Amber Nash Emmys® Creative Arts 2016 Red Carpet

Smart and Dirty ~ Amber Nash

By 4chionlifestyle | September 8, 2017

Amber Nash joins us on the red carpet at the Emmy^® Creative Arts Awards. Her character is Pam Poovey on FX Networks’ Archer. This show allows her to be apart of a smart dirty show.

Nash’s background is comedy, theatre, film, and voiceover. Improv is an important part of her acting world. She continues as time permits to give at Dad’s Garage in Atlantic City. She loves being able to read the audience and respond to the actors on the stage. Moving to a studio setting where she is alone was a change.

Nash said, “it has taken me some time to adjust to the setting after being in the theatre. I am now able to accurately predict how my co-actors will sound and act in each script. My improv training really helped with the adjustment.”

She discusses how much fun and lucky she is to play Pam. Her character is able to say some of the most, “dirty, terrible, horrible things. The writers create such smart content. I love how smart it is. I have to look up references with every script. I am able to learn about the world.”

The fans love Pam and Nash loves her fans. She discussed how important each one is to the show. She said, “some fans even have Pam tattoos.”

She looked fabulous in Adrianna Papell gown, a designer we both enjoy because of her feminine touch and attention to the woman form.

Archer took home 1 Emmy at The Creative Arts for Outstanding Animated Program.

Daniel Chimowitz Art Hearts Fashion Week Front Row Red Carpet 4Chion Lifestyle — Daniel Chimowitz Art Hearts Fashion Week

This year we are partnering with Nevow fashion design for the La Jolla Fashion Film Festival. Daniel Chimowitz, Nevow’s designer, designs Saturday evening red carpet gown. Artist Chimowitz creates walking canvases of painted textiles and upcycled clothing.

Daniel Chimowitz Artist

He is a mix medium artist, an American Fashion and Textile Designer. His intent is bringing art from Galleries and Museums to the street, as a form of Walking Art.

Chimowitz is also known for his painted prints and photography. This will be a perfect look for this fashion film festival. His intent is to bring art from Galleries and Museums to the street, as a form of Walking Art.

Daniel Chimowitz Childhood

Born of Lesbians in London but raised in San Francisco, Chimowitzspent many summers in Europe, mainly London and the Basque Country in Spain. He was exposed to the 70’s & 80’s London punk scene along with the flashier men’s style of the Matadors. His second mother is Tlingit, a Native American from Alaska under the Inuit umbrella of cultural influence. At home he was surrounded by Inuit imagery; the simple lines of the Inuit art are calming and the detail stood out more than any other art he studied.

Chimowitz was raised among the LGBT community, a child of The Castro, which shapes his ideas of fashion and the use of colors and imagery. In his textiles, colors are combined with the punk DIY fashion of London, studs from Spain, and simplistic triangles and circles as the focal point.
