You can often divide people into two distinct groups - "hat people" and "non hat people".
Wearing a hat takes confidence, courage and a unique personal style. Whether the hat is worn for comfort or a statement or both, the choice of hat says a lot about the person.  Rike Feurstein (a self-confessed hat-aholic) has done a lot for the hat industry with her clean, minimalistic, sculptural shaped designs.  Her unique perspective breathes new life into classic shapes with the choice of irreverent fabrics or colours. She references iconic shapes from the 40's and 60's and reworks the look by injecting her own twist. Rike studied in New York and London before opening her own studio and showroom in Berlin and has an international stockist's resume including Barney's, Saks, Harvey Nichols, Tsum and Le Bon Marche.

美国新“舞后”Lady Gaga是如今冉冉升起的一枚新“IT Girl”,不过,她与那些美艳如花的姑娘们截然不同……

  Lady GaGa是2008美国流行音乐新晋“舞后”,年底被各大音乐网站评为09年最值得期待的新星。Lady GaGa不仅有一流的声线,更是是个超有个性的创作酷妹。这位Lady GaGa不仅在听觉上带来一股“高火力”音乐浪潮,更是在视觉上带来“时尚盛宴”,接受的人大呼酷辣个性,不能接受的人被雷到半死!

  Lady GaGa被称为红翻全球嘻哈彗星阿肯 (Akon) 自创厂牌 Kon Live 旗下的“秘密武器”

  Lady GaGa因为帮布兰妮·斯皮尔斯 (Britney Spears) 新专辑写了两首歌,因而引起了一阵小骚动,同时也让Lady GaGa的名气暴增,先行单曲《Just Dance》更是得到阿肯 (Akon) 携Colby O'Donis亲自助阵,如此为新专辑造势,估计想不红都难,且不说,Lady GaGa性感魅惑的声线也是极具杀伤力的。

  Lady Gaga来自纽约,这座五光十色的城市赋予了她时尚靓丽的气息,和许多叛逆的青年一样,22岁的Lady Gaga充斥着大胆前卫和另类,甚至是一个常人眼中衣着暴露的不良少女,然而同时Lady Gaga也是一位钢琴演奏家和词曲创作人。Lady Gaga自小展现对音乐的高敏锐度:4岁时无师自通的靠双耳聆听便学会钢琴弹奏,13岁写下第一首抒情创作曲,隔年就在公开场合中拿起麦克风演唱;以超优 的成绩,17岁Lady Gaga即跳级进入纽约大学就读音乐学系。Lady Gaga仅20岁之龄就受到Interscope Records赏识,签入旗下帮歌手/团体写歌谱曲。

  Lady GaGa穿着大胆前卫另类,最爱穿着深V字开衩连体装配肉色连裤袜外出,她的穿衣品味被人诟病但也受到许多年轻女性追捧。

  其实Lady GaGa很有些品味,推崇的都是Maison Martin Margiela、Hussein Chalayan、Viktor & Rolf等等前卫设计师的时装。现在,Lady GaGa也计划推出自己的时装品牌,而更有趣的是第一个产品系列可能会是裤子。

As the creative director behind Illamasqua and Gareth Pugh’s go-to makeup artist, Alex Box isn’t really known for her way with the “natural look.” Case in point: For Pugh’s Spring presentation, Box sent ashen gray faces onto the runway, with red eyes for that extra touch of creepy. Her unique ability to turn cosmetics into conceptual art went on display at Kentish Town’s newly opened Annroy Gallery last week, where Box, clad in a black-and-white sequined Pugh number—with top hat— was on hand to celebrate the launch of her eponymous book with famed photographer Rankin. Shutterbug, publisher, film director, and co-creator of Dazed & Confused, Rankin collaborated with Box on a large-format glossy hardcover devoted to exposing the line where makeup and art are blurred. Box uses paint, pigment, brushes, pens, and pencils to create everything from three-dimensional monochrome faces to precise geometric designs, sculptural clown makeup, and everything in between. Each page is more shockingly beautiful than the next, and will definitely liven up your current coffee-table offerings.

Somewhat surprisingly I loved Hanna Hedman's jewellery at first sight. Usually my magpie-like eye seeks all that is gold, oversized and glittery when it comes to neck adornments, but Hedman’s one-off silver pieces might have just persuaded me that there is another option.

Inspired by storytelling and the ever-evolving, organic nature of storytelling- as each narrator embellishes or ignores elements on a whim- all the pieces are very different, but share similarities. As Hanna herself explains they are an ‘ornamental story that is neither black nor white; instead it exists in a grey area, undefined and strange’. Based in Stockholm, her work borders on wearable sculpture- in fact she describes herself as an artist, rather than a jewellery designer. I can’t wait until her designs arrive in London- hopefully sometime soon.

