Alexis Bittar Dangles his Bangles in Surrealism
Edited by Jessica Lapidos
I. Just. Died over the Alexis Bittar Resort 2012 lookbook. Give me disco balls. Give me neon chokers. Give me monochrome twig bangles on machine dangled hands. When a metal jeweled bow tie eclipses a white hair shoulder piece, I’m openly lusting. The surreal artistry of this lookbook transcends the magical quality that Alexis Bittar brings to his craft. Hang these in a goddamn gallery. This is art.


Lately there seems to be a trend towards surrealist inspired editorials, and these Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shots are no exception. Apparently the inspiration is Leonardo da Vinci, but I see more Dali with the use of the human body as art, the blending of gender and extra limbs.
