Canvas Magazine » Art Brut. Art Brut is Maria Francesca Pepe’s first experiment merging her jewellery to a more commericially-focused womenswear and accessories collection. The concept behind Art Brut is to create interchangeable pieces, where design and functionality merge with ornament and wearability. Geometric dresses are adorned with jewellery pieces that form collars, bags are given distinctive hardware with gold and silver rings for clutch fastenings.
Having originally studied womenswear at Central St. Martin’s Maria accidentally found her focus shifting towards jewellery design. Pieces sewn onto her graduate collection caught the attention of the buyers and press; as a consequence Maria chose to enter the fashion market with an accessories range. Clever thinking, considering the impact of statement-piece jewellery designs in the collections for the major luxury houses. Collaborations with Roksanda Illnic and a fan base that includes Roison Murphy have cemented her as a designer to watch. Related posts: Frozen by Susanne Klemm. Susanne Klemm regards nature as her inexhaustible source of inspiration and is moved to intervene in the endless rhythm of growth and decay to add a touch of immortality to the happenings. The demiurge captures these moments using a fine plastic covering around objects such as fruit, twigs and flowers, freezing them in time and – paradoxically – thus bringing nature to full bloom.
Susanne Klemm captures and holds the past. Where does nature end – where does art begin? Or is the relationship the other way round? Text by Silvia Hugi Nature is present in every creation of Susanne Klemm. During one year Susanne Klemm had the opportunity to install a temporary workshop in a formal brothel in the Red-light-district of Amsterdam. Prostitution around a church is a very strange combination, jewellers in brothels too. Sources www.susanneklemm.com. Very Beryl Blog - London Fashion Week 2011 - Funky Kitsch Jewellery by Very Beryl. Fashion Mode invited Very Beryl to be a sponsor for their press bags at the London Fashion Week catwalk show in September. Fashion Mode are a company that nurture the hottest talent in the fashion industry believing that the up and coming designers fresh off the graduate runway are the life force behind London’s fashion scene.
They are currently mentoring three designers Carlotta Actis Barone, Florian Jayet and James Hillman. Fashion Mode presented the Spring Summer 2012 collections of these three designers at the The Fashion Scout in the Freemasons Hall as part of London Fashion Week. Here is my pick of favourite pieces from each designer at the show: Carlotta Actis Barone presented her collections under the concept “the stolen liberty and beauty associated with prostitution”. Florian Jayet took his inspiration from Japanese culture and clothing. James Hillman’s creativity lies in the way his clothes are stiched – the seams are not where they are usually found.
The Artist Unleashed: INSPIRED BY A PROSTITUTE, by Alyssa Linn Palmer. In a converted railway station, crowded with visitors, I first saw Edouard Manet’s ‘Olympia’ in the flesh. So to speak. It blew my mind. A quick bit of backstory: I took a Fine Arts degree at university, so to see the ‘Olympia’ (and other works at the Musée d’Orsay) in person…it was a bit like a Christian pilgrim catching their first glimpse of the Sancta Camisa at the cathedral in Chartres.
Manet’s ‘Olympia’ was first exhibited in 1865 and caused quite a shock, because his work, influenced by Titian’s ‘Venus of Urbino’ and Giorgione’s ‘Sleeping Venus’, does not have as its subject a goddess. Olympia is a prostitute. Seeing ‘Olympia’ in its full glory, all 75 inches of oil on canvas, is a far different experience than looking at a photograph in a book, or even a slide during an art history lecture. And what does this have to do with writing? It inspired my novella, just out from Bold Strokes Books, entitled The Artist’s Muse.

Is New York Fashion Week Ready for French Underage Prostitute-Turned-Designer Zahia Dehar? Because She’s Coming! One of our favorite fashion characters to emerge of late is ex-underage French prostitute Zahia Dehar, who has gone on to launch a successful lingerie line and counts Karl Lagerfeld as an admirer and collaborator.
After staging two "couture" lingerie shows in Paris the past two seasons, we received word that the bombshell is bringing her brand of sexy to the US. In case you need a little refresher, Dehar, now 20, was involved with European footballers in an underage prostitution scandal several years ago when she was 16. As a matter of fact, the case is still progressing (more on that here), with players denying they knew she was underage. Dehar was never charged with a crime, and she's pulled herself up by her (lacey thigh-high) boot straps and reinvented herself, launching an eponymous lingerie line that has been embraced by fashion world, getting painted by famous artists, and generally making herself over as a celeb in her native France.
Sabyasachi- Talented Designer based in India. Sabyasachi's design philosophy is very simple and clear. Deserts, gypsies, prostitutes, antique textiles and cultural traditions of his home town, Kolkata have been a lifelong inspiration for him. He believes that clothes should just be an extension of one's intellect. He uses unusual fabrics, texturing and detailing, 'fusion' of styles with gorgeous embellishments in a vibrant eclectic colour palette to make the feeling of going back to the ancient and medieval ages. He describes his own collections as 'an International styling with an Indian soul'. Discovered him Today, while reading Indian Vogue (it's in English, no i do Not know indian.
