This time the young designers are ready to discuss design quality. What are the characteristics that give an object “quality design” status”? Durability, accessibility, functions, evironmental impact, innovation, the capacity to arouse an emotional response? Each designer confronts his or her design values, to give a personal definition of quality.

An interior design has an almost theatrical touch that reveals a great tradition of artisan culture in the lights, marble, armchairs, designer wall coatings, each crafted the finest quality of the materials.

“In a limited commercial logic, r-EVOLution’s intention is to offer a concrete alternative to art “salons”. We think there is an artistic underworld worth its valuable space, because only through a fairer exchange will we be able to enter everyone’s homes and beat a crisis that – before being economical – is, in fact, cultural”.

Utmost satisfaction after the excellent results of our first appointment in November. In this occasion, we experienced a significant turnout (in addition to the locals – from Milan and the Lombardy Region -, foreign tourists visiting the Expo Capital attended).

The works of contemporary art by the 50 young emerging artists in the exhibition generated general enthusiasm and interest in all its forms (painting, photography, video installations, sculpture).

The next free entry at the art week-end is set for mid-December: the great Sale Exhibition in Milan – “BazArte for All” – has been organized to take place in an alternative location, far from the conventional concept of Gallery or of the ordinary “Swedish” Department Stores. The public is regarded as the “promoter of tomorrow’s art” here. They will not only have a chance to admire the works of art following “a guided exhibition”, but also socialize with the young artists and have the possibility to find – amongst the Original Artworks on display – Their Very Own Unique Piece at a sell out price, accessible and affordable to all.

Moreover, for the whole duration of these two exhibition dates, the public will be offered various additional services and a spectacular series of Events inside the Event. The aim of this is to combine different forms of convivial aggregation, sharing the same love for Art, Music and Culture.

The idea is to transform the First Floor of the Spazio Concept location in an Open Art Gallery, making it a point of reference not only for the artists but also for Milanese citizens, for the people living in Lombardy, for everybody who is particularly interested in art or simply intrigued by it.

BazArte is just like a typical market – the name is, in fact, inspired by it (Bazar) -. It is a colourful, light hearted place, open to everybody, where people of different ages and different cultural and social backgrounds meet to share their own experiences, socialize and decide to pleasantly spend their time here together. All this while enjoying classical music and live painting performances by some of the artists participating to this two-day Exhibition, marked and supported by entertaining background music, tasting, Sunday – Happy Hour at 6:00 p.m. and Saturday – r-EVOLutionary Breakfast at 11:00 a.m., offered by r-EVOLution.

Finally, the possibility to extend the stay Saturday evening, with Passante & Confraternita del Chianti’s live music at 7:30 p.m. and with FRA JAMB’s LIVE HIP HOP at 10:00 p.m. closing the evening.

“Christmas is close. Have you no idea what presents to give? Are you tired of the usual commonplaces and can you not be bothered dragging yourself into town for Christmas shopping? Have you not enough money to buy a nice original gift? No Panic! We can help you! Come and see us at BazArte! You might find an idea or just what you are looking for in the Exhibition’s vast selection of artworks! BazArte for All, December 17th – 18th 2011, First Floor of Spazio Concept, Via Forcella, 7/13, Milano (Tortona Area), free entry.”

Company founder Porscia Yeganeh is a young multi-talented international fashion designer who has built an impressive exclusive reputation with target consumers and retailers with her unique innovative one-of-a-kind styles. She lives the life of a customer by understanding the form of the body with functionality and style.

PORSCIA®: Inspiration for simple beauty. Where does your inspiration come from?
PORSCIA®’s show was motivated by “Inspiration for Simple Beauty“. My designs are for women who care about their whole allure and make women feel beautiful on any occasion whether they’re on a date night or a play date. The collection incorporates minimalist lavish details with delicate materials to create an ultra feminine look with practical functional form. PORSCIA® is a leader in innovation as garments are never trendy but, are always edgy and modern.

PORSCIA®’s Fall/Winter ‘11/12 ready-to-wear collection is an amalgamation of figure-flattering designs which show beauty and elegance. The earthy tones and quality fabrics are the basis of the new line. The warm natural color pallet comes alive when combined with PORSCIA®’s exquisite, well-tailored designs. The collection will bring out the confident tigress in the modern woman.

I design with no fear and use for all seasons with non frightening bright colors which can forever be worn with a  flare of accent with high quality constriction and comfortable wear. I care to not overwhelm garments with colorful busy patters/jewels to take away from the craftsmanship.

I am a consumer of my own products and know the need and want of wear, I support what every woman needs!

Your showed your first affinity with Fashion at the age of 6. How have you cultivate your passion and what have been the steps that drove you to create  PORSCIA® Corporation?
I was a born child with my mother as my inspiration for making me beautiful princess dresses. At 6 years old I made my first skirt and top out of my pillow case covers. In high school my nick name was Ms. Fashion Queen as I made a lot of my clothes myself. In textiles class, I was the second teacher for students as they would come and ask me questions first, to get the real understanding of fashion rather than what was written in the books.

I was always a very creative child with inspiration for simple beauty for finding the simple style and manipulating it to fit the desired body shape.

And then many recognitions has come …
From 2002 to the present my designs have graced and sponsored actors and models at the Red Carpet Film Festivals (e.g., Cannes and Toronto) and various fashion pageants, making PORSCIA® an indelible mark on the international fashion scene. A surprisingly high level of interest and attention from multiple buying requests from key retailers/department stores in North America, including several high-end boutiques encouraged me to create PORSCIA® Fashions, Inc. and formally enter the luxury fashion market.

Being sexy even without showing skin. How could you describe the woman that represents your brand?
I was a very conservative dresser as a child and never do I remember buying a short dress/skirt above my knees, although I have always had a slim body. From that, it brought the elegance and class I was raised in to my collections of today’s wear. I have grown in knowing, feeling the attire movement and knowing which features of clothes to showcase prominently on the body to highlight the best part and hide the least. The least you show the more appealing, sexy it is to the eye I believe as it adds an imagination to the eye of the viewer.

Canadian design, Italian production. Why Italy? Are you producing everything there?
We use Canada for all financial purposes as tax is lower and currency is better. Italian for high quality care and best production for all around garment. We have limited my products to only Europe to be in the most completive industry fashion can have. You ask why? Because we are building the distinctive, descriptive brand name PORSCIA® as the next recognized international brand to hit the market. The name says it all with the unique talent behind it. If you make it here, you have made it everywhere!

Together with supermodel Naomi Campbell and many others VIP, the president of Pirelli Marco Tronchetti Provera  opend this amazing place in the centre of  Milan, where fashion and design meet.
