Art x Oufit Edit #32 David Smith was one of the leading artist of the Abstract Expressionist movement. ‘Sculpture,’ wrote David Smith in 1951, ‘is as free as the mind; as complex as life’. Smith is famous for his work on steel, a skill he honed working in a car factory. His inspirations are deeplyContinue reading “It’s all about how Smith frames it”

Lichtenstein, after Schlemmer
Art x Outfit Edit #31 Many things can happen strolling around New York, but few are as exquisite as running into an unexpected gem. Granted, Gagosian often showcases blue chip gems. But for all I know about Roy Lichtenstein, I had never seen his piece Bauhaus Stairway Mural (1989), currently exposed at one of the ChelseaContinue reading “Lichtenstein, after Schlemmer”
Van Gogh Night Café
Art x Fashion Edit #30 As the tickets for the Van Gogh at Auvers-sur-Oise exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay appear to be the most prized and hardest to get possession in Paris this winter, I am reminiscing about being actually able to see some of Van Gogh’s masterpieces. One of my all time favorites isContinue reading “Van Gogh Night Café”
Stores x Museums
The status of Andy Warhol as a precursor of pop art does not need further illustration. He was a visionary whose impact is still spectacularly tangible. First, in the art world with for example Takashi Murakami to cite only him. Second, in the commercial world with consumerism still being a defining characteristic of Western cultures.Continue reading “Stores x Museums”
Paris’ Delaunay
Art x Outfit Edit #29 Rain, cold, grey… Winter is definitely coming… Yet, there is still space for some transitional pieces, or, better said, for delusional fashion choices worth taking the risk to catch a cold.

Morisot’s Party Tip
Art x Fashion Edit #28 For a very long time, and probably like most of you were (or still are), I was oblivious to the amazing talent of Berthe Morisot. Yet, she is one of the most important artist of the Impressionist movement. With Mary Cassatt, she is among the only two women who wereContinue reading “Morisot’s Party Tip”

de Staël’s Arcadia
Art x Fashion Edit #27 As one might guess, I am consuming a pretty consistent amount of art. And by pretty consistent, I mean particularly large. Consequently, I have learned to differentiate famous and unknown art, what the art ecosystem labels as good and bad art, and lastly, what I like and not like. ItContinue reading “de Staël’s Arcadia”
Loewe x Lynda Benglis
Loewe, again, I know. Well what can I say, Loewe is currently one of the most interesting brands when it comes to the intersection of art and fashion. JWA perfectly masters the meaning-creating potential of the now usual collaborations between artists and designers. For the SS24 collection presented this past September 29th, the Spanish houseContinue reading “Loewe x Lynda Benglis”
