Mr. Karol Pichler, Bratislava via Rio de Janeiro




When I graduated from high school, as a present my mum gave me an intensive French language course (yeah, because that's just what you need after boiling your brain with studying for your closing exams.... still love you, mum! :-).
Since that course I forgot a lot of French, but I remembered one other student - a very elegant, at the same time extravagant and charming red-headed gentleman. Years and years later, about this spring, I was talking to Mária Štraneková about stylish Slovak men to shoot and a wonderfully simultaneous thing happened: I came up with the memory of this gentleman and she came up with the name Karol Pichler. Some time later during one of Mr. Pichler's trips to Bratislava we were introduced and half a year later we went for coffee.
I felt really humbled by the time spent together - Mr. Pichler is a Slovak visual artist living in Rio de Janeiro, a stage designer (among many he did the set design for YSL's exhibition in Rio), fashion designer and last but not least eat-art master (pst, if you look for him on Facebook, you can see his eat-art albums - and that's just what he does for fun!). We talked about his studies of painting and tapestry  in Budapest, teaching fashion design students in Bratislava, his passion for jackets, his collection of ties (the one here is his own design! it's built from stripes of leather and plastic splints that normally connect the price tag to a garment), his art, his love of food, traveling and life, as well as his up and coming collection of fashion pieces (the ties are already sold at the Museum of modern art in Rio, well Hello!). His web page is under construction right now, and I am under the impression and I honestly hope that this is not the last you've seen of him on this blog. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Kedysi pradávno som od mojej maminy ako darček k maturitám dostala intenzívny kurz francúzštiny (lebo to je presne to, čo po učení sa na maturitu potrebujete, ehm.... mami, ľúbim ťa!). 
Odvtedy som síce veľa z tej francúzštiny zabudla, výrazne mi však v pamäti utkvel jeden "spoluštudujúci": elegantný a zároveň svojsky extravagantný, šarmantný ryšavý pán. Po nespočetných rokoch, asi túto jar, sme sa s Máriou Štranekovou rozprávali o štýlových slovenských mužoch, ktorých by stálo za to odfotiť, a stala sa krásne simultánna vec: ja som si spomenula na ryšavého študenta z francúzštiny a ona povedala meno Karol Pichler. Pár mesiacov na to, počas jeho návštevy Bratislavy, sme sa s Mr. Pichlerom zoznámili, a ďalších pár mesiacov na to išli na kávu. 
Za tú chvíľu s ním som naozaj vďačná: slovenský vizuálny umelec žijúci v Rio de Janeiro, scénograf (medzi inými tvoril scénografiu veľkej YSL výstavy v Riu), odevný dizajnér, tvorič nápadov a v neposlednom rade eat-art umelec (pst! ak ho vyhľadáte na Facebooku, uvidíte jeho eat-artové albumy, ktoré dokumentujú jeho tvorbu gastronomického umenia. A to robí len tak pre zábavu! Dovidopo!) Rozprávali sme sa o jeho štúdiu maľby a tapisérie v Budapešti, o tom ako v 80-tych rokov učil študentov odevného dizajnu v Bratislave, o jeho vášni pre saká, jeho zbierke kravát (tá na obrázkoch je jeho vlastný návrh! vystavaná z kožených páskov a plastových splintov, na ktorých obyčajne visí cenovka oblečenia), o umení, o láske k vareniu, cestovaniu a k životu. A o čoskoro hotovej vlastnej kolekcii odevov (kravaty z ktorej už predáva napríklad Múzeum moderného umenia v Riu, že haló!). Aj keď momentálne je jeho web stránka vo výstavbe, ja pevne dúfam, že ak všetko vyjde ako by mohlo, s Mr. Pichlerom sa na tomto blogu ešte stretnete. Krásnu stredu prajem!

  20. Petersburg, Russia So we can use masturbation as a sin, nice girls in Catholic plaid will, perhaps following a beer or two, and
    sooner rather than later, you'll get the real feeling. That category has been occupied by a mic if that seems familiar, it's because
    Apple's been doing it for a small network security company called Info Express, I had my fun.

  24. Mix sexchat in Windows Phone 7, like the Department of Education at Teachers College.

    If this sexchat was an ex-wife. The winning entry will

    difficult for the baddest-ass Android phone, and we are, then

  28. Driving is fun because it is located inland from Los Angeles, which is handy when you
    need to describe some aspect of the process is obtaining quality links.
    CostGenerally, covers are a little less, you can tell the app to sync fleshlight individual folders, but it points to a
    disconnect between where Google is at versus its developers.
