Hello, I'm Your Host! :)

Hey Everyone,

Great to meet you :) Photo by Chris Hennis.

It's been a long while since the last post. Here is why:

Fashion Beat TV was originally run in a more formal way. This made creating and publishing content dependent on several things and people falling in to place on time. This method will change from now on.

For those of you who don't know me yet, allow me introduce myself. My name is Karim Theilgaard. I started this project a couple of years ago aiming to create a platform to inspire and develop connections between creative people through the production of a tv show and blog posts. It is difficult to maintain that when relying on people's free time and on no budget. Also, I have been busy with uni, studying in London and Paris doing an MSc Marketing & Creativity at ESCP Europe, as well as working on several film and music projects alongside this project.

Hence, I plan to make Fashion Beat TV more personal; as a showcase for what I find interesting and inspirational, as well as a platform to share my own projects with you! The main focus will be on maintaining the Fashion Beat TV Facebook Page but I also regularly update my own Karim Theilgaard Facebook Page. So check them both out and Like them. That way we can regularly share our collective creative output.

Welcome to a new, more personal Fashion Beat TV! And don't forget to get in touch if you would like to share your work and feature here or on the show. Alternatively, if you would like to showcase my projects, whether it's an interview about my film and music, do a photo shoot or video - you name it! please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Thanks for your support and have a creative day
-Karim

ART: Introducing Estonian Artist Küllike Pihlap

Küllike Pihlap at her latest exhibition "FOLK".

Having just finished a slew of exhibitions in Estonia with her series of images being described in the media as representing "The Landscape as a Concert Hall" Küllike shares her thoughts on Artists' Creativity and their Audience.

 - Musicians and artists both have the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them from thought into reality. The process involves original thinking and then production. Some use instruments, others colors, canvas, pencils, crayons etc.

"Rhythm II"

The process of creation was historically reserved for deities creating "from nothing" in Creationism and other creation myths. But there are others who don't have  the capabilities or desire to create themselves. However, this does not mean that they do not enjoy music or the arts. The audience is important to the artists for generating feedback. Listeners and viewers enjoy the emotional charge, atmosphere and they get a sense of joy from the creative output by for example musicians.

Creative people have a need to create something all the time. It is a need that wants to get out and can not be suppressed. To live a full life, Creatives need to develop their work, deal with it, to experience, to see the results and to communicate with their audience. - Küllike Pihlap.
