Dolce and Gabbana - Italian Beauty
Inspired by the 50's ideal of Italian beauty, Dolce and Gabbana's 2012 Spring/Summer collection is just bursting with colour and unabashed sexuality. Looking back to the style and grace of the iconic Sophia Loren the cinched waists, body contouring bodices and flowing skirts are reminiscent of the 1950s - when women were womanly and proud of it.

Amazing Paper Sculptures by Peter Gentenaar
This incredible sculptures by artist Peter Gentenaar are all made out of paper. These images are from Gentenaar’s latest exhibition inside the Abbey church of Saint-Riquier in France and are formed by allowing pulp to dry and shrink in unison while attached to a
pre-constructed bamboo framework.
Gentenaar says of his work “Because I started out as a printmaker and sculptor, it took time to lose the idea that paper was a helpful carrier for prints or a filler for molds. Gradually I found that the single sheet of paper, which had not dried yet, had all the possibilities I needed. A paper sheet is thin and strong and can be compared to the leaf on a tree or plant. Reinforced with very thin ribs of bamboo that look like the ribs of a leaf, the analogy between the sheet of paper and the plant form is emphasized even more. By beating my pulp very long, an extraordinary play of forces occurs during the drying processes of my paper sculpture.”
We think they are amazing - what do you think?
Thank you to Made In Slant for these beautiful images.
