How Lisu Vega’s “El Cuerpo de la Obra” Will Make You Feel About Fashion

How Lisu Vega’s “El Cuerpo de la Obra” Will Make You Feel About Fashion
When was the last time a piece of clothing made you feel something? If you’ve never shopped for a wedding dress or squeezed into ill-fitting pants, it’s possible you’ve never thought of dressing yourself as an emotional act. But for fashion artist Lisu Vega, textiles are a medium for catharsis.
“I use the body as a canvas to express my emotions,” the Laundromat Art Space resident says. “For me, fashion is information. And I use the body to make information in the city. It’s not only fashion; it’s art statement pieces in the street. Fashion must always relate to art.”

La desfragmentación crea formas en “Alana”

La desfragmentación crea formas en “Alana”
Líneas, trazos, movimientos, superposiciones, así es “Alana”, la nueva colección de la artista plástica y diseñadora de moda venezolana Lisu Vega, quien da continuidad a la investigación, la exploración en el estudio y la descomposición de las formas.
En esta oportunidad la artista fusiona las capas con un interesante trabajo de manipulación textil, al tiempo que las sombras juegan un papel fundamental. Vega, quien basa su modalidad de trabajo a través de drops o entregas, continúa honrando su experticia como profesional del grabado experimental, en el que las telas y los colores funcionan como una mancha gráfica que interviene a los cuerpos, como si se tratara de un canvas.

Resistencia – La Moda-Denuncia de Lisu Vega
Juan Henriquez / FEATURED / 5 Comments
Desde “Resistencia“, su más reciente colección de arte-moda, la diseñadora Lisu Vega se inspira en la indumentaria de los jóvenes venezolanos que salen a la calle para protestar en contra del régimen que tiene al país sumido en la pobreza, el hambre, los altos índices de inflación y la escasez de medicamentos. Una propuesta de moda social que busca llevar el mensaje a nuevos alcances ante la falta de libertad que vive el país. “Resistencia” es un activismo a través de la moda. Para este proyecto Vega se propuso explorar en sus textiles composiciones gráficas con imágenes, símbolos y cifras descarnadas de las carencias, injusticias, abusos y arbitrariedades de Venezuela en una indumentaria-tributo a los jóvenes venezolanos que reclaman en las calles un país mejor. Y es un reconocimiento también a los fotógrafos y reporteros gráficos que han registrado las más violentas protestas en Venezuela y de cuyas instantáneas la artista se apropia para crear este concepto de moda-denuncia, de moda que protesta. “Resistencia” pertenece a la colección privada de arte-moda de Lisu Vega, no está a la venta, sólo podría ser donada a una fundación que utilice el 100% de las ganancias para el pueblo venezolano.

Resistencia fue presentado a finales del mes de Junio de 2017 en el evento de Raw Artists (Miami- Verse Edition).

“El romance de Lisu Tatiana Vega con el diseño y la confección se remonta a su infancia. Su abuelo tenía una tienda de telas y su abuela era experta en costura. “A los cinco años le perdí el miedo a las tijeras, comencé a hacer patrones con mi abuela y vestidos para mis muñecas. Me dormía con el sonido de la máquina de coser”, cuenta esta joven que nació en enero de 1980 en Miami, Estados Unidos, pero quien desde los dos meses de edad se crió en Venezuela.”

While at the doctor’s office, Lisu came up with the prints idea of her own eyes for the new collection. During the exam Lisu’s vision turned completely red for a moment reason eye the red tears.

ART TO WEAR |Ocean Drive Magazine
Juan Henriquez / FEATURED / 0 Comments
- Where do you find inspiration? “Inspiration comes anytime from anywhere, but Miami is really my muse.”
- Why “made in Miami”? “I refuse to produce in China or other places because of the exploitation of the young workers and human trafficking.”
- Tell me something quirky about you: “I keep a sewing machine with me at all times. I have one in my studio, one in my car, and one in my bedroom at home.”
- Were you always into fashion? “My grandmother, who’s 81 now, taught me to sew when I was 4, but I went to law school. I ended up leaving all that behind.”
- Any advice for emerging fashion designers in Miami as they start their businesses? “You can work hard here in Miami, and you can achieve your dreams.”
Lisu Vega opens the door to the Little Haiti studio she shares with her artist husband, Juan Henriquez. She’s draped in a striking cobalt blue cape that covers her slight frame without overwhelming her completely. That’s because she made it by hand. Vega makes a lot of things by hand, creating what she likes to call “art to wear.”The 34-year-old Miami-born artist and fashion designer employs vibrant colors that pervaded her childhood in a small town near Maracaibo, Venezuela, and her adult life when she returned to Miami. “The bright blue skies here are so similar to there; both are so inspiring,” says Vega, who recently won a competition to design the flight attendant uniforms for a reincarnated Eastern Airlines, a household name in Miami for 65 years until it went out of business in 1991. Though it bears the same name, Vega clarifies, the new Eastern Airlines Group is not affiliated with the defunct carrier. And neither are her designs. “When I was 6, my mom’s friend was a super chic flight attendant for a Venezuelan air-line,” she says. “I’m channeling her vibe and elegance for this project.”The fusion of glamour and function is what makes this self-taught designer’s collections so desirable for many of Miami’s most fabulous women, including Athina Klioumi de Marturet, the wife of the acclaimed Venezuelan com-poser and maestro of The Miami Symphony Orchestra, Eduardo Marturet. This summer, she commissioned Vega to create a silkscreen gown bearing a repetitive stylized image of Eduardo at work for the opening night of his ninth season with MISO. The iterative patterning technique is one of Vega’s signature moves. She says her indigenous roots taught her that you can’t worry too much about matching, which has allowed her to go wild with tribal imprints, collages, Japanese silhouettes, mod geometric forms, and African color combinations. One hundred percent of her line is made in Miami with primarily organic or upcycled (using useless/recycled goods and making them better) textiles, which poses a challenge as she competes against designers sourcing and producing elsewhere for much less. “You have to keep your priorities straight,” says Vega, a self-described “artist, mother, and an American.”One of her biggest priorities is her family, and she and her husband of 15 years are the proud parents of Julian, their 6-year-old son. She recalls how she breast-fed him for nearly two years while she worked at her desk, building her business; her designs are now carried in stores from Miami to Panama and Venezuela. “Without him, all of this would be impossible — he’s my inspiration.” Alessandra Gold Concept Store, 3326 N.
