Apparently, one can never have too many eyes on their fashion, eh?
…OR hands.
OR bird heads?… (If your name is Bjork, Ozzy, or Nicki, and have front row seats.)
Well, these ii’s were certainly popping with all the Modern Art references hanging around the Fall ’12 collections. And, a girl DOES crave a healthy dose of irony and hyperbole to get her through the season!
Manish Arora’s smokin’ lips whispered to Warhol, while a gang of hoodied street artists made a lot of visual noise as they tagged the mural backdrop.
With guns out, having hit the pavement running, some fresh tags were seen sneaking around at Be & D…Perhaps looking for Banksy?
Julien David gave a nod to POP Art with ‘killer fashion’ that objectified a kitchen knife.
Anna Molinari put the ‘WOW’ and ‘JOLIE’ in livin’ LARGE, loud, and pretty at Blumarine.

Nicholas Kirkwood spun tall tails about the girl who walked in his shoes.
A typewriter fashioned into a novel notion at Mary Katrantzou wrote a note to ‘Surrealism.’
DVF dialed it up.
Imagery from Peter Pilotto’s garments channeled japanese light trucks, putting high beams on the chassy driving it.
