This August there’s a lot going on. Besides the
seasonal fiestas and house guests, I was doing some research on a Sitgetan company,
Toni Vartrano.
According to the website, Toni Vartrano Menswear collections
follow the trends of each season with an “Italian style, a Spanish touch at its
base, and British brushstrokes” which makes them different and special…
Actually, the clothing is well suited for the more affluent Sitges male tourist
or local, Continental European, Brit or Spaniard.
I realized that my interest in the clothing
retailer was complimentary to another passion of mine, which I’m exploring and
pursuing—filmmaking. It is my other side! In fact, a few days ago
I launched a crowdfunding campaign on the Indiegogo platform about a very
famous clothing retailer in New York City, Charivari…
take a look and support our effort if you can. It would be much appreciated!
Here is a short film about the fashion
documentary I (DRAFT Productions) plan to make:

innovative family retail business which trail-blazed a path from the

Side of Manhattan, highlighting its' legacy—how the chain set the stage of
American success for the most famous international fashion designers of today.

Vanity
Fair Focus on Charivari
Read about the family and their trendsetting company... in Vanity Fair:
www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/08/the-rise-and-fall-of-charivari-the-cult-boutique-of-fashion
Vanity Fair, long time purveyor of
style, culture and journalistic flair has run an article on Charivari, which
was written by the esteemed, late Ingrid Sischy who interviewed Barbara and Jon
Weiser recalling the life and times of their mother, Selma and the highlights
of their retail business.
The
piece commissioned by the magazine and deemed relevant to run in the most
coveted of issues of the year, the September 2016 issue, no less, validates the
importance and impact of Charivari and what drives us as filmmakers to tell the
Weisers’ story.
Although
well written and timely published (for us!), we can assure you the article is
really the leading edge, in terms of covering the details of just how the
retailer came to fame...
We (DRAFT Productions - Cheyenne Crump & Ric Spencer) are hoping to raise the funds through this campaign which
will make it possible to shoot this documentary film. The funding will afford us
to hire the right team and cover the costs incurred in production.
The total
budget of our film is $8o0,000. @afashionuproar
