Jap Rap

It's spring time in Japan. Cherry trees are blossoming and this is a small tribute to the beauty of a land and its marvellous people. Japanese models are…

THE WHITE MUSEUM

There's only one place in the worldwide web that offers a pause from the neverending flow of images, constantly bombing our retina which is, ironically, shaped like a web too. This place is called The White Museum and its rank in the search engines of Google is growing steadily. The interesting part is that Google is now displaying on its pages an ever greater number of blank spaces, since The White Museum displays white artworks only. The established Art World is trying to stop the trend,… Continue

EXTREME ART MINIMALISM

White is the new black. The White Museum strikes again with a new collection of pieces that, along their cunning, ironic titles, denonunce the emptiness of that particular branch of Contemporary Art that still indulges in pre-revolutionary times. The world has changed, and the White Museum is the first open wake up call to the…

DENIM AT THE TIME OF GIORGIONE

 

The question is not trivial: was denim already known at the time of Giorgione? This painting finally throws a sunbeam 

to the topic. The Madonna is, without doubt, wearing a denim poncho, while the sheperds both wear, respectively, a

stone washed denim shirt and a sleeveless jacket. Interesting enough, the jeans seems to be the only piece of cloth 

that is really enduring the…

TREND: OLD CAMERA, NEW PHOTOGRAPHY, The Anti Digital Revolution.

Digital photography, thanks to its user-friendly interface, automatic setting of every variable, digital filtering, and

correction in post production, generated a crowd of lousy photographers. It's not rare to meet with professionals in the

fashion industry who even shoot filming the scene, then selecting with stop frame the right picture. The set looks like

something…

STUDEBAKER CHAMP TATTOO

This is the first time I see something different and daring. A beautiful body, indeed, and I'm not talking about the lady, of course, but about the Studebaker Champ truck, a model that really deserves to stick to her skin. The trend of car tattoing is growing. Boys like their favorite car to be stamped on their arm or chest, but somebody pushes further, placing trucks and submarines, like some Russian…

POSTMODERN JAPANESE LOLLIPORN

THE CHILDISH SOCIETY brings us another sweet surprise. The marshmellowish postmodern lolliporn lingerie made of an assembly of ski socks, pins, laces, playing cards, coupons and lots of cherry parfume. The casual pinkiness is masterplanned in advance, with a careful pick…

WE ARE THE LOSERS.

I'm very sorry to make improper use of the Envy and I apologize with Samantha Lim for posting, every now and then, a topic which has very little to do with fashion cool stuff. But, you see, I can't look at future trends if I don't take my time and stop to look in the rear mirror.…

SEX IS NOT FOR REPRODUCTION by The White Museum

The title of this work is: SEX IS NOT FOR REPRODUCTION.

The oeuvre is not signed. The artist is unknown (still, for how long?) I picked this painting from the collection of the now famous WHITE MUSEUM, a digital exposition on Tumblr which is causing a stir in the modern art world. The idea of a white canvas is not new. Think of Malevic or any…

CHANEL NEW YORK: THE HOLY TWIN GODDESS OF FASHION.

Last Friday I bumped into a window shop that literally stole my eyes. On display at Chanel, 600 Madison Avenue, New York, you can see the Holy Twin Goddess of Fashion yourself, if you hurry. You will have the chance to pray, in front of the precious double statue, for a blessing from the Olympus of Luxury, as long as you don't wish for a discount, which is blasphemy. The twin Goddess of Fashion, if you show…

THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S POINT OF VIEW

 When you are behind the camera the world shrinks into the viewfinder

and whatever you are going to shoot is something you feel you are stealing from reality,

peeping through the hole like a thief-voyeur. And when you click the button

and the image shoots through the lens into reversed…

ARCHETYPE AND DECORATION

Ben Heine produces eye-catching portraits made out of circles. In the painting above, Marilyn's face surface from the geometric pattern of elements which work together like "circles in a circus", with an amazing progression that reminds us of fractals. This is the result of a careful…

WE LOVE PARIS!

THIS GIRL IS PROUDLY WEARING A PAIR OF PARIS HILTON'S ORIGINAL SHOES! WOW! 

These shoes are really something stilish. I have never seen such a good balance between true style and good taste in my life. No wonder! I think Paris Hilton is one of the greatest fashion designers on Earth. Why does she sing, why does she model, why does she keep her real estate empire? She should just concentrate on SHOES and, of course, also t-shirts, swimwear and lingerie. I mean, whatever she does, is…

THE BRAND, THE DRESS, THE CONTENT AND THE CONTAINER: An essay on Prada.

This photo is a watershed in the history of contemporary fashion, no less.

It portrays a lifeless young woman, reminding us of a porcelain doll but also a replicant dancer

out of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. It is exhausted and bloodless, her skin the same…

Talking about low impact on the environment, here's a new line you can wear to reduce your footprint on the planet. 

This is not exactly a new fashion label, but the work of a photographer with a kind spirit and an eye for color matching. 

This inspiring art direction could be used to promote a new…
