ELIZABETH PEYTON - CAMILLE CLAUDEL FLOWERS AND BOOKS - COLLECTOR'S EDITION - HATJE CANTZ - 2011

Collector's Edition
Elizabeth Peyton

Well known for her painted portraits, Elizabeth Peyton has created since the 1990s a broad range of prints, including monotypes, lithographs, woodcuts, and etchings. Experimenting with different techniques, she also uses a variety of diverse and handmade papers as well as various colored and monochromatic inks. Her portrayed subjects—historical figures such as William Shakespeare and Richard Wagner; visual artists such as Frida Kahlo, David Hockney, Andy Warhol, and Robert Mapplethorpe; pop stars such as Eminem and Kurt Cobain; as well as her friends—populate both her prints and paintings. More recently, Peyton has turned to the genre of the still life to explore its contemporary relevance.
The etching we are pleased to offer you as a Collector’s Edition is a tender still life: we see Camille Claudel — her portrait probably taken from a book cover, since her name appears backward, in a mirror image — and a partially visible vase of flowers, whose blooms seem to crown her head.

GIVENCHY - FALL 2011 - RICCARDO TISCI - FASHION WEEK PARIS

It started with a roar—a disembodied snarl over the loudspeakers. Turned out it was a panther's roar, going by the look of the first model out: Her black button-down was fastened all the way up to the collar and had a pride of panthers printed on its hem. The top was paired with a pencil skirt that was mostly sheer between the waist and hem, and backstage Riccardo Tisci said, "There's more sex than usual." How could there not be, with the twin inspirations of Bettie Page (the foil to Jerry Lee Lewis in his Fall menswear) and Amanda Lear on the cover of Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure?

CELINE - FALL 2011 - PHOEBE PHILO - FASHION WEEK PARIS

Phoebe Philo has exited the rock festival and left its subtle influence on her Spring show in the rearview mirror. The designer's preferred mode of transportation: a luxury automobile. "Cars, the essential-ness of what it's like when you get inside a beautifully made car, and the power" is how she described the route she took to the new collection. Well, no matter how she got here, she's bound to rev city girls' motors this Fall, with a lineup that was long on statement coats, and offered a new idea about streamlined urban uniform dressing, too.
