Sportmax Carte Blanche nº5: Chiara Clemente

Sportmax acaba de presentar la edición número cinco de su proyecto “Carte Blanche”, una colección cápsula concebida por Studio Blanco en la que se invita a un artista a interpretar la firma con una colección de tres piezas.

Después de la cantante de Sonic Youth Kim Gordon, el editor de Purple Christophe Brunnquell, la artista Lola Montes Schnabel y la creativa Ambra Medda, le llega el turno a la cineasta e it girl Chiara Clemente.

Clemente, hija del pintor Francesco Clemente, creció en un entorno altamente artístico en el que pululaban las figuras de Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel y Keith Haring. En 2010 consiguió hacer sonar su nombre con el documental sobre cinco mujeres artistas “Our City Dreams”, en el que aparece Marina Abramovic.

Para la colaboración con Sportmax, Clemente declara su amor al arte de viajar en esta colección limitada de 1000 piezas, en la que cada una de ellas reresenta un souvenir desde las playas de Amalfi, los acantilados que dan al mar de Nerano en Nápoles, una puesta de sol en Nueva York o una Palmera de Okinawa.

“Viajar ha formado parte de mi vida desde antes de nacer. El primer viaje lo hice en la India en el vientre de mi madre. Al hacerme adulta continué con el deseo de viajar, y cuando empecé a dirigir, me moví todavía más. Con cada sitio nuevo mi curiosidad crecía y las memorias se apilaban, tomando formas nuevas” explica Chiara sobre la colaboración.

Para las piezas que ha desarrollado con Sportmax, ha trabajado las nociones de viaje y memoria. La directora seleccionó imágenes de sus viajes y las distorsionó para que parecieran memorias del pasado, borrosas por el tiempo.

Sportmax presents the fifth chapter of their project “Carte Blanche”, a capsule collection conceived by Studio Blanco in which invites an artist to interpret the brand with a collection of three garments.

The singer Sonic Youth, Kim Gordon, the editor of Purple Christophe Brunnquell, the artist Lola Montes Schnabel and the creative Ambra Medda have been some of the previous collaborations; and now it’s time for the filmmaker and it-girl Chiara Clemente.

Clemente is the daughter of the painter Francesco Clemente and was raised in a highly artistic environment in which seethe personalities such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel or Keith Haring. In 2010 she achieved to make her name appear in the documental about five artist women “Our City Dreams” in which Marina Abramovic also appears.

For the collaboration with Sportmax, Clemente declares her love to the art of travelling in this limited collection of 1000 garments. Each piece represents a souvenir from the Amalfi beaches, the cliffs facing the sea Nerano in Naples, the sunset in New York or a palm-tree in Okinawa.

“Travelling has been part of me since before I was born. My first trip was to India in my mother’s womb. When I grew up I kept this desire of travelling and when I started to direct I travelled much more. With every new place, my curiosity grew and the memories stacked taking new forms,” says Chiara about the collaboration.

For the pieces that she has developed with Sportmax, she worked with the notions of travelling and memory. The director selected pictures of her trips and she twisted them to look like they were memories from the past, blurry because of time.
