It does not happen often that America turns out a fashion talent with all the right european flavours, yet The American designer Tim Hamilton appears to be the man of the moment, breaking old habits and making new rules.
Although predominantly a menswear designer, first showing in 2007, he manages to cross the barrier from menswear to womenswear with ease and elegance, leaving no trace of style confusion, his message is clear direct and precise and without ambiguity.
Shortly after launching his women’s wear Hamilton decided to do his first men’s wear show in Paris in June 2009. As history goes, oddly enough Tim Hamilton is the first American based designer to show during Paris Men’s Fashion week.

He presented a stunning eccentric space inspired S/S ’10 collection at the Palais Brogniart, sending his models down the runway emanating an airy feel of transparency. Despite this sudden relocation to Paris, Tim Hamilton is going to keep a presence in New York.
Tim Hamilton is stocked in luxury shops around the world, despite his global success

his business still today remains a small indepently run and funded operation with offices in New York and Paris.
Men's Collection
In men’s wear, Hamilton continues to blur the line between abstract design and fine craftsmanship. He mixes innovative ornamental details and geometric elements with functional simplicity and authentic craft production.
This leads to his street-wear meets tailoring look.
Women's Collection
Alongside men’s wear, Tim Hamilton launched his first women’s collection for the A/W ’09 season. The collection was shown during Paris Fashion Week in March 2009. The Tim Hamilton woman has a strong character. “She knows what she wants,” say Hamilton. This attitude is reflected through bold shapes, a minimal color palette, and an emphasis on textured patterns, all done while remaining feminine with an innate sense of elegance.

TODAY WE ARE FEELING PATRIOTIC ND NOSTALGIC
KEEPING IT SHARP
Do you know what a winklepicker is?? well! i guess not! without disclosing my age, i have to admit that i am now wearing them the second time around, yes, i was lucky enough to assist the movement of the MOD-ERA during my teenage years in London ( no age calculations please) :-)
Winklepickers (also known as Winkle Pickers) are a style of shoe or boot worn from the 1950s onward by male and female British rock and roll fans. The feature which gives both the boot and shoe their name is the very sharp and quite long pointed toe, reminiscent of medieval footwear and approximately the same as the long pointed toes on some women's fashion shoes and boots today. This pointed toe was called the winkle picker toe because, in England, periwinkle snails are eaten with a pin or pointed object to get the winkle out of the shell (hence the term "to winkle something out"). Fierceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! attention! not recommended for those with broad feet :-)

Today l'atelier is feeling homesick and nostalgic ( don't forget we are a bunch of foreigners in here), the weather here is crap, it's grey, quite dirty and extremely depressing, however saying that i'm quite sure that the weather in London is exactly the same if not worse. For reasons com pletely unbeknown to me, i feel that today i'd rather be there than here. The good thing about quiet days like this means that one can be uttertly selfindulgent, please don't get me wrong, this in quite simple terms means: spending more time on this blog, watching video memorabilia on youtube and going for endless coffees at Mai Lings bar across the road.
Today here the legendary band "The Jam" headed by the forever firecely charismatic Paul Weller is causing a stir. Just take a look at the get up they used to wear, absolute genius!!! cool bands with so much natural style are very few and far between these days, what a shame!

MOSTRA D'ARTE L'ATELIER DI CHRISTINE FORTUNE
MAXRTX “Storie da vegetali”
Inaugurazione giovedì 26 novembre 2009 ore 18,00
L'Atelier di Christine Fortune – Via Garigliano 5 – Milano
tel. 02 69901629
La mostra rimarrà aperta fino al 3 dicembre 2009
Orario 10 – 19,30 martedì 10-19
Il piccolo e magico spazio dell'Atelier di Christine Fortune, è lieto di presentare la mostra personale dell'artista toscano MAXRTX.
La mostra a cura di Maria Stella Granara presenta dei piccoli oli su tavola dove sono protagonisti i vegetali.
Il pomodoro, la melanzana, il limone, le ciliegie, le banane, il cavolo acquistano vita propria. Sono immagini affamate, attraverso le quali l’artista persegue un’indagine.
Ecco allora che questi frutti e queste verdure diventano metafora di qualcosa d’altro. Essi hanno i propri pensieri, le proprie idee politiche. Non risparmiano critiche alla società, al sistema capitalistico. Le storie sono frammenti di vita vissuta, l’artista usa i vegetali per inviare dei messaggi. I vegetali trasportano sulla tela una simbologia, che aspetta solo di essere decifrata. Piccoli dipinti con frutti invitanti e succosi, con verdure arrabbiate, microstorie che ci raccontano molto dell’artista. Croci rosse che attraversano i dipinti, o piccole croci ripetute lungo tutta l’opera. La vita ci mette in croce e i poveri frutti e le verdure facendo parte del nostro quotidiano subiscono come noi, gli eventi che tutto travolgono.
MAXRTX alias Massimiliano Cardone è nato ad Empoli nel 1975, dopo il diploma conseguito presso il Liceo Artistico Statale di Firenze, prosegue gli studi specializzandosi con il Corso di fumetto presso la "Scuola internazionale di Comics". Oltre alla sua fervida attività di fumettista con la Rivista Blue della Coniglio Editore, negli ultimi anni MAXRTX si è avvicinato alla pittura. Tra le mostre più importanti meritano di essere menzionate: "Ultracorpi" CENTRO GIOVANI JAVA INFOSHOP di Firenze a cura di Fiorella Nicosia; "Percorsi di pace" collettiva presso la galleria d' arte e design GARD di Roma; mostra collettiva presso la Galleria TECHNE CONTEMPORANEA di Montelupo Fiorentino; mostra personale "Storie da vegetali con Evoluzione" , Palazzo dei Priori, Colle di Val d'Elsa ; mostra collettiva "Mostra d'Arte Contemporanea Città di Pitigliano"; mostra personale “Un metro di vita”, Bottega del Rompicollo, Siena; mostra collettiva “A fil di lama-Tarocchi da visione”, Associazione culturale S'Umbra, Cagliari.
