Damir Doma’s Silent space (NYC)

Dan Thawley — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:49:07 +0000

Damir Doma calls his diffusion line “SILENT“, referring to the quiet, timeless place that the designer retreats to whenever starting a collection. For Spring 2012 he brings a slice of that tranquil aesthetic to New York city, with a pop-up store on Howard Street in Soho.

Echoing the season’s print (inspired by African bodypainting) the façade of the street-level store has been hand-painted with monochrome stripes, and the interior decorated with life-size b&w posters by the French photographed Sybille Walter.

Check it out at 22D Howard Street NYC from this week until early May.

Fashion Weeks by Maxime Ballesteros

Reba Maybury — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:53:54 +0000

Considering that Fashion Week pretty much looks the same everywhere we haven’t described the whereabouts of each photograph taken by Maxime. Although he did take these in Paris, Copenhagen and Berlin.

Bonds of Love, ‘Story of O’

Eugenia Lapteva — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 22:10:56 +0000

Hailed as one of the most notorious erotic novels of all times, Story of O follows the beautiful young Parisian woman as she falls into the fateful clutches of her lover’s sadomasochistic urges. She submits to the life of a slave and surrenders herself completely to the terrifying bonds of desire. The book was written in 1954 by the French author Anne Desclos under the nom de plume of Pauline Réage and in 2000 it was illustrated by the Italian comics artist Guido Crepax.

‘Keep me rather in this cage, and feed me sparingly, if you dare. Anything that brings me closer to illness and the edge of death makes me more faithful. It is only when you make me suffer that I feel safe and secure. You should never have agreed to be a god for me if you were afraid to assume the duties of a god, and we all know that they are not as tender as all that. You have already seen me cry. Now you must learn to relish my tears.’

Patrik Ervell A/W 2012

Reba Maybury — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:19:39 +0000

Tim Blanks has cleverly analysed Patrik Ervell’s latest New York Fashion week collection for Style.com. With an authoritarian influence Ervell described the collection in his own words as the ‘moments of protest that emerge through the cracks and edges of a heavily policed state’. Creating his collection around concepts of the uniform Blanks likens the clothing to ‘those of urban commandos’ and ‘a Blade Runner -ish combo of tech and retro’.

Chains and leaves have been with us a long time. We have all decided what they mean.

Jeanne-Salome Rochat — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:53:37 +0000

In groups, when first gathered, they receive direction. They ask questions about chains. The ones they like best will be mirrored by one hand rising into the air. Their bottoms will not rise into the air, no, not now. So sitting, they wait until they are asked the question they like best. They raise their hands. Some of them do not raise their hands. Some of them raise two hands. These second hands are severed with the metal edge of a yardstick. The severed hands are confiscated and placed in the drawer where unauthorized items gather. The stump is placed underneath their bottoms. Only one hand may rise. One or none.

Place your knees on our throats and we choose you. We love what is green. We love what is good. Place your knees. There is no you. We mean, not now. Now we want you to love us. There is no you. Place your knees. Dig deeper. Dig for the green. When we wake, you are us. There is no you. We are born deep beneath the earth. We are not green. We take the chains. We love what is good. There is no you.

They wait in their seats to be asked. They know that they will be asked and this is good. It is good to practice the raising and the choosing. Now they must decide what colors they like. No matter how much of their hands rattle in the air they will only be counted once. There is only one value each hand may assume. We know that this is good. We love what is good.
