MONSTERS IN FASHION – Zoot Magazine. Monsters Inc. An exhibition at the Benaki Museum in Athens explores the power of monsters in fashion. Text by Anna Battista PYUUPIRU, Mercury/PLANETARIA, 2001, photo: Masayuki Yoshinaga “Monster” originally comes from Latin and indicates something that appears or manifests itself as extraordinary, or causes amazement and fear by violating the rules of human nature.
The Greek and Latin classics are populated with monstrous mythological figures, think about cyclops, sirens, Cerberus, the Minotaur or Medusa. Yet if Edmund Burke was right and terror associated with danger, fear and pain produces sublime emotions, then monsters have their own irresistible beauty. [/caption] “ARRRGH!” Humorous, scary, disturbing or bizarrely enigmatic, these monsters with their strong visual power tackle perceptions of beauty and ugliness, suprising the visitors and questioning them about their fears and worries.

Artista, illustratore, costume designer, party organiser, fashion editor, project manager…Piers Atkinson possiede certamente tutte le doti attribuibili ad un genio. Uno dei suoi lavori più particolari ed eclettici consiste nella realizzazione di collezioni stagionali, dedicate all’oggettistica per capelli, ispirate a personaggi e ricordi che spaziano ai più svariati generi: dall’infanzia di Topolino e della Barbie fino all’horror orientale e il bondage anni ’30. L’ispirazine diviene anche attrezzo e materiale di lavoro: ecco quindi comparire cappellini, passamontagna, decorazioni, extension esagerate e cartoonesche dallo spiccato sense of humor.

Walter Van Beirendonck Mens F/W 12.13 Paris. Walter van Beirendonck: The Joy of Six. Not satisfied with being been known for inspiring and politicising fashion for nearly thirty years, or curating numerous exhibitions and publications that have seeded discourse on popular culture, Walter van Beirendonck has also been heavily involved in the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Art course since the late 80s. As is sometimes the case with high profile figures attached to subsequently high profile university courses, Walter has much more than a remote connection to the Academy.
He is far from a guest lecturer, and in 2007 became the head of the department. Numerous forward thinking designers have studied under Walter at the Academy over the years including Bernhard Willhelm, Kris Van Assche, and Wim Neels. As we were interviewing him about his long-standing career for the September issue of Dazed & Confused, we decided to ask Walter to highlight a number of his current and recent students that you should definitely keep your eye on in the future.

Accade in una sfilata parigina, che si presenta come una performance di sculture che camminano.Non è una battuta sul mondo della moda, ma la passerella di Walter Van Beirendonck. E di chi altro? Divertito burattinaio di un mondo fatto di personaggi gommosi e batuffolosi pronti a prender vita, spruzzati da una pioggia di colore in un caleidoscopio effetto bubblegum. Tema dominante: la nuvola, piattaforma dei nostri sogni.La sfilata è parte della mostra al Middelheim Museum di Anversa “Wear Me Out” dell’artista Erwin Wurm, che ha collaborato per la creazione degli abiti scultura. Sometimes fashion loses its function and it turns into a playful work of art. Text: Leonardo IuffridaTranslation: Alessandro MancarellaPhotos: Leonardo Iuffrida & Alessandro Mancarella.

WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK AUTUMN/WINTER 2012/13 MEN’S COLLECTION. Designer Daily: Walter Van Beirendonck. Edited by Jessica Lapidos on If you’ve ever been inside of Walter Van Bierendonck ‘s Paris studio, you may be more equipped to make sense of his Fall 2012 collection titled “Lust Never Sleeps”. If you haven’t stood witness to his collection of banners with anime versions of himself riding on rainbows, mushrooms and male nether-regions, nor his future final resting grounds of a cartoon sarcophagus and his ode to all the boys, drugs and fashion a.k.a. things he loves, this trompe-l’oeil culture clashing runway journey may blow your mind.
When I was a dresser at his Fall 2009 show, his inspiration was the Duk Duk , the symbol of a secret society in Papua New Guinea. Now focused on warriors from the same region and high priests from the Caribbean, he smashed their traditional masks with that of Jason and Western sex-fetishes. Walter Van Beirendonck in mostra .
