A Short History Of The Bandeau Top In Popular Culture

1. Prada Lookbook Spring/Summer 2009
2. Salvador Dali Venus de Milo with drawers, 1916
3. Tamara de Lempicka La Chemise Rose, 1933
4. Prada Spring/Summer 2001, Fall/Winter 2006, Spring/Summer 2009 & Spring/Summer 2012

An embrace of the feminine figure, the voluptuous form. Just like a Petrarchan sonnet, Miuccia's bandeau caresses the woman's firm breasts, articulating admiration for the sensitive and untouched. A signature idea that secretely strives for mainstream acceptance.

The moustache of Salvador Dalí, this significant curl. And the theatrical work of Julien D'Ys. The man behind the hair at Comme des Garçons. The connection between Salvador and Rei evolves.

Work in progress. Artworks as a result of work. Art as an excuse for sexual workout. Word of mouth and work of hands. Handmade trips of artistic ecstasy. Champagne at gallery openings. Surreal thoughts.

Predestination

Salvador Dalí The Enigma of Wilhelm Tell, 1933

A perfect sunday. A day of impressions. A closer look at one certain piece of art. It made me realize: Buying sandals in winter is not more surreal than the work of Salvador Dalí.

Replica III

Horst Meier vs. Salvador Dalí



Shirt Marc Jacobs
Reversed waistcoat Vintage
Bowl Habitat

Salvador Dalí's landscape paintings usually request a 300 pages handbook to decipher the layered meaning. For my interpretation I replaced the art-historic papers with ripped magazine spreads and advertisements rebuilding a surreal Dalí scenery.
