Edward
Venero always seeks to represent part of the symbolism of Peru in order to accomplish
a process of identification through the
garments he creates; for this runway he had for inspiration the Peruvian carnival,
that is the reason of the presence of many colors: orange, yellow, red, among
others, to light up the pale colors of our season fall-winter.
The elements of our patriotic shield were used in different clothes. Venero’s ability to
conceive cohesive compositions of fabric designs is due to his knowledge of
graphic design as a university teacher and his degree in Art at the Pontifical
Catholic University of Peru; this knowledge goes toward the handling of natural
fabrics like alpaca and other camelids; both represent the pillars of his
success.
The plus of
his show was the styling, the male models wore painting on their faces, fake
mustaches, party streamers around their necks and carried silver buckets.
Sweaters
were developed, with braids, straps and others were similar to nets; low cut jumpers,
shirts and his unmistakable looks of: shirt+bow tie+ knitted vest, pants showed
new ideas in pattern making using many zippers; he also designed underwear.
Accesories were gloves and belts; footwear surprised everybody for
its uniqueness in every piece: Oxford shoes and sneakers with an ‘80s vibe, both full of
colors and textures.
He ended the
show with his models, appearing with a fake mustache too, also wearing
many party streamers. The models emptied the buckets they were carrying exhibiting
lots of party streamers as a representation of a typical carnival. His runway
show has become one of the favorites of LIF Week 12.
