MA 09 Design is Human
May 13
MA's concern about global events that especially negatively impact the lives of innocent women and children is very real and is in part why the event is called Design Is "Human". For 2009, MA-ology examines leaders in Italian creativity and is rightfully-so named “The Italian Style”, and promises to be a very hip international exhibition centered around the famous "Made In Italy" brand and its global contribution to architecture and design, fashion, and art.
MA-ology “The Italian Style”MA-ology is an unique and exciting MA activity focused solely on creativity from around the world. Last years ultra successful MA-ology exposed Belgian creativity to Atlantans through the likes of Extremis, Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, and Jarno Kettunen.
For 2009, MA-ology examines leaders in Italian creativity and is rightfully-so named “The Italian Style”, and promises to be a very hip international exhibition centered around the famous “Made In Italy” brand and its global contribution to architecture and design, fashion, and art. “The Italian Style” features Zanotta’s famous and revolutionary Sacco armchair, courtesy Zanotta (Italy); in collaboration with Jeffrey Atanta and Jeffrey New York, cutting-edge Italian fashion from names like Marni, Prada, Gucci, and 6267; and paintings of the exceptionally talented and acclaimed Italian painter, Marco Grassi (Milan). Entrance to MA-ology “The Italian Style” is $20 at the door and expected to sell out early (proceeds will benefit CARE). Students with ID are allowed in for half price.

CARE International
MA’s concern about global events that especially negatively impact the lives of innocent women and children is very real and is in part why the event is called Design Is “Human”. Rising the awareness in 2009 will be no exception as CARE’s Derek Kayongo returns for MA09 to speak passionately on behalf of CARE’s work with women to create permanent social change. Woman are at the heart of CARE’s community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. Proceeds from “The Italian Style” ticket sales and the paintings of Marco Grassi go to help support CARE’s work with women and children. For more CARE Fundraiser click here.

Some would say Italian fashion has the same or greater status as does Italian design. We will let the experts decide, but like design, Italian fashion has its world famous brands and designers and leads the industry in new ideas and execution. Early Italian pioneers like Valentino and Gucci helped make the “Made In Italy” label a status symbol and give a small European country international prominence when it came to creativity. The Italians say “Moda Italia” (Italian Fashion) and it is all about attitude and outward appearances. And how one dress is very important to Italians and the clothes have to make a strong statement about who they are, especially when out in public, all part of the Italian tradition and dressing for success. For “The Italian Style” MA and its Director of Fashion, Ashley Chase is collaborating for the second year with Atlanta’s top fashion boutique who adores Italian fashion, Jeffrey Atlanta (and Jeffrey New York) to present the hottest Italian fashion on the planet. Expect to see the exclusive preview of 2009 Spring/Summer collection and rare runway ensembles from Marni. Other Atlanta-based collaborators include The Atlantan magazine.
