothy Everest , Paul Smith and Peter Saville and history projects Umbro jerseys for the national team of England. at the end of the lecture all overwhelmed by nostalgia for the old good, professional tailoring and a few people in the audience rightly notes that in a few years we will have in Poland, with whom to shorten the skirt, because there are no teachers and experts in the profession, and the only available dressmaker, this lady Kazia, an acquaintance of a neighbor aunt Zdzisio, which holds the machine back to the time of PRL and leeched the hours spent at the box office in Biedronka. suddenly reminds me that my grandfather was a tailor. has been dead for many years, so I never thought about it in terms of fashion. but he was. I remember the old, pre-war iron with a soul so heavy that a little girl I could not carry it. Singer remember wystukującego monotonous rhythm. I remember patterns coats and bags and the smell of leather in the studio. next visit with their grandmother necessarily have to dig up some old photos and tailoring gadgets. is totally touching, but still do not understand what the relationship is that of a successful and interesting lecture on the topic. If only the Umbro shirts?
PS after yesterday's Open University (it's open? Seriously?) Is not wydaje mi się, żebym miała ochotę jeszcze kiedykolwiek uczestniczyć w wykładach.

english version
Joanna Bojańczyk lecturing within Art & Fashion Festival at Stary Browar said that the real fashion review doesn't exist these days. just try to write a non-wow (not to mention objective) essay and you can be sure you won't be invited to this particular designer's fashion show or event ever again. well, i am a free woman, advertisers don't push me yet and i haven't been accepted for the fashion writing workshops anyway so i have nothing to loose and i'm free to express my opinion with absolutely NO SUGAR COAT (which is consistent to my malicious nature so to speak :P).
DAY 1: Natalia Jaroszewska - the lecture i eventually skipped. feeling sad and disappointed after the failure i decided to look around and see how the lucky people who managed to get in are doing. i took my camera thinking that i will show you some photos here but a bodyguard got me. he looked so threatening as if i my camera was a gun pointed at Grażyna Kulczyk herself (the owner of Stary Browar). iron curtain for the first time. i thought that Art & Fashion in Motion can make me a little happier because profesor Hendrykowaski was supposed to give a speach before the movie (he was my promotor while i was defending my MA thesis, very wise and charismatic man) but it turned out that there are no tickets left. they were given away yet before noon. iron curtain for the second time. i went home. after what happened i wasn't even in the mood for shopping.
DAY 2: Monika Jakubiak's lecture: British gentleman goes sporty . i pull my pen and a notebook out of the bag after fist few sentences because it sounds so interesting i don't want to miss a thing. the designer is speaking in Polish with a British accent because she has spent a huge part of her life in GB and sometimes it's easier for her to use an english word instead of polish to name something. there is nothing pretentious about that though. i like the idea of separating tailoring and designing she is talking about. i get to know about Savile Row and bespoke tailoring and that there are different people taking care about different stages of creating perfect custom suit such as: a guy who prepares the textile, a guy who cuts the textile, a guy who sews the parts of the suit for the first fitting, a guy who shapes horsehair for padding, a guy who laces the wholes for buttons and so on. Jakubiak mentions about Timothy Everest , Paul Smith i Peter Saville and the story about designing England football team home shirts for Umbro.
in the end the whole audience is talking nostalgically about old good tailoring. we don't have it now in Poland. there are barely few tailors and they don't want any students so there is a chance that in few years we won't have anyone able to make a suit. and in that precise moment i remember that my grandpa was a tailor. he died so long ago i totally forgot about it. but he was. he had that very old pre-war box iron which was so heavy i couldn't lift it up when i was a little girl. i remember the monotonous rhythm of his Singer, patterns of coats and purses and the smell of leather in his atelier. i definitely have to find some old photos and tailor gadgets next time i visit my grandma. i love that nostalgic feeling i have i just don't get what's the connection between the lecture and its subject. the Umbro shirts only?
PS after what happened yesterday i don't really feel like attending Art & Fashion Open University ever again (oh it's open? seriously?)