To begin this Louis Vuitton show report, a definition of Visionary: Characterised by or given to apparitions, prophecies, or revelations. Whether a reaction to the slick starkness or the frou-frou femininity pervading the catwalks, Marc Jacobs has truly gone his own way, and - knowing Jacobs - a way that others are sure to follow.

Afros, layers of gingham, wellies with human hair, what appear to be ugg boots, ombre dyed across the body sports bags, bum bags, clogs, brocade cycling shorts - were only the beginning, adding to a riot which resounded with elements of Commes Des Garcons by way of well...everything - appropriate one could say for a collection "about travelers—the movement that came after punk. Then we were thinking about hiking, trekking, and then denim and parkas—city utilitarianism."

Ticking all of the trend boxes in the idiosyncratic manner that only Marc Jacobs can, utilitarian pocketing in khaki appeared in skirts, jackets, skin-tight round-necked ribbed khaki bodies, underwear as outwear snuck in in exposed bras and bloomers, sportswear elements too reared their head in - amongst others - a layered piece with a wetsuit bent.

Whereas the styling did occasionally distract, standout pieces were difficult to ignore. An optical illusion of a skirt suit in red and white and a plethora of dresses whether baby doll, body con, bandaged wrapped or a-line, resulted in a joyous, youthful Louis Vuitton collection, which in its almost geek chic aesthetic provided a welcome new direction, and one which we'll surely all be pursuing come Summer...

Yesterday a series of fortunate coincidences led m to the work of illustrator Alec Strang . Dark and macabre with an edge of the fantastical his illustrations are charming, yet something always seems amiss- awkwardly posed models are oddly proportioned, twisted into unnatural poses. He exaggerated proportions seem to recall Alberto Giacometti’s twisted sculptures, whose uber thin sculptures were the product of his unusual eyesight- either oversized or small enough to fit into a match-box.

His illustrations of Derek Lawlor's  collection work perfectly- emphasising the sinuous but exaggerated details of the designers clothing. Executed using precise mechanical pencils, which- combined with a predominantly black and white colour palette- adds to the odd surrealism of the illustrations- Strang presents the darker side of fashion. His editorial pieces are also worth a look- humorous depictions of everyday situations- in fact it is Strang’s ability to see life from the other side is what gives his illustrations a unique and completely individual aesthetic.

What do you do after becoming one of France's highest-paid male models? You become a fashion photographer, of course. Or that's what RJ did, anyways, and by looking at the fruits of his work, we think his change of career was a wise choice.

比亚兹莱(Aubrey Beardsley,1872-1898),在这个世界上只生活了26年。出生时就带有遗传的肺结核病,家境清贫,几乎从未受过正统的美术教育。

我得感谢朋友。因为阅读面与兴趣限制,很多书,很多书里的人,若不是他们的推荐,可能我就会错过而不自觉,如果不是帮朋友买书,我的人生也会错过比亚兹莱?虽然在下一个转角也可能遇上,但,还是相逢好,恨不相逢早。

 

现在,让我们来到比亚兹莱的世界。《比亚兹莱大师图典》

天才美少年比亚兹莱,恶之华比亚兹莱,我一见钟情的比亚兹莱。

将比亚兹莱介绍入中国的是鲁迅与郁达夫。鲁迅自费出版了比亚兹莱的画集,并说:“有时他的作品达到纯粹的美,但这是恶魔的美,而常有罪恶底自觉,罪恶首受美而变形又复被美所暴露。”

我的笔记不想按年代顺序来,我想先从王尔德开始,先从《黄面志》(The Yellow Book)开始,因为这是比亚兹莱艺术生命中最眩目的一部分。

王 尔德的《莎乐美》本身便是备受争议的作品,比亚兹莱敏锐地捕捉到了这部作品中最让他兴奋、也最受争议的信息,自发在《画室》杂志上发表了他为此书所做的一 幅插图。插图引起了王尔德的注意而使他决定出版《莎乐美》的英文版。唯美颓废的王尔德与唯美颓废的比亚兹莱相遇了,双璧。

这便是那幅引起王尔德注意的《莎乐美》插图──“高潮”(The Climax)。莎乐美终于得到了施洗约翰的头,“高潮”这个名字充满了隐喻。


由于《画室》杂志拥有原作的版权,比尔兹莱只得为《莎乐美》英文版新作了幅插图。两相对比,可以看出新作更加洗练,去除了很多繁杂的线条。。。。原作的人物头发上带有丝丝的绒毛,这在新作中消失了(在莎乐美的头部变成了雾化的黑点)。(抱歉没能找到原作的大图,那些绒毛无法看清。)

