My visit to ST Pete / part 1

I stayed at the Kimpton Hotel Zamora which is a 4 star hotel.  The service and hospitality was the best. The view was wonderful, especially during sunset. The hotel is only one block away from the beach. The room was very clean and the décor was so beautiful. To be honest,  I really didn’t want to leave the hotel. I highly recommend staying there and I’m already looking forward to going again.

Dali Museum

St. Pete is a beautiful city that is rich with art galleries and museums. I wish I had time to visit the entire city’s art galleries. However, I was lucky enough to visit one of its most impressive museums, the Dali Museum. My friend Greg and I had the privilege of receiving a private tour by Christa, who gave us unique information and a broader understanding of Dali’s work, relationships, collaborations and his life in general. I wasn’t familiar with Dali prior to my visit, but once I started to understand the complicated, talented and brilliant Salvador Dali and his progression of art, I was completely hooked. The collection is enormous and the building itself is incredibly creative and a masterpiece architectural gem. The entire museum is equipped with audio description thoroughly explaining all exhibits, so you’ll be well informed even if you don’t have a guide with you.

My visit happened around the same time Dali museum featured haute couture gowns, accessories, paintings, drawings , photos, as well as new designs by Bertrand Guyon for Maison Schiaparelli. That was the first exhibition dedicated to spot the light on the creative collaboration between Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dali. The powerful collaboration between the two amazed the whole world with their spectacular visions.

I was so overwhelmed when I saw the old Schiaparelli designs! My jaw dropped as I saw all the similarities between my designs and her designs! The coincidence of it touched my heart and left me speechless as I had no explanation but Schiaparelli is definitely my subconscious inspiration. Elsa Schiaparelli was one of the most famous fashion figures between the two World Wars. Her designs were so unique, bold and strongly influenced by artists, like Dali. The collaborations of the two, Dali and Schiaparelli, went viral to prove the strong correlation between art and fashion. I’m so thankful for the opportunity of visiting Dali Museum at the same time of exhibiting Schiaparelli designs.

Stay tuned for Part 2…………………………..

بهاي المدونة راح احجيلكم شوية عن جوانب سفرتي لمدرينة سانت بيترسبرغ الواقعة في ولاية فلوريدا. قضيت بيها احلى 3 أيام ولان مدونة وحدة مو كافية راح انزل كلشي على مرحلتين.

اول شي خلي نحجي عالفندق. اقمت بفندق كيبتون هوتيل زامورا القريب من البحر والفندق كان كلش نظيف والديكور جان رائع والستاف جان جدا لطيف ومرحب.

اهم شي بسفرتي كانت زيارة متحف دالي. سلفادور دالي هو احد اعلام الرسامين والفنانين في بداية القرن العشرين. مسيرته الفنية كات جدا واضجة من خلال رسوماته واحلى شي حبيته وشدني هو علاقاته مع المصممين العالميين في ذلك الوقت واهمهم سكبرالي.

ما اكدر اعبرلكم عن مشاعري من شفت تصاميم سكبرالي. قشعر جسدي من كمية التشابه بين تصاميمها وتصاميمي مع انه جنت دا اشوف تصاميمها للمرة الأولى بحياتي. الي متابعني يعرف كلش زين تصاميمي وراح يكدر يشوف من خلال تصفح هذه المدونة مدى التشابه بيني وبين سكبرالي. يذكر ان سكبرالي هي احدى اعلام التصميم في عالم الازياء بين الحربين الأولى والثانية وكات المنافس الأول لشانيل. بعد وفاتها تعرض دار الأزياء الخاص بها للافلاس مما أدى الى اغلاقه. وحديثا تم فتحه مجددا وتم عرض تصاميمها واعمالها المشتركة مع سلفادور دالي في متحف دال
