Fashion Tale

Fashion Tale Magazine; I intended to predict the future. A future, we may fear, is not sunny. It´s probably wet, cloudy and very near. Sometimes excessively hot too. So was model; Natalia Khutkubia from Tiblisi, Georgia.
In that future, will there be any Caucasians, fashion stylists with dogs or water to drink?
Styling Martin Bergstrom.

Die Eat

“As early as 1764 Immanuel Kant suggests the esthetic field of taste is, like a day, divided into two halves. The bright beauty of sunshine and the pale gleam of a sublime moon. On one hand the light pleasant positive Beauty, on the other the dangerous frightening majestic Sublime, rousing negative emotions close to dread and discomfort”.

Philosopher Pierre Guillet de Montoux in a text, accompanied the images in “SvD City” magazine January 1997.

The story was created with Bo Brinkenfalk when a debate about values in fashion (again) turned into moral panic. Fashion artists and photographers were blamed for causing eating disorders and other traumas. The publication resulted in death threats and invitations to talk-shows. Leading to nothing, but a recognition 10 years later of overweight as a potentially bigger health problem.