留意莎乐美的脸,比亚兹莱笔下的女人很多都具有这样的美,不同于世俗的审美观点,而是一种恶魔的美。后来,他还在作品上着上了颓废主义者们都喜欢的绿色。

图中的百合花是比亚兹莱最喜欢运用的花朵元素之一,常以各种变形出现在作品中。鳞片状图案也是他的偏好。


这是比亚兹莱最为人称道的名作──《孔雀裙子》(The Peacock Skirt)。莎乐美象一只华美无比的孔雀注视着施洗约翰,我们仿佛能听到王尔德笔下的台词:“我渴望得到你的肉体。。。让我抚摸抚摸你的肉体吧。。。。我总会得到你的头。”

他只用寥寥几笔就勾出了莎乐美曼妙的曲线,而花费大量的笔墨在莎乐美奢华艳丽的裙摆上。虽然只是单调的黑色和白色,但是在比尔兹莱的笔下却呈现出眩目的色彩。

比尔兹莱没有系统地接受过美术专业训练,但他有极为过人的天分,“转益多师是汝师”,孔雀的画法他便是学自惠斯勒。这中间有非常多的曲折与故事,后文再表。

这 是为《莎乐美》英文版所做的扉页设计(Title page of Salome),实际上我找到的是修改之前的版本。一个象征爱的天使,膜拜的却是个被 玫瑰花束紧紧捆绑的恶魔,同时具有男女性征。在修改版中,男性生殖器被去掉了,比亚兹莱说:“我认为我已经做了很大的改进。”

 

“肚皮舞”(The Stomach Dance),《莎乐美》插图。

画 面截然分为上下两部分,黑色的下部主体是弹奏弦乐的乐手,恶魔样邪恶的造型让人不难想象他音乐的性质──注意他的头发,飞舞的姿态传递出音乐的节奏。莎乐 美的形象贯穿上下两个部分,她几乎没有动──虽然飘扬的衣袖和漩涡状的玫瑰表达了运动的趋势──她是直接地瞪着你,袒露的胸腹发出挑战的信息。在这一点 上,比亚兹莱和王尔德达成了一致,他就是要明白无误地宣布感官的刺激,肉体的沉溺。

注意那些一瓣瓣向里收缩,好象镶嵌玻璃画般的玫瑰(图有点小了),这也是比亚兹莱最喜欢使用的元素之一。

 

王尔德《莎乐美》一出,那种邪恶的美成了艺术家们热衷于表现的对象。莎乐美“致命的舞姿”最出名的作品当推法国象征主义画家莫罗(Gustave Moreau)的《莎乐美之舞》。比亚兹莱自己就很欣赏这幅作品,而他的创作,可以说比起莫罗,毫不逊色。

 

“莎乐美的梳洗室1”(The Toilet of Salome I)

莎 乐美松散地披着睡衣,几乎是全裸地坐着,一只手放在私处,表情好象沉浸在自淫的快感中。不仅如此,梳洗室的环境充满了对当时的读者而言非常明白(对今天的 读者而言则有些隐晦)的性暗示。例如梳妆台上放的奇形怪状的玩偶,露出书名的书籍(都是当时的禁书),两个裸体的侍者等等。。。。。造型优美,由薄板和细 杆所构成的梳妆台是当时(19世纪末)正在流行的唯美主义大师戈德温(Edward William Godwin)的典型式样,而莎乐美的故事却发生在 公元1世纪时的古罗马。更要命的是,王尔德的剧本中根本就没有梳洗室这一幕!

 

“莎乐美的梳洗室2”(The Toilet of Salome II)

由于上一幅插图的离经叛道而通不过审查,比亚兹莱创作了这幅“梳洗室2”,依然是幅杰作。

莎乐美的服装还是19世纪最新潮的,梳妆台依然采用了戈德温的样式。此 外,他恶作剧般地仍旧在外露的书脊上表明了他的态度。这个带有颓废气息的图书书目包括:普切尼的《曼侬 . 雷斯考》、维邦尔的《游乐图》、阿蒲列乌斯的 《金驴记》、左拉的《娜娜》以及一本《萨德侯爵作品集》(都是一时的禁书,其中萨德侯爵宣扬虐恋,即使在今天也不为一般人所接受)。。。。。莎乐美的表 情。。。既风情万种,又善恶难辨。

 

“ 希罗底”(Enter Herodias),莎乐美的母亲。她原本是希律王的嫂子,丈夫死后改嫁给希律王,正因如此,施洗约翰才谴责她。在《圣经》中,是 她怂恿莎乐美向希律王要约翰的头。王尔德把剧情改变,着重在渲染莎乐美的变态心理上。这幅图在正式出版时不得不在右边侍者的生殖器官上覆盖了一片无花果 叶。

