  • Ep. 13 Pepita Sandwich: “Es algo muy lindo del arte, poder generar una emoción”

    Ep. 13 Pepita Sandwich: “Es algo muy lindo del arte, poder generar una emoción”
    May 30 2024
    La artista visual argentina Josefina Guarracino, más conocida por su alias Pepita Sandwich, pasó su infancia leyendo Mafalda y dibujando sus propios personajes como una forma de escapar de la vida cotidiana, sin imaginarse nunca que podría convertirse en una carrera. Un punto de inflexión llegó cuando ganó una beca para estudiar fotografía en Milán, donde descubrió su pasión por la ilustración. Ahora, autora publicada con un MFA en Cómics del Center for Cartoon Studies en Vermont y colaboradora frecuente de publicaciones prestigiosas como The Washington Post y The New Yorker, Guarracino está radicada en Nueva York, lanzando su tercer título, "El Arte de Llorar," donde explora la ciencia detrás de nuestras lágrimas.
    Con su estilo de dibujo único y voz ingeniosa, representa a una nueva generación, utilizando sus habilidades narrativas para explorar temas universales como la salud mental, la nostalgia, la diversidad y el feminismo. En este episodio, hablamos sobre su amor por los sándwiches, el proceso de encontrar su pasión y por qué ya no se avergüenza de llorar en público (y por qué nosotros tampoco deberíamos hacerlo).

    Pepita Sandwich: "It's what's beautiful about art, being able to evoke an emotion"

    Argentinian visual artist Josefina Guarracino, better known by her alias Pepita Sandwich, spent her childhood reading Mafalda and drawing her own characters as an escape from everyday life, never imagining it could become a career. A turning point came when she won a scholarship to study photography in Milan, where she discovered her passion for illustration. Now, a published author based in Brooklyn with an MFA in Comics from the Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont and a frequent contributor to prestigious publications such as The Washington Post and The New Yorker, Guarracino is launching her third title, "The Art of Crying," where she explores the science behind our tears.
    With her unique drawing style and clever voice, she represents a new generation, using her storytelling skills to explore universal themes such as mental health, nostalgia, diversity, and feminism. In this episode, we discuss her love of sandwiches, the process of finding her passion, and why she’s no longer ashamed to cry in public (and why we shouldn’t be either).

    Ep. 12 Andrés Oyuela: “Tuve que mudarme a Nueva York para darme cuenta que era colombiano
    May 15 2024
    En el ámbito de la fotografía de moda en América Latina, pocos nombres brillan tan intensamente como el de Andrés Oyuela, nacido en Bogotá. Reconocido por su trabajo en resaltar la belleza latina tradicional que admiraba desde joven, el artista colombiano no comenzó inicialmente su viaje como fotógrafo. Atraído por el mundo creativo a través del cine, fue un momento crucial en su clase de iluminación lo que lo llevó a descubrir su talento para capturar la esencia de las personas a su alrededor.

    Como joven creativo, Oyuela se abrió camino en la industria impulsado no solo por su habilidad, sino también por un carisma irresistible. Esta combinación ganadora le abrió puertas en Vogue y oportunidades para fotografiar luminarias latinoamericanas como Carolina Herrera y J Balvin, entre muchos otros.

    Después de mudarse a Nueva York en busca de un desafío profesional, Oyuela experimentó un momento transformador en su carrera que lo hizo cuestionar el trabajo que estaba haciendo. Fue esta experiencia la que eventualmente le dio paso para establecerse como una voz influyente para la región con una visión creativa firme.

    Acompáñanos mientras nos sumergimos en su narrativa y conocemos más sobre su último proyecto "THINGS YOU MISSED”.

    ANDRES OYUELA: “I had to move to New York to realize I was Colombian”

    In the realm of fashion photography in Latin America, few names shine as brightly as Bogota-born Andres Oyuela. Renowned for his work in highlighting the traditional Latin beauty he grew up admiring, the Colombian artist didn’t initially begin his journey as a photographer. Drawn to the creative world through cinema, it was a pivotal moment in his lighting class that led him to discover his talent in capturing the essence of the people around him.

    As a young creative, Oyuela carved his spot in the industry fueled not only by his skill, but also by an irresistible charisma. This winning combination opened up doors for him at Vogue and opportunities to photograph Latin American luminaries like Carolina Herrera and J Balvin, amongst many others.

    After a relocation to New York in pursuit of a career challenge, Oyuela experienced a transformative moment in his career which made him question the work he was doing. It was this experience that eventually has given way to establishing himself as an influential voice for the region with a steadfast creative vision.

    Join us as we delve into his narrative and learn more about his latest project “THINGS YOU MISSED”.

  • Ep. 11 Jonathan Cohen: “We're not people who like to be comfortable”

    Ep. 11 Jonathan Cohen: “We're not people who like to be comfortable”
    Apr 29 2024
    San-Diego born ready-to-wear designer Jonathan Cohen always harbored ambitions of launching his own brand. Following his education at Parsons School of Design and experience with industry luminaries like Patricia Field and Oscar de la Renta, Cohen and his business partner Sarah Leff took the plunge in 2011. They recognized a gap in the market and sought to “inject more color” diverging from the monotonous black.

    By embracing vivid hues and floral prints inspired by his Mexican roots and California upbringing, Cohen's eponymous brand has made its mark in the New York fashion scene over the past decade. He was recognized as a runner-up in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2018, and gained further acclaim in 2020 for dressing First Lady Dr. Jill Biden on the eve of the presidential inauguration.

    Throughout his journey, Cohen has eschewed conventional industry norms, relying on his personal vision to drive his business forward and navigate obstacles. In this conversation, he reflects on the importance of kindness in the pursuit of success, shares how his creative process has been a journey of self-discovery, and discusses the guiding principles behind his work.
