Resort 2019 No Pise La Grama

No Pise La Grama es una firma de moda venezolana que nació en el año 2008 bajo la dirección creativa de su fundadora, Daniela Panaro. Desde muy pequeña sintió una fuerte inclinación por el diseño, pasión que la llevó a prepararse en simultáneo como diseñadora de moda en el instituto Brivil de Caracas y como licenciada en Comunicación Social de la Universidad Católica Andrés Bello . Asimismo, Daniela se ha enfocado en profundizar sus conocimientos en la industria de la moda y el diseño, avanzando sus estudios en reconocidos institutos como el Fashion Institute of Technology en Nueva York. Gracias a esto, No Pise La Grama se ha convertido en una marca líder en Venezuela y con gran proyección internacional.
De esta manera, ha logrado posicionarse rápidamente en el mercado venezolano, atrayendo la atención de las conocedoras de la moda gracias a sus valores como la dedicación, calidad e innovación; características que identifican a la marca a través de sus piezas ricas en diseño y creatividad cargadas de femineidad. A lo largo de su trayectoria ha logrado grandes alianzas entre las que destaca la colaboración realizada con Coca-Cola Light, bebida que lanzó un comercial para televisión inspirado en el recorrido de la marca, con la intención de impulsar un mensaje de dedicación y constancia. Luego de esto, la gaseosa volvió a captar la atención produciendo una presentación especial en botellas y latas diseñadas por NPLG, empaques que se convirtieron en ejemplares de colección.
Próximos a celebrar su décimo aniversario, Daniela y su equipo nos presentan la nueva colección de la firma, Resort 2019, inspirada en el arte de la ilustración botánica. La naturaleza es parte esencial del ADN de esta colección, que además está influenciada por la infancia de Daniela en Caracas, con colores representativos del trópico y estampados simbólicos del paisaje venezolano. La colección mantiene elementos clásicos y característicos de No Pise La Grama como los flecos e incluye materiales como algodones, crepes de sedas, denim, y un guiño al caqui.
“En esta nueva temporada me inspiré en el arte de la ilustración botánica, técnica a través de la cual destacamos a cuatro protagonistas en nuestros prints; El Picaflor o Colibrí, el Camaleón, la Orquídea Venezolana y la flor de la parchita o passion fruit que con su color amarillo rompe con todo esquema cromático”. Resort 2019, primera colección de este tipo en ser lanzada por la marca, será presentada este Miércoles 18 de julio en un evento íntimo y exclusivo en Caracas donde se contará con la presencia del mobiliario del escultor y dibujante neerlandés, Cornelis Zitman, obra que también se encuentra presente en el lookbook de la colección, aportando el modernismo venezolano.










































Las colecciones de No Pise La Grama pueden encontrarse en su Flagship Store en el Piso 5 del C.C. Tolón en Caracas, en tiendas multimarcas ubicadas en Venezuela y a nivel internacional, así como a través del portal web de la firma, www.nopiselagrama.com

Exhibition at The Met to Examine the Purpose and Power of Jewelry


Exhibition Dates: November 12, 2018–February 24, 2019
Exhibition Location:The Met Fifth Avenue, Floor 2, Gallery 999,
                             Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Exhibition Hall
Press Preview: Monday, November 5, 10 am–noon

What is jewelry? Why do we wear it? What meanings does it convey? Opening November 12 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the exhibition Jewelry: The Body Transformed will traverse time and space to explore how jewelry acts upon and activates the body it adorns. This global conversation about one of the most personal and universal of art forms brings together some 230 objects drawn almost exclusively from The Met collection. A dazzling array of headdresses and ear ornaments, brooches and belts, necklaces and rings created between 2600 B.C.E. and the present day will be shown along with sculptures, paintings, prints, and photographs that will enrich and amplify the many stories of transformation that jewelry tells.
The exhibition is made possible by Albion Art Co., Ltd.
Additional support is provided by Alice Cary Brown and W.L. Lyons Brown, the Diane W. and James E. Burke Fund, Diane Carol Brandt, the Druckenmiller Foundation, and Galerie Magazine.
If the body is a stage, jewelry is one of its most dazzling performers.  Throughout history and across cultures, jewelry has served as an extension and amplification of the body, accentuating it, enhancing it, distorting it, and ultimately transforming it. Jewelry is an essential feature in the acts that make us human, be they rituals of marriage or death, celebrations or battles. At every turn, it expresses some of our highest aspirations.
Exhibition Overview

The exhibition will open with a dramatic installation that emphasizes the universality of jewelry—precious objects made for the body, a singular and glorious setting for the display of art. Great jewelry from around the world will be presented in a radiant display that groups these ornaments according to the part of the body they adorn: head and hair; nose, lips, and ears; neck and chest; arms and hands; and waist, ankles, and feet.  

The remaining galleries will be organized thematically in order to encourage visitors to make cross-cultural comparisons. The Divine Body will examine one of the earliest conceptions of jewelry—its link to immortality. Featured here will be a rare head-to-toe ensemble from ancient Egypt that accompanied the elite into the afterlife, as well as items from the Royal Cemetery of Ur, implicated in one of the most mysterious rituals of ancient Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq). Also highlighted will be the regalia of the rulers of Calima (present-day Colombia), who were lavishly covered in sheets of gold.

The Regal Body will examine the use of jewelry throughout history to assert rank and status. Among the examples on display will be sapphires and pearls from Byzantium, finely wrought gold from the elites of Hellenistic Greece, and ivory and bronze from the Royal Courts of Benin.  

The Transcendent Body will focus on how jewelry is used to traverse the temporal and spiritual realms. This section will celebrate jewelry's power to conjure spirits, appease gods, and evoke ancestors.  Sculpted images and exquisite jewelry from India will underscore the active role of gold ornaments in Hindu worship. Adornments from Coastal New Guinea, splendidly fashioned from shell and feathers, will speak to jewelry's capacity to channel the spiritual well-being of the wearer.  

The Alluring Body will explore how jewelry engenders desire. Woodblock prints and period ornaments will convey the ways in which hair dressing indicated a courtesan's availability in Edo Japan. Photographs and spectacular jewels will highlight the eroticism of pearls in the Victorian era and beyond. Jewelry designed by Elsa Schiaparelli, Art Smith, Elsa Peretti, and Shaun Leane will document how contemporary artists push the limits of glamour, courting danger and even pain.   

The Resplendent Body will call out the marriage of material and technique for the purpose of ostentation. Examples will include the opulent adornment of the Mughals; the aesthetic of accumulation in the gold and silver jewelry of the Akan and Fon peoples of West Africa; and the elegant designs of such legendary jewelry houses as Tiffany, Castellani, and Lalique. Contemporary jewelry makers—including Peter Chang, Joyce J. Scott, and Daniel Brush—who question and re-imagine notions of luxury and adornment will also be celebrated.

Replete with new acquisitions and recent discoveries from the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Jewelry: The Body Transformed will test assumptions about what jewelry is and has been. It will also confirm that these precious objects are among the most potent vehicles of cultural memory.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a lavishly illustrated catalogue featuring essays by Met curators from across the Museum. Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and distributed by Yale University Press, the book will be available for purchase at The Met Store (hardcover, $50).

Met curators, conservators, and outside experts will contribute to a series of regular blog posts on the techniques and materials of the jewelry on display. The exhibition will be featured on the Museum's website, as well as on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
