Licia Florio/The Maison Happiness

project011

     今天竟然是胃疾讓我請了病假，在床上他媽的又痛又翻滾地反映出對時間的某種焦躁(我不想要難得有自己的時間卻只是挨疼)。星期天去加班，就為了打理某某設計新星的採訪；每一天的工作，都像是為了當他們的保母，解決他們不食人間煙火之民生需求。

     搞不懂日子怎麼會被我搞成這麼像坨屎？我相信也許這一切本意都不壞，只是莫名其妙地被我的軟弱弄得變質。或者也不能說是軟弱，是粉紅色的妒忌。

        很好，再砸完蛋糕後有舒坦一些了。在替某某(新星)們整理下一季展訊時，主要針對年輕設計師的法國展會Who's Next，為了幫助世界各地有才華的設計師能嶄露頭角，於2008年設立了一個創意平台blog，推薦有興趣的人，可以看看和自己差不多年齡的人們已經都做到了甚麼程度(怎麼這句話聽起來格外心酸)。

        當然每個人喜好都不同，而我感觸特別深的就是這位1985出生的Licia小姐，在她的city and forest and pink and brown and cotton and silk and and wool and you and me wild…等等的小世界裡，和她設計出的衣服感覺一樣，有種說不出來又柔軟又堅強的東西在她體內，而她的藝術作品，也有源於服裝設計的概念構思與本行裡熟悉慣性的素材，這裡有關於3個她被採訪的問題及回答。

The Maison Happiness is the Licia Florio’s playground

What do you like most about your job?

I like to follow every aspect of my job: the research, the choice of fabrics, the design and also the commercial part. I find it interesting and it makes me happy. I feel the responsability, but I don't mind spending week ends on paper models and sketches. This is what I want to do.

play with Art! 

Is there someone, more or less known, who inspires you? Why?

I 'm not inspired by anyone in particular. My passion is to do research travelling, looking at magazines, books and online. When I start thinking about a collection I join everything that inspired me with what I'd like to wear. After months between pictures, cues, notes, photographs, I design the collection in a day and I spend the following weeks defining fabrics and colours.

How do you see yourself in 10 years?

I hope to spend every day from now to the next 10 years doing what I'm doing. I wish I could, step by step, make Licia Florio a brand with a strong personality, appreciated and high-quality. Milan will always be my starting point to travel around the world.
