Art Department: Luis Perez Jauregui

Artworks Luis Perez Jauregui

Luis Perez Jauregui creates character transformations. Consequently, the artist's self-portrait becomes an anti-self-portrait. Still, his body of work comprises a multiplicity of his very own, characteristic personae. I asked him to create a piece for the Art Department series.

He concludes: 'In my opinion, the aesthetic of Lynn & Horst is very clean and minimal, with a dark provocative side to it, so I wanted to create a character that best represented that. The harness is something I made myself specially for this character. It was inspired by the art of S&M and rope bondage. Instead of rope though, I used a strand of metallic beads to transform an otherwise simple harness into something more modern.'

Mean While

Ports 1961 Fall/Winter 2011

While compiling the perfect steel kitchen and being restricted to a range of plastic fantastic design elements, I invite you to have a detailed view on the collection shown above. Depicting the very best use and placement of metal.

The über-model and eternal baby doll. Non-geisha, non-virgin, muse. Sad red lips, white porcelain skin. The face of the nineties and the face of tomorrow. Greatness.

Evolution

1. Christopher Kane Spring/Summer 2012

2. Lebbeus Woods Radical Reconstruction, 1997

3. Roderick Hietbrink The Others, 2011



Interstellar clouds have been replaced by dystopian tube structures. The living organism covered in metallic stretch velvet. In an absurd surrounding, the ironic remains. Survival of the fittest.

The day of the gender apocalypse has come. And it didn't just take a minute, girl. While James Franco and Iggy Pop already sport the (sequin) dress, we wait for the day that department stores depart their respective departments. For men and women.

If life just was a Guccci by Testino campaign. Luckily, Prada brought back the glitter. And hopfully Shirtology will return and bring back the thong. Who's gonna wear it for me?

Glam Rock

Prada Fall/Winter 2011

Of course my forecast was totally wrong. But I had a good intuition for the colour palette and general atmosphere. No bootcut. But cropped. No corduroy. But suede. No paisley. But glitter. Résumé: I could do that.

Suggestion #1

Diamonds & Pearls: Dolce & Gabbana, 2008

This certain time of the year has come. Presenting: the most coveted pieces. Preferably wrapped in expensive glitter paper. Awaiting the warm touch of my hands. Staged under a white plastic christmas tree.

Alienesque

John Galliano Spring/Summer 2003

Porcelain dolls in exuberant colours. Wrapped in tunics, veils, dresses and scarfs. Too much of everything. Too much of romanticism. Too much of orientalism. Overdosage of such a degree only a John Galliano is allowed to.

Identical Iterations

Louise Goldin Fall/Winter 2010

The militaristic uniform principle consequently pursued. Thriving on variations of form and structure. Heart-stoppingly protective yet irritating, creating optical illusions and flat 3D shapes by the use of a forceful quilting technique.

Silver Geegaw Fight

Stella McCartney Fall/Winter 2009 vs. £1 decoration

This coat is multifunctional. It may replace the christmas tree. And it also perfectly serves as new year's decoration.
