Inspired by the work of Jan Svankmajer. I am ready to base my entire aesthetic around mid-00s Undercover once I move into my new studio and have to pull looks for commuting every day.

So claustrophobic but delicate, like a cocoon. They make me feel uncomfortable and at peace at the same time. Feels very vulnerable and I think it’s where the beauty of this collection lies.

My friend Carly Mark is a genius artist, making work about the female gaze, body horror and conspicuous consumption. But now you can conspicuously consume Puppets and Puppets, the high meets low endless design experiment she’s running like it’s Gucci in the Tom Ford era only EVERYONE is invited. Gender, size- she’s blowing up all the binaries of fashion. It ain’t cheap, but the prices reflect couture level production, fascinating fabrics and playfully sinister details (a demure Mary Jane with a wooden wedge of cheese for a heel, a chic little purse with a resin black and white cookie slapped on its front in place of logo hardware.) This is high fashion for the kid who liked to layer macaroni necklaces, for the former Emily The Strange who now works in branding, for any person who wants to add “art witch” to their resume. Carly has made me a few dresses and whenever I wear them, I feel like I can change the world with the power embedded in the layered skirts. It’s also so genderfluid that my husband can (and does) steal.

I discovered her song ‘In Canada’ on the compilation album Songs in the Key of Z: The Curious Universe of Outsider Music, which I’d highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I got recommended this novel by someone at my art show, Victim of Cosmetics, which dealt with some similar subject matter of ‘putting in work’ for beauty. I like this book a lot. It was easy to read (big font!) and the form matches the content well; it was informally written, refreshing, but also sad (mother/daughter stuff)
