| KATE Spade New York welcomed guests for a unique experience showcasing the Spring 2018 collection and relaunch of the Sam Handbag as its 25th-anniversary celebration. The brand transformed Central World’s centre atrium to evoke the spirit, sounds and tastes of New Orleans. Kate Spade New York partnered @Freya.art who created one-of-a-kind, personalised illustrations on the brand’s best-selling handbags – including the iconic sam bag, recently re-issued in honour of the brand’s 25th Anniversary - and small leather goods during the event. |
THE Embassy of Italy - represented by H.E. Francesco Saverio Nisio, Ambassador of Italy - will donate a sculpture to the city of Bangkok to celebrate the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The Italian-Thai Friendship Sculpture will be placed in Lumphini Park, opposite the Chinese Pavilion. Designed by Mr. Komsan Phetsit, the model for the work of art was the winning entry in a contest organized by Silpakorn University, established in 1943 by the Italian–born professor and sculptor Corrado Feroci/Silpa Bhirasri, founding father of modern Thai Art. “Alveo” -the title chosen by the artist– is a contemporary 3m-high bronze sculpture representing a Gondola (traditional Italian boat) and an E-Pong (traditional Thai boat) above vertical segments that recall the architectures of both countries reflected in the water. “Alveo” symbolizes the common ties binding Italy and Thailand through water as a unifying element. Indeed, Bangkok has been often called the “Venice of the East” due to the canals that characterize the layout of both cities. Historically, such canals have been crucial in linking people and places. In the artist’s interpretation, they also connect the two cultures. The Inauguration Ceremony will take place and be presided by H.E. the Ambassador of Italy and prominent Thai Authorities in Lumphini Park on Saturday 21st April 2018 at 5.30pm, coincidentally the day in which both Rome and Bangkok were founded (respectively in 753 b.C. and 1782). Thai and Italian citizens are invited to take part in this historical landmark event that will witness the unveiling of an everlasting tribute of friendship between the two countries.
