I'm still seriously shocked by this terrible news.
R.I.P Alexander Mcqueen MARCH 17TH, 1969 - FEBRUARY 11TH, 2010


Dominique Ingres, la Baigneuse Valpinçon 1808
Man Ray, Kiki, Violon d'Ingres 1924
La famosísima fotografia en blanco y negro de Man Ray fue inspirada claramente en las bañistas de Ingres
Una vez realizada la fotografía, en la espalda, Man Ray dibuja las ranuras en forma de f del violín con tinta china. Así el modo romántico e ideal de ver la figura femenina se relaciona con la musicalidad fantasiosa del violín; por otro lado, instrumento preferido del pintor Ingres .
A partir de ahora, para quién le interese la música que escucho, he decidido subirla de esta forma, ya que pienso que es mucho más práctico para todos...




A true fashion innovator, Cristobal Balenciaga radically altered the fashionable silhouette of women in the mid-twentieth century. With the methodical skill of an expert tailor, he created garments of fluidity and grace. Unlike many couturiers, Balenciaga was able to drape, cut, and fit his own muslin patterns, known as toiles. He was respected throughout the fashion world for both his knowledge of technique and construction, and his unflinching perfectionism.
With these design innovations, Balenciaga achieved what is considered to be his most important contribution to the world of fashion: a new silhouette for women. Is obviously the constant relation of Balenciaga with the art history, artists such Picasso, Goya or Velázquez inspires him. Definitely, Cristóbal Balenciaga is an artist, the artist of fashion.
