Fashion x Art #13 HAPPY NEW YEAR and thanks to all of you who consult this blog regularly, or simply peep here and there! Now a few days into the new year, some of the resolutions we invariably took are starting to fade. I probably will not be meditating everyday or keeping my desktop perfectlyContinue reading “Lichtenstein’s Superheroine”

Klimt’s Festivities
Fashion x Art #12 As the festive season settles in along with shiny lights and glittery decorations, I was reminded of how powerful and confident a good outfit can make one feel in times of hardship (read, family time, sigh). One of the most courageous female figures in the Bible, Judith, saved her people byContinue reading “Klimt’s Festivities”
Park’s Escapism
Fashion x Art Edit #11 Recently, I was scrolling on Instagram (yes, I know, nothing new under the sun), and I stumbled upon a post by one of my friends, Alex Bass of Salon 21, who posted an artwork by GaHee Park. After browsing the website of Galerie Perrotin, which represents the Korean artist, IContinue reading “Park’s Escapism”
Katz’ Ada — xxx
Fashion x Art Edit #10 A few weeks back, I visited the Alex Katz retrospective at the Guggenheim and was struck by the portrait of his wife Ada in The Black Dress (1960). In this painting, the model is painted in several evolving positions as if she was moving. But contrary to the pop artistsContinue reading “Katz’ Ada — xxx”
Othoniel’s Metal
Fashion x Art Edit #8 As Winter is around the corner and puffer jackets are about to get out our closets, I recently stumbled upon an oversized, bulbous and shiny coat that reminded me of Jean-Michel Othoniel’s sculptures like Lotus Miroir from 2018. Jean-Michel Othoniel is a French multidisciplinary artist represented notably by Galerie Perrotin,Continue reading “Othoniel’s Metal”
Paul Klee’s Fall
Style x Art Edit #7 Paul Klee’s Senecio, completed in 1922, encompasses several recurring themes in the artist’s body of works. Namely, his interest in the interdependence of color, line, and form through abstract geometric shapes. In this painting understood to represent the face of an old man (Senecio in latin), one can identify referencesContinue reading “Paul Klee’s Fall”
Henri Matisse’s Pink
Fashion x Art Edit #6 As I have said before, Barbiecore is here to stay for a good chunk of time. From Valentino’s PP Pink runway show to high street labels, everyone is getting into the hot pink trend reminiscent of Y2K. But hot pink is not the only color going through a revival, itContinue reading “Henri Matisse’s Pink”
Farewell to an icon
Fashion Edit #6 Andy Warhol, Reigning Queens (Royal Edition): Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom 1985, part of the British Royal Collection On September 8th, 2022, the world lost a piece of history. While monarchy and the Queen herself are rife with political and social debates, there is no debate she was an iconContinue reading “Farewell to an icon”
The Birth of Venus
Fashion x Art Edit #5 I probably owe it to Queen Bey to have taken a trip down Art Historical Renaissance icons (among other things, but don’t we all owe her something?). The matter is, with the comeback of Y2K fashion and the rise of resale platforms, the overall zeitgest for renewal increasingly features aContinue reading “The Birth of Venus”
Soulages’ Outrenoir
Pierre Soulages is among the most successful French painter of his generation. Over a career spanning decades (he was born in 1919), his style evolved to what he now is most famous for: monochromatic black canvanses. But the particularity of Soulages’ black is that it is so deep and dense, mixing oil painting and resin,Continue reading “Soulages’ Outrenoir”
