]]> Portrait of a talented artist : Anyuta Gusakova. https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/portrait-of-a-talented-artist-anyuta-gusakova/ Fri, 18 Aug 2023 11:52:57 +0000 https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=42345

Marushka Mikulas introduces us to the world of artist Anyuta Gusakova :

Anyuta Gusakova was born in Vladivostok, on Russia’s Pacific coast, into a family of Czech, Polish and Ukrainian descent. From an early age, art became Anyuta’s means of expressing her emotions and dreams, and of staying in touch with herself. Growing up, Anyuta was surrounded by cultural objects from Japan and China.

These objects had a profound influence on her artistic perception and expression. After graduating from high school, she obtained a degree in linguistics, then, pursuing her dream of becoming a professional sculptor, she moved to Moscow to study classical art at the Stroganov Academy of Art and Design. She graduated with an MFA in monumental and decorative sculpture in 2006, and immigrated to Canada in 2008.

“I believe that life is supposed to be joyful, inspired, and filled with love. I want to help people attune their hearts to whimsy, wonder, and balance. Life is an exciting journey if you go through it with the open heart and curious eyes of your inner child”. Anyuta Gusakova.

Anyuta’s mission is to create works of art that uplift people and fill their hearts with balance and joy. After exhibiting her work this year at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair and Castlegar Sculpturewalk, Anyuta’s Toy Bear will be part of a unique event-exhibition called Throwback, organized by the prestigious Art Rapture in Vancouver. Reserve the date for September 23, 2023.

]]> AUTHENTIQUES PARIS – THE FRENCH TOP-OF-THE-RANGE DRESSING ROOM https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/authentiques-paris-the-french-top-of-the-range-dressing-room/ Sun, 06 Aug 2023 17:08:12 +0000 https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=42197

Do you dream of having a dressing room worthy of the greatest palaces, of seeing your clothes and accessories arranged like in a fine Parisian fashion boutique, or of decorating your own professional establishment? Authentiques Paris is a top-of-the-range manufacturer based in Cholet, Maine et Loire, France, offering made-to-measure dressing rooms, leather hangers, ostrich hangers, shagreen hangers, shoe care sets, top-of-the-range leather goods, designer furniture and much more.

For professionals and private customers alike. We met Laurent Gohé and his wife, who for over 20 years have been working for some of the world’s leading luxury brands, whether in the personal goods sector (dressing room accessories, office accessories, etc.) or in the interior design sector (hotels, boutiques, yachting, etc.). Their unique, made-to-measure hangers and accessories bring you the sometimes ancestral, often unique know-how of top-of-the-range French craftsmanship.

“At Authentiques Paris, we understand your expectations and demands in terms of dressing rooms and accessories of all kinds designed to sublimate your interior spaces. Whether for professional or personal use, or to embellish the high-end dressing rooms of a luxurious residence, a private jet or a prestigious boat, they design an entire range of made-to-measure accessories for you“. Laurent Gohé

The nobility of woods, the finesse of leathers, the beauty of fabrics made for the world’s greatest since 1860…
All materials are sourced from French and European companies, to ensure maximum traceability of supplies for the manufacture of customized hangers and dressing room accessories.

Once you’ve chosen the hangers you’d like to customize, you can choose from over 70 different leathers and fabrics for your top-of-the-range hangers. All stages in the sheathing of a luxury wooden hanger are carried out manually by skilled craftsmen. Quality control of hides before cutting, cutting of leather pieces, slitting, assembly of leathers before sheathing, gluing of hanger and leather and sheathing of the customized hanger according to the different collections. It’s a pleasure to visit the workshops and see this goldsmith’s work being carried out with such passion and meticulousness. It’s a real demonstration of the savoir-faire of Made in France and EPV companies.

Manufacturing in detail

  • Manual application of varnish, lacquer and paint in all Pantone, RAL and countertype colors.
  • Velvet textile flocking on all substrates
  • 3D interactive hanger configurator, the only one of its kind in the world, allowing you to immediately visualize your choices. You can personalize your garments right down to the very end of the hook, not forgetting, of course, the option of inserting your logo on luxury hangers.
  • Choice of hook colors, trouser bar for suit hangers, bar with clips for suit hangers, notches on shoulders, non-slip velvet flocking on shoulders.
  • The option of affixing your signature (logo or initials) to your luxury designer hanger, and different types of branding possible depending on the materials used: pad printing or laser printing on wooden hangers, and embroidery, gilded iron or digital printing on leather hangers.

“Our long and rich experience in the world of dressing rooms and craftsmanship enables us to design the ultimate in exclusivity. Authentiques Paris can design customized furniture, dressing rooms and wine cellars, as well as all the accessories you need for your comfort, according to your needs and to realize a project born of your imagination“.
