Nilva Campedelli is back to stay and we love it
I met Nilva Campedelli at Gloria, in a sophisticated atmosphere from the 80's night clubs, modern ambient of artists and fashionistas, where they do not contain in wear psychedelic garments with prints of animals and lots of gilded lurex, gold & silver ornaments (why not mixed) and accessories with influence of all the times combined in a brilliant way for some and shocking for others.
Boys wear make-up, dark eyes. Girls wear panama hats and sweet helmets, cherry lips inspired on 20's, among others, many others ornaments which shows the mark of their style and confidence.
Club Gloria is placed in one of the most traditional points of
In this place that after being a church, it worked as one of the underground theaters farthest commented in town , and where today in some occasions one can find innovation and creativity, but Gloria seems to be one of the most Avant-garde places
of the Capital.
Nilva is part of this setting, adorable as person and brilliant artist with a startling background, she tells me a little of her path where now she returned with her work in accessories design inspired by selected sources as it could not be different, because of her good taste and origins, Nilva Campedelli was born in São Paulo, where she lives, Av.Paulista, best postcard of it. Back to the action since beginning of 2008.Short time
but pretty well profitable.
Formed in Plastic arts and Fashion, she followed the path permeated by the change among those two modalities. In her portfolio we can find an entire fan of varieties that goes from fashion accessories design and manufacture to theater and short film costume design, creation of images and styling of photo shoots and fashion shows.
She also develops serialize of objects - contemporary assemblages, Baroque hybrid composed of wood, metal and fabric.
Her connection with the fashion comes from her lives to tend infancy, always guided by her maternal grandmother - an eminent embroiderer and designer - and goes to her great-grandfather, maternal also - that worked the wood and the metal. Nilva belongs the fourth generation of the family of Portuguese artisans, and thanks to that, their creations plows known by her delicate manual work, accompanied of the refinement in the choice of the materials, which don't need obligatorily be luxurious, but always elegant, seductive, soft and the most natural possible, checking them sensorial qualities.
Of an aesthetic point of view, one of their main characteristics is the mixture of materials disappearance incompatible with dissonant tendencies, like she did in her last collection - the happy, but unlikely marriage between the punk movement and the art Brazilian feather...
Nilva is also a collector, and in approximately 20 years of research she got to gather an amazing and anthology collection of rare objects from where it become great part of her inspiration.
Of this operation, that consists to mix current materials and old techniques - that plows in disappearance roads - the artist creates the private universe, transforming all those elements in contemporary productions, wrapped up in the mystery air and of seduction.
Nilva is back, after experienced in many parts of the world she could feed her talent, and now she is back to stay!