“舞者的报酬”(The Dancer’s Reward)。

莎乐美终于获得了施洗约翰的头,这是画家笔下常能看到的情节。17世纪著名画家卡拉瓦乔(Caravaggio)所画的莎乐美,把头微微偏向一边,似乎心中有些懊悔。

而比亚兹莱的莎乐美则狰狞地凝视着自己的战利品,仿佛在欣赏自己的“杰作”。正是这一点,将他与那些传统画家区别开来。

莎乐美的鳞片式头发与花瓣向内卷的玫瑰花,是比亚兹莱的常用元素。左下角的烛台状图案也是他常用的签名标记。他有一对极其喜爱的烛台,他总是在其昏暗的烛光下画这些诡异的插图。

“莎乐美的葬礼”(The Burial of Salome)

这幅 画显得非常怪异。从题目看,莎乐美是死了,正在被放进棺材里准备安葬,可是画面却如此暧昧可疑。赤裸身子,长着山羊胡子和尖耳朵的是希腊神话中的森林之神 ──著名的色情狂萨特(Satyr),他的色迷迷的表情已经暴露出他的欲望。可是身穿黑衣、戴黑面具、头发蓬乱、有点秃顶、露出诡异笑容的男子是谁?注意 他的头发,比亚兹莱很少使用这样散乱而轻浮的笔触──他的线条一般来说总是很坚定、有条有理。莎乐美即将被放进一个样子奇特的棺材中──看起来更象是一个 巨大的脂粉盒,旁边放着一个非常触目的毛茸茸的粉刷,这个粉刷在当时的英国社会具有明确的象征意义,被视为一种催情的用具,而莎乐美赤裸的身体又如此明白 地暗示出性的诱惑力。


 黑 斗篷(The Black Cape)也是《莎乐美》插图,但画面却与文字内容毫不相干。比亚兹莱常干这样的事。真正伟大的艺术家都不愿被束缚,即使是插 图作者,比亚兹莱也不愿被文字束缚。(所以鲁迅认为比亚兹莱不算伟大的插图画家,但他作为伟大画家的地位却是稳固的。)

这件斗篷的灵感来自日本画家春江斋北英的《武士服饰图》。武士的服饰肩部只有一个坎,比亚兹莱却变化出6个坎。。。。令人不能不赞叹他的才情。裙子的下摆也是从武士的裙裤变化而来,但是圆滑流畅,向上一直收束到纤细的腰部。(真可惜,没找到春江斋北英那幅图的电子版)对日本画家画风的学习也渗透在比亚兹莱的作品中,我们今后还将看到。

 

“月中的女人”(The Woman in the Moon)

让我们用这幅画来结束“比亚兹莱笔下的莎乐美”这个段落。这又是一幅与原作不相干的插图,比亚兹莱画这幅画更多地为了讽刺王尔德,月亮中的那张脸便是王尔德的漫画像。

是 王尔德的赏识,让比亚兹莱为《莎乐美》英文版画插图而使比亚兹莱声名鹊起,但他们之间的关系可说复杂微妙、机关重重。比亚兹莱希望成为自由的创作者,经常 想摆脱文字的束缚,但王尔德却认为此举是对他自己绝妙的文字的轻蔑,并且担心这样一来,自己的文字会沦为比亚兹莱的“插图的插图”。(自恋者VS自恋者, 没有最自恋,只有更自恋。

此外,在英文版的翻译过程中,王尔德起先把工作交给了自己的同性恋伙伴阿尔弗雷德 . 道格拉斯子爵来做,效果很糟糕。比亚兹莱精通法文,想自告奋勇,遭到道格拉斯抵制,最后翻译由其他人来完成。这件事情,在二人之间又添了嫌隙。

后 来王尔德由于同性恋身份被以“有伤风化罪”逮捕,临走时夹了本黄色封面的书刊在身边,一时哄传他带进监狱的这本书便是《黄面志》(后来事实证明并非如 此)。《黄面志》的声名在外,大部分原因是由于创刊起,就由比亚兹莱包办了几乎所有封面封底及插图,而传言一出,更因为比亚兹莱为《莎乐美》所作的那些惊 世骇俗的插图,杂志为求自保,马上解雇了比亚兹莱,使他几乎在财政上陷入绝境。

1897年7月,比亚兹莱在迪拜 (Dieppe,法国里昂以北的一个港口城市)的一家酒店住定,发现刚刚出狱的王尔德居然也使用假名住在了这里。关于这次见面的详情众说纷纭,但可以肯定 的是,比亚兹莱避走不及,马上离开了这里,而王尔德则称他做“懦夫”。事实上,出狱后的王尔德人人见了都躲着走,而他又是导致比亚兹莱的事业走向低落的“ 罪魁”,比亚兹莱的反应也应该得到理解。
