Sculptures by Wim Delvoye


Belgian neo-conceptualist Wim Delvoye is known for his re-interpretations of classic art.  By taking the classic symbols of Romantic and Gothic sacred art (crucifixes, towering spires, mythological sculpture) and twisting their forms into the shapes and forms of contemporary art and science.  His recent show, “Rorschach” at Galerie Perrotin in Paris, extended this practice, offering a selection of works that continued to use sacred and classical art to turn a lens on modernity.

Dolce & Gabbana Menswear A/W 2014

Are you 'Game of Thrones' fan? If yes then you'll definitely be delighted with this collection. Dolce & Gabbana's new A/W 14 menswear seem like a response to Alexander McQueen's A/W 13 medieval craze. Although D&G doesn't feel as sharp as McQueen in playing around with historical references, I still love most of the designs - just look and the sweatshirts and these incredible printed suits! Also, I think it's good to see gothic aesthetic being taken away from pigeonholed subcultural cliche and reapproached in a fresh, interesting manner. Enjoy!
