Spatial Yellow
Anish Kapoor – Yellow, 1999
That’s not a trompe l’oeil painting, that’s a fibreglass and pigment sculpture. The negative space used in such a “positive” way. Looks pretty fantastic, huh? Here’s another Kapoor lesson of re-inventing space by smart simple means and genuine use of true colors.
Fashionable Hybrid Concepts
… Manish Arora or vintage Thierry Mugler?
Ah, the Flowers!
“The moment we live in is a great time to make art. We have different technologies to play with, and we’re left with the opportunity to focus on our work.“ (Jeff Koons)
That’s Jeff Koons, playin’ one of his favorite “artistic” themes: the balloon flowers .
I don’t know why, this last image reminded me of Yamamoto’s inflatable skirt, from his S/S 2011 Collection (although these 2 artists have absolutely nothing in common, in fact I used to think that they’re quite opposite..).

McQueen
Cathy Horyn’s Studio visits. This time, she talks to Alexander McQueen’s Sarah Burton about craftsmanship, inspiration, heritage. Plus, those stunning images of Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2012 Collection.
Tom Ford vs. Romanian Blouse
“… I’ve streamlined things more this season. I think I’m very classic, because what I do is always based on something you’ve seen before. And yes, maybe there’s something YSL about it. When I left off designing for women, I was at YSL so I’m working through that to be me, asking myself, What do I like? What defines your brand?” confessed Tom Ford to Vogue
Isn’t he adorable?
*Romania Peasant Blouse is already famous for inspiring artists worldwide, as Matisse and Yves Saint Laurent. Tom Ford did a wonderful job, too ( he always knows precisely what the women need ! ).
