In 2013 Davide Cristofaro was a guest on JUMP, the art workshop produced by JO TV, channel 189 on digital terrestrial television for Apulia, Basilicata and Calabria. In Taranto the episode presented the Fluidity and Etno Chic collections.
The make-up
The episode opens backstage: make-up artist Valentina Del Conte prepares the models with vivid eyeshadows in green, yellow and orange, the same shades as the silks.
The paintings
In the studio, models Asja, Marianna, Elisa and Marilisa take turns in front of the projected paintings to sum up Davide Cristofaro’s philosophy of art in a few sentences: dreams and emotions expressed through colour, the “Gods of Other Times” with their piercing gazes, suspended between dream and reality, and an art that moves from canvas to silk.
“…My heart needs rhythm, my mind needs harmony, my soul needs colour…”
The fashion show
After a few words from Davide Cristofaro comes the show: over black outfits the large hand-painted silk scarves open like capes, pink and purple, yellow and orange, green and blue, burnt tones with black ornaments.
Make-up: Valentina Del Conte. Models: Asja, Marianna, Elisa, Marilisa.
Painting and fashion in the same episode, just as in the Fluidity and Etno Chic collections: art that moves from canvas to silk and is worn.
