ROME FASHION WEEK: BALESTRA
By Eva Fydrych
Born in Trieste, Renato Balestra comes from a family of architects and engineers and after a childhood stepped in the Mid-European cultural environment of the area, he too began studying for a degree in civil engineering. However, even from the earliest days of his youth he dedicated most of his time to artistic activities, including both painting and music, and devoted several hours per day to studying the piano. He is still a passionate connoisseur of both classical music and opera. It was not until the last year of his engineering studies, however, that he became involved in fashion, creating a design in response to a bet made among friends. Without his knowledge the result was sent to Milan and, to his great surprise, he was invited to participate in the creation of a haute couture collection. It is fair to say that fashion chose Renato Balestra, rather then Renato Balestra choosing fashion.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Born in Trieste, Renato Balestra comes from a family of architects and engineers and after a childhood stepped in the Mid-European cultural environment of the area, he too began studying for a degree in civil engineering. However, even from the earliest days of his youth he dedicated most of his time to artistic activities, including both painting and music, and devoted several hours per day to studying the piano. He is still a passionate connoisseur of both classical music and opera. It was not until the last year of his engineering studies, however, that he became involved in fashion, creating a design in response to a bet made among friends. Without his knowledge the result was sent to Milan and, to his great surprise, he was invited to participate in the creation of a haute couture collection. It is fair to say that fashion chose Renato Balestra, rather then Renato Balestra choosing fashion.The move from Milan to Rome was rapid, and although still undecided on exactly what path to take, Renato Balestra was convinced that his future lay in fashion design. For a number of years, he designed for the theatre, the cinema, and naturally, the fashion world until the success of the first Renato Balestra label collections convinced him to choose the latter option. From Via Sistina where the Balestra shop had its headquarters, he began his rise to international fame, developing and creating a variety of activities.
Today, Renato Balestra designs and markets approximately thirty different ranges that include haute couture and ready-to-wear collections, a complete line of men's wear and a wide range of accessories. His private clients include prestigious clients from all over the world. Renato Balestra has designed clothes for the Empress Farah Diba, the Queen of Thailand, the first ladies of the Philippines and Egypt, Saudi Arabian Princesses and for leading celebrities of the international jet-set, not forgetting, of course, famous actresses. A lover of the active life, he is especially fond of travel. He feels that the best way to learn about life is to discover countries, cultures and people from all over the world, becoming acquainted with their ways of life, their philosophies, their customs and their religions.
Throughout his career, Renato Balestra has been invited to present his collections all over the world, with enormous international success. He has also been awarded prestigious prizes in recognition of his talent. Website: http://www.renatobalestra.it

Italian Fashion Week is a Toronto based event celebrating the artistry of Italian fashion and presenting some of Italy's finest brands. Moda Danza - Art in Motion took place in a Glass Factory on Thursday, April 14, 2011.
A unique event showcasing an exquisite fashion in a spectacular way, combined two worlds together: fine fashion and contemporary dance. The show was full of passion and emotions, creative and artistic - something very different from the usual catwalk shows. An excellent performance by talented dancers from Pro Arte Danza, great choreography and interesting concept behind the show made it a very successful event. The performance, filmed by Fashion Television, was followed by a cocktail party.
Fashion has always been an important part of Italian culture and society. Milan
