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”
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”
Lancôme x Le Louvre
After a quiet Summer in the land of luxury collabs and even more in the land of luxury x art collabs, September is off to a stellar start with the collaboration between the French make-up and skincare brand Lancôme – under the helm of L’Oréal – and no less than the most famous temple ofContinue reading “Lancôme x Le Louvre”
Ferragamo x Gallerie degli Uffizi
It has been quite some time since I have not covered a collaboration between the luxury industry and the art world.

Vogue Paris (France) x Palais Galliera
The exhibition celebrating the 100 years of the Vogue Paris magazine, arguably the most famous fashion magazine in the world, is an opportunity to look at some of the ties between museal institutions and the fashion industry.

Acne Studios x Hilma af Klint
On the (self-)invisibilization of women in creative spheres. Going into 2022, it is safe to say that feminism – and questions related to gender – have permeated every aspect of our societies, or at least, awareness of inequalities have. In many industries and crafts, women have been overlooked and fashion is no exception. Truth is,Continue reading “Acne Studios x Hilma af Klint”
