Dalí's Dolls






1. Surrealist Exhibition, Paris 1938
2. Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2009
2. Vogue Cover, April 1944
3. Portrait by George Platt Lynes

Handsome young Dalí and his mannequin. Foam wigs and breast cutouts. The former Rei Kawakubo? Vogue cover and lobster bikini. How would his hypothetical Spring/Summer 2013 collection look like?

Quantum Mirage







Glass house Philip Johnson, 1949



Black stone mosaic. Black leather psycho divan. May a new life begin. It's my imaginary therapist's consultation. I have achieved nothing yet.

Miusing Escher IV



1. Miu Miu Spring/Summer 1997
2. M. C. Escher Blowball, 1943

The last Miu Miu flower from me to you. I especially picked a dandelion as it is the most beautiful of them all. And if you blow it carefully, it might recur again in 50 years.

Miusing Escher II



1. Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2002
2. M. C. Escher Drawing Hands, 1943

Exploring the iconic. The thought of perpetual existence. As this thought is both naïve and surreal, the attraction towards it gradually increases. And to be honest, sometimes it is nice to lie to oneself. Believing the illusion.

Suggestion #9


Noguchi table, 1944

Life wouldn't be complete without a Japanese classic. Black triangular shapes creating the optical illusion of lightness and floatation. And always remember: the joy of giving is priceless.
