Overpainted Photographs by Gustaf von Arbin and Vassili Brault
“To highlight the irony often held within model poses in editorials, we turned obvious sexually explicit pictures meant to display designer clothes, into a show of models gasping for air.
Thank you for shopping.”

The music is from the library label "KPM 1169 - ARP ODYSSEY - Alan Hawkshaw" the title of the track is TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION."
"Futuristic fashion of the 1960's from designers like Pierre Cardin, André Courrèges, Paco Rabanne etc.
Most of the scenes are from the German TV-Show "Paris Aktuell".
The music is "DEJA VU" from Mort Garson's Ataraxia The Unexplained (1975)."
Brigitte Bardot
“Her clothes are not fetishes and when she strips she is not unveiling a mystery…She walks, she dances, she moves about. Her eroticism is not magical but aggressive…The male is an object to her, just as she is to him.” – Simone de Beauvoir in Brigitte Bardot and the Lolita Syndrome (1959)
Savile Row’s James Hyman Gallery is celebrating Brigitte’s upcoming 75th b-day (September 28) with an exhibition of vintage prints taken by the original paparazzi who followed her around in the 1960s. My father was a big Bardot fan and I saw her movies thanks to him. I’m glad I was introduced to And God Created Women because a man needs a cinematic reference point for the future. I don’t think Bardot aged well, but that’s why we have these photographs to reminds us of her amazing youthful beauty.

NEW YORK, NY.- Perfumes have always trafficked in the elusive and the taboo. And since nothing could be more elusive than money, particularly in our current economic downturn, weve made cash the inspiration and focus for the latest in the Bond No. 9 series of collectible Andy Warhol eaux de parfum. Appearing on both sides of the bottle is an image of one of Warhols iconic subjects, the almighty dollar sign created by Warhol in 1981, while inside is a fittingly rich and beckoning scent weve named Andy Warhol Success is a Job in New York. Prophetically, Warhols first assignment in the 50s as an illustrator was for a Glamour magazine article entitled Success is a Job in New York. The title was later used for a book about Warhols early career. Through hard work and leveraging his immense talent as a draftsman, Andy Warhol would become one of the most successful commercial artists in New York City thus laying the foundation to become one of the most important fine artists of the 20th century.
Throughout his career, Warhol was fascinated with the connections between art and money. In the 60s, he painted Pop Art canvases with grids of banknotes, and he stuffed dollar bills into soup cans. Then in the early 80s, just as Reaganomics and Dynasty got under way and paintings became consumer items, he isolated the image of the dollar sign sinuous yet with that ominous slash down the center in a series of silk-screened portraits.via artdaily.org
