Dear Shaded Viewers,
Exciting news, ASVOFF (A Shaded View on Fashion Film) has announced its new President for the 17th edition. American designer Willy Chavarria, winner of the grand prize at ASVOFF 16, has been chosen to lead the cultural event.
“When I was thinking how do I follow my ASVOFF 16 President, Michele Lamy, I thought that the winner of the grand prize, American designer Willy Chavarria, would be a dream. I had only seen his fashion and his film, ‘Safe from Harm,’ and knew that our energies would be a perfect match. Although he was confirmed by the end of December I did not have the opportunity to meet until after his impactful show. My long time friend, the designer from New York, Zaldy, a legend himself, introduced us. Florence Julienne of FashionUnited reported on this exciting development, while collective_parade documented their encounter. Thank you to my friend Shoji of collective_parade for sending me our photo.
Later,
Diane
