2019 has been a great 12 months for fashion programming on Netflix's streaming platform. From displays like Queer Eye to Styling Hollywood, and even the documentary The Art of Design, Netflix has proved once once more there's no genre it cannot dominate.
Most not too long ago, the streaming multi-millionaire released No Time for Shame (No Hay Tiempo Para la Vergüenza), a six-part sequence that follows Santiago Artemis, a Buenos Aires fashion "dynamo," and gives an intimate look into the Ushuaia-born sartorial designer as he juggles his famous person clients, therapist, and love lifestyles.
But who is this Santiago and why have you by no means heard of him sooner than? Keep studying for the whole lot you wish to have to understand about the 28-year-old fashionista, plus how to observe the rising icon on social media.
Netflix's Santiago Artemis fulfills his goals of dressing his favorite singer.
Santiago has been a name within the fashion global for some time. A 2017 interview in V Magazine known as the then-25-year-old South America's "enfant terrible," and the designer had already dressed the likes of Katy Perry, Lana Del Rey, and Britney Spears by means of then.
The young designer, who boldly states in his No Time for Shame trailer that he "personally" doesn't "believe in gender," objectives to make clothes that are for males, females, and everybody in between. What precisely that would look like in terms of cloth and thread is what carries Santiago from his studio to his therapist's place of business and to venting to his boyfriend all through the collection.
For a while now, Santiago has been drawing inspiration from the zeitgeist at large, in addition to the arena of American pop culture. "Most of the things I'm inspired by come from the United States," he stated to V, mentioning Lady Gaga, Alexis Coly from Dynasty and Cyndi Lauper as temper board icons.
He additionally adores Xuxa, the Brazilian singer, who calls him for a get dressed in No Time for Shame's fifth episode. The catch? Santiago is in the course of dealing with the most important collection, but this chance to decorate his adolescence icon is too large to cross up.
"I was so inspired by TV and Hollywood growing up, especially E! and cheesy reality shows like that," he persevered to V. "Growing up with those platforms gave me the tools to start doing designs based on that. It's about being honest with your inspiration and being like, 'Okay, I'm based on that.' I don't have any trouble saying that."
Santiago hails from the top of the world — practice him on social media.
Montauk, N.Y. can eat its center out as a result of the real "end of the world," so far as Santiago sees it (this author will agree, as an Argentine), is his native land of Ushuaia. "I come from a very particular city because it's the southernmost city," he says in Episode 1 of his display.
"It's literally the end of the world," he continues. "And it built up my personality and my character." After growing up in Ushuaia, Santiago pursued his fashion studies in Buenos Aires, at Escuela Argentina de Moda, and later honed his craft at FADU, where he involved in pattern-making and pattern building.
"It's super weird," he said in his interview with V, "that I came from a small town with just snow and mountains, no fashion at all." "People ask how the fashion is over there, and the thing is we have no fashion in Ushuaia, there's nothing. I'm so blessed and I count my blessings," he says.
Santiago has no doubt changed the fashion legacy of his place of origin after he launched into his profession on the age of 14. "I was actually honored by the town's mayor with a distinction," he said. "It's still so weird." Follow his designs on Instagram and stay up-to-the-minute together with his collections.
No Time for Shame is now streaming on Netflix.
