This series will spotlight global innovators who are
original, known, lesser known and some perchance even already highly regarded
and respected within their areas of expertise.
The common thread is style and fashion; whether it takes its form in
interiors, apparel, accessories, retail, photography or any of the related
professions that surround fashion and style.
Please note that some of my “cast members” have chosen to follow a path
than includes utilizing the “tools” of the past thereby rendering a new and
modern vision for today’s climate of fashion and style. These “createurs” are
at the vanguard of design and style … in my opinion … and so I will introduce
them to you on an international stage starting today.
Today is all about the combination and meshing of art and
fashion. Marco Santaniello has a body of
work that completely demonstrates that art and fashion are inextricably
linked. Mr. Sanataniello is a young man
who is based in Tokyo and is a ubiquitous figure at fashion weeks around the
world.
My take is that if you mix up Warhol, Lichtenstein, Pop Art
of the 60’s, the Rubik’s cube and some Simpsons and you mix them into one
cocktail, you get Marco Santaniello. He
is every bit as influenced by all that as he is influenced by the world around
him whether it be fashion or current events.
He has had gallery exhibits in Milan and New York and his adopted home
of Tokyo.
Known for his irreverent activities, he has been known to
stage pop up shows in Milan, New York, Paris during their respective fashion
weeks and to say the least, he does get noticed and does get coverage. His eponymous collection, which is tacitly
tied to the tee shirt, has acquired its own cult like following around the
world. If you believe he is only for the
21st century international fashionistas, then you would be very
mistaken. His appeal is to Generations
X, Y and Z.
Obviously, I was attracted to his work which features some
of the great fashion luminaries of the past and present. The work is fresh and magnetic… see if you
agree
