As the designer says, “A life of art and creativity opens to doors to opportunity, hope, and possibility beyond what seems immediately apparent.”īottega Veneta experienced a major resurgence in 2018, when the former creative director Daniel Lee came on board-turning the storied Italian label into a must-have, buzzy brand worn by just about every star of the moment. Clair, like many others, is in awe of the Ailey theatre, their work, and particularly their outreach to young people who otherwise would have limited exposure to the arts. The portraits will be posted throughout New York City in conjunction with a December homecoming engagement and will continue to follow the company’s 2022 national tour. Clair commissioned the photographer, Sharif Hamza, to create compelling portraits of three company dancers wearing her iconic Rock Crystal Amulet.
To honor the moment, the designer has partnered with a fixture of the American dance scene, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. Naturally, they were thrilled when dancers were able to return to the stage this year. Clair and her family are passionate supporters of the arts, specifically dance (St Clair’s husband is a former modern dancer himself). “These clothes need to be able to be crawled in, puked on, washed many, many times, and passed on to other siblings or friends.” Just in time for the holidays, you can find the perfect gift for the coolest of young-ins in your life at and Bambino partner. “Making a garment that someone will wear while they’re learning to walk is very different from making a garment that someone can go out dancing in,” she continued.
It’s hardly the first time the designers have embraced the youngest of generations their spring 2018 showing, for example, memorably featured the artist Maia Ruth Lee’s baby bump and a live soundtrack from a “ baby orchestra.” (And, as is usually the case, there were tots sitting on their parents’ laps in the front row.) For Eckhaus and Latta, the line is a longtime dream come true-especially since Latta’s child Joy “became a thing,” as Latta put it in a press release. Eckhaus Latta Bambino, which launched on December 7, ranges in size from just 0 months to 5 toddler. Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta have followed in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s footsteps at The Row by introducing a children’s line.
