Margaux Lange

For Barbie’s lovers, but also for all those who ever wished to see Barbie dead and dismantled…

as usual, the fine balance in between desire and disgust in Margaux Lange’s jewels…

Whether you love her or hate her, there are few who feel neutral about the plastic princess. I am fascinated with who she is as a cultural icon, her distinguished celebrity status, and the enormous impact she has had on our society. Specifically, I’m intrigued with her influence in defining gender roles of women in contemporary American culture…

…I enjoy the funny juxtaposition of wearing the body, on the body. Barbie has become the accessory instead of being accessorized. I take pleasure in the contrast and contradiction of something mass-produced being transformed and revealed as a unique, handmade, wearable piece of art.”

ITS#8

Time has come. ITS is back!!!

ITS is a platform created and developed by E V E, in cooperation with DIESEL, YKK and MINI.  Starting from this year CRYSTALLIZED™ will offer the CRYSTALLIZED™ Accessories Award. Finalists have the chance to freely use CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements to create their collections.

Since its firts edition, this competion spots out some of the most interesting and creative talents in fashion & accessories design and, recently, photography. Every year l search the entire archives for my posts…

The 2009 call for entries has just started!! Enrollment deadline is march, the 25th. Hurry up!! It’s a huge opportunity.

As written in the press release,ITS#EIGHT, with a restyled website is glad to announce “THE GREATEST SHOW OF ALL!” In good old fashioned style, we will take you through a bizarre early-20th Centuriesque carnival of acrobats, magicians, mechanical wonders, side shows and more. This is the realm of mystery and fun, where you can see your future with the flip of a coin, challenge the greatest escape artists or get spooked with a ride through the tunnel of terror. The main attractions are the “8 Wonders Of The Modern World”. We will present 8 unbelievable shows, which originate from 8 images of last year’s projects and will develop through ever present concepts of creativity and inspiration. The 3 areas of the competition, and the relative exhibitions and shows, will be represented by 3 different elements of the carnival: The Sideshow, The Magic Show and The Circus. The theme guarantees that the ITS#EIGHT live event will be spectacular.”
