Petya has had quite an academic kick-start to her designer career – fashion design in high school (with the debut and show awards at the Edit Paff Haute Couture Festival), master degrees in animation and in graphic design, and post-graduate graphic design studies in Oslo. A young mind, Petya sees her life as brainstorming and her style is suitably impulsive and patchy and teeming with experiment. She draws subliminally, to let out feelings. Consequently she works quickly and copiously, rarely for more than a couple of nights on a single image.
For us she created a brand new logo for Star Tattooed, which we pretty much love! It symbolizes a wolf that does the star howling.
And this was a present for her birthday that took part yesterday. Hand arranged collage by 2AM to brand the gift bag. Happy Birthday Petya!
When one of the major dancers in Tina Turner’s Tour 2008-2009 invited me to attend the concert in Paris, my first impression was: Woowww is she always on stage? Then digging into the net my curiosity started to grow: “Is it possible that she is the most selling solo artist of concert tickets?” …. or: ” What is her recipe for selling 180 million albums worldwide?”, etc. etc. …. A lot of questions and only one possibility to find it out.
Arrived there @ 16 March in the crowded Bercy at the last moment and “merci” Djeneba for the VIP pass. I didn’t have to mix with the multi-cultural public that was sooooo varied by age, so there was my first surprise.
Then the show started and I couldn’t stop myself from dancing, taking pictures or singing (yeah I knew almost all of her songs without ever noticing that).
I was quickly captured by the energy that Tina was spreading for 3 hours live.
She was giving all her best…. That mini skirt woman made a maxi show only as she can; Simply The Best!
I left my soul there leaving free!
