Magritte Inspired Fashion Editorial


Feast your eyes on Andrew Matusik's 'Sir Realist' editorial inspired my surrealist extraordinaire Rene Magritte. It's so refreshing, artistic, genius, surreal, I want to frame it.

Fun fact. Did you know that Paul McCartney, a life-long fan of Magritte who owns many of his paintings, claims that a Magritte painting inspired him to use the name Apple for the Beatles' media corporation? I know, totally amaaazing right?

The editorial was created for the Genlux winter issue, you can see moooooooore right here.

The art history student in me loves it! It's interesting that Paul loves Magritte... his own paintings are so different.

Magritte was a fascinating artist, I remember sitting in front of one of his paintings at my university art gallery for ages. They don't have that haunting feeling like the paintings but I do like the interpretation.

THANK YOU for enlightening these girls that read garbage fashion blogs all day long. At least here they have an art history lesson.

Rene Magritte is one of my favorite artista. Wonderful photos!

Shini said...

it is quite refreshing, I love when fashion takes inspiration from completely non-fashion sources... makes it more deeper contextually, it seems. Without context, fashion is just a brainless bimbo's hobby, methinks.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Now, I feel good, I started to get real income.
It's all about how to select a proper partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the income with me.

You may ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
