fashion (and art)

this is the story of geoff larue. a fellow avondale ap art student who occasionally calls me to gush about things like project runway in somewhat of a british accent. the story of a wayne state fashion student who lands the cover of metro times and decides to make me his muse for the summer. except for one catch... i won't really be here this summer. somehow i still managed to convince him to make me a strapless dress out of lined vinyl picnic tablecloth material. i can't wait. when i was getting measurements (very official) for said dress he handed off this magazine to me. which is, according to him, the new vogue. it's called dansk.

any magazine ballsy enough to have entire pages left completely blank or entire articles in .8 type is immediately of interest to me. not to mention this issue is all about art. (and includes a wonderful interpretation of jeff koons through calvin klein.) so i'm sold. especially when i can borrowing it from a friend without paying 15.50.

the only thing is i can't tear pages out. which i wanted to do multiple times while flipping through it's pages. i'll just scan instead. (my favorite pastime...) the issue tackles the age old question: is fashion art? i guess, being on the other side of the coin, i never saw this as an immediate issue to address. but this magazine has me convinced that the two have more to answer for each other that one might expect.

"if you don't understand it, it's probably very profound. or possibly just pretentious."


you'll have to zoom in quite a bit for this one...
