Nuclear Whiteness

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2012

Once ahead our time... when we live in underground bunkers, artificial brutalist spaces made of concrete, furnished with leather and Persian carpets. Sleeveless will become the uniform. Tribal tattoos will indicate the social rank.

Tea Time

1. Bernhard Willhelm Fall/Winter 2005
2. Meissen porcelain teapot, Bartholomaus Seuter workshop, 1725–1730

More postmodern insanity. Meissen versus Berhnard Willhelm. Classicism versus exotism. The ostentatious, anti-functional porcelain object re-staged with painted human bodies. Decadence.

Bodies Of Decadence

1. Tony Ward by James Armstrong, 1982
2. Mary Katrantzou Spring/Summer 2011

A young Tony Ward's well-defined exterior. And a young Mary Katrantzou's trompe l'œil interior dresses. Pretty surfaces that offer intricate yet delicate insights. Come in and find out.

Freaks

Vases Piero Fornasetti

After seeing It at the weekend, I feel attracted to scary faces and grotesque creatures lurking after me. Oh, by the way, there is a clown hiding in your fridge.
