When Hurricane Sandy struck in 2012, its damage extended far beyond flooded streets and darkened skylines. For the Martha Graham Dance Company, the storm resulted in the loss of irreplaceable costumes, sets, and archival materials, objects that carried decades of artistic history. What was destroyed was not only physical, but symbolic. These were artifacts tied directly to the legacy of one of modern dance’s most influential figures.

i don’t really miss you by Lindsay Bottos
Lindsay Bottos’s i don’t really miss you operates in the emotional space between detachment and longing, where language fails and objects take over the work of remembering. Created in 2012, the piece uses momentos, clothing, embroidery hoops, and thread to construct a quiet but deeply charged meditation on absence. The title itself feels deliberately unresolved, suggesting denial, defense, or a truth that is still being negotiated.

Feather Child by Lucy Gledinning

Feather Child by Lucy Gledinning Gledinning constructs her figures using distinctive, tactile media that resists easy categorization. Materials appear carefully chosen for their ability to evoke vulnerability. Feathers, surface treatments, and sculptural forms work together to create bodies that feel both protected and exposed.…

Fashion Shoot Based on Pablo Picasso’s Paintings
Eugenio Recuenco creates a Fashion Shoot Inspired by Pablo Picasso’s Paintings Fashion has long borrowed from art history, but the most compelling references rarely come from imitation alone. They emerge when an artist understands the source deeply enough to translate it rather than reproduce it. Spanish photographer Eugenio Recuenco approaches Pablo Picasso’s work with that level of intention, reimagining some of the twentieth century’s most recognizable paintings through the lens of fashion photography. Rather than treating Picasso’s work as untouchable iconography, Recuenco treats it as living material. His series does not aim for exact replicas. Instead, it captures the emotional logic behind the paintings. Proportion is distorted. Perspective bends. Color becomes…

With this Yasunari has successfully captured an essence of the past with a pallet of muted tones , but has injecting a modern twist to each piece with his use of pattern and cloth.” source:

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN SPRING/SUMMER 2014
Steven Kleins new campaign film and photographs for Alexander McQueen, featuring Kate Moss“Inspiration comes from the many progressive art movements of the early Twentieth Century – a mix of primitive shapes, graphic forms and bold colour. There is a suggestion of the clean lines and the dropped waist of the 1920s in places. Kilts, leggings, biker jackets, boxy coats and tunic tops all feature with a nod to uniform and sportswear. Shoulders are relaxed. Inner structures are absent and garments are finished with laser cutting so that they are eased and light. Metal embellishment, jewellery, and aged multiple zip trim are reminiscent of found objects as are heavy bracelets in…
