A trecut ceva timp de cand nu am mai scris, si asta pentru ca am fost complet prinsa de pregatirea colectiei de rochii de mireasa din acest sezon. Cu aceasta colectie ne vom prezenta la targul Bridal din Barcelona de la sfarsitul lunii, asa ca emotiile sunt mari, mari. Un targ unde vor merge atat firme din Romania, dar si brand-uri foarte cunoscute din alte tari. Concurenta va fi pe masura, mai ales ca unii dintre designeri merg la Barcelona de cativa ani. Pentru noi, va fi primul targ de rochii de mireasa la care vom participa, asa ca a fost vorba de multa, multa munca.
De la comenzile de materiale, la construirea tiparelor, la schimbari neincetate de design si broderia manuala de exceptie, intreaga echipa Cristallini a petrecut zile la rand ca sa fie totul gata la timp pentru sedinta foto care a avut loc marti. Dincolo de tensiunea acumulata aceste saptamani, nici prognoza meteo nu a fost un bun aliat.
Fiecare sedinta foto care are loc in exterior depinde nu doar de programul fotografului, a stilistilor sau a celor care se ocupa de make-up si par, dar si de vreme. Asa ca am schimbat data acesteia de cateva ori, in functie de ploile care se anuntau, de nori sau de temperaturile schimbatoare. Daca de fiecare data in ultimii ani alte persoane din echipa interna a firmei s-au ocupat de detaliile legate de shooting, de aceasta data am decis impreuna cu CEO-ul Cristallini sa facem totul ca la inceput, cand noi doua ne ocupam si de detaliile sedintelor foto.
Iata cateva imagini din primele sedinte foto Cristallini, care ne trezesc amintiri frumoase:
In viata este important sa nu uiti de unde ai pornit, asa ca amintirile inceputurilor Cristallini sunt cele mai dragi. Erau zile cand plecam de la atelier la 2 diminieata; erau seri la rand cand, dupa munca, ma plimbam cu Alina (CEO-ul Cristallini) pe cheiul Dambovitei, impreuna cu Gandhi, bulldog-ul francez si rasfatatul firmei, facand planuri de a ajunge la New York si Paris. Planuri care, pentru multi, pareau irealizabile.
De atunci au trecut 5 ani, si a venit ziua in care mergem constant la targuri la Paris. De luna aceasta, si la Barcelona. Intre timp, ne-am mutat pe Lascar Catargiu, intr-o cladire interbelica superba… totul pentru a incerca sa satisfacem nu numai dorinta noastra creativa, ci si asteptarile clientelor noastre. Asa ca evoluam, impreuna cu ele.
Anul acesta am ales sa facem sedinta foto intr-un cadru feeric, sperand sa surprindem frumusetea Romaniei, asa ca am ales un loc de vis, un loc in care te rupi de rutina cotidiana. Primavara este anotimpul meu preferat, anotimpul in care natura revine la viata, si copacii infloriti sunt atat de frumosi incat cazi prada contemplarii minute intregi, incercand sa imortalizezi peisajul in minte. Ceea ce este cadrul perfect pentru rochiile de mireasa atat de pure si elegante.
Sedinta era planificata in afara Bucurestiului, asa ca am programat cu toata lumea pentru vineri, cand prognoza arata soare. Dar apoi a aratat nori, asa ca am reprogramat-o pentru miercuri. Nici de aceasta data vreamea nu a ramas constanta, asa ca am mutat totul pentru marti, singura zi in care nu arata ploi. Impedimentele au fost multe: am schimbat locatia, asa ca a trebuit sa facem un contract contracronometru pentru noua locatie, modelul ales nu mai putea ajunge, hair-stilistul si make-up-ul nu mai puteau veni in acea zi, asa ca am ramas doar noi si fotograful.
In ultimul moment am stabilit pentru par si machiaj cu Javier. Desi nu am mai lucrat niciodata cu el, ne-am uitat pe portofoliul lui si am ramas placut impresionate de ceea ce facea, avand multa experienta la un nivel foarte inalt in Spania, si castigand doar in 3 luni petrecute in Romania premii deosebit de importante.
Alegerea cea mai grea a fost cea a modelului. Ne-am dorit mult o anumita tipologie de „mireasa”, asa ca am chemat zeci de fete la casting. Intr-un final, am cerut uneia dintre agentiile cu care colaboram sa ne trimita poze cu diverse fizionomii, pana am gasit ceea ce ne doream: am ales o figura naturala, cu ochii mari, albastri, buze groase, feminina si senzuala. Singura problema era ca, dintre toate modelele, ea nu putea ajunge la fitting, ceea ce este necesar. Daca modelului nu ii vin bine rochiile, se retuseaza inainte de sedinta pentru a arata perfect.
De aceasta data insa am riscat si am mers pe ceea ce am simtit. Am hotarat sa stabilim totul si sa speram ca in ziua sedintei nu vom fi dezamagite. Adevarul este ca in acest domeniu lucrurile nu sunt doar matematic stabilite, ci trebuie sa mergi si pe feeling, pe intuitie.
Ziua de marti a fost perfecta. Cu soare, dar fara sa fie foarte cald, deoarece adia vantul din cand in cand, ceea ce facea sa curga rochiile natural si diafan pe langa corp. Modelul era mult mai frumos in realitate decat in poze, iar rochiile i-au picat perfect. Erau ca si cum le-am facut pe silueta ei. Pe langa atitudinea ei profesionista, caci nu a lasat nicio secunda sa se vada oboseala in peste 8 ore de shooting, am ramas profund impresionata de faptul ca acum 3 ani isi achizitionase rochia pentru bal de la noi. Alesese Cristallini si acum Cristallini o alesese pe ea.
Chimia s-a simtit in toata echipa, inclusiv cu Javier, cu care am colaborat extraordinar de frumos si natural.
Cand arta cere sacrificii si mobilitate :)…
Situatiile neprevazute sunt cele mai amuzante si detensioneaza atmosfera. A trebuit sa asteptam circa 5 minute ca sa treaca toti copiii care erau impresionati de frumusetea ei, si se opreau sa ii spuna cu o deosebita sinceritate :
„- Domnisoara, sunteti foarte frumoasa!”
Din pacate este prea devreme ca sa pot pune imagini cu tot ce s-a intamplat la sedinta, dar voi reveni cu intreaga poveste imediat dupa lansarea completa a colectiei. Pana atunci, va asteptam cu drag in showroom-ul Cristallini pentru a proba colectia deja existenta de rochii de mireasa, sau pentru a crea impreuna modelul mult visat. XOXO
