If any of you follow me on twitter or facebook, you may have noticed my reaction to the new Japanese trend of Teeth Tattoos. The tattoos are decorative, some even look like tiny lady bugs crawling across your teeth - gross! If you interested in a tattoo I definitely can get on board with I would recommend waiting until fashion week when mega-art collector and fashion maven Dasha Zhukova unveils her inaugural edition of 'Garage.' One of the potential covers features a Hedi Slimane photograph of a lower half of a nude model, whose crotch is covered by a green butterfly sticker created by Damien Hirst. The sticker peels off (inspired by the Velvet Underground album art by Andy Warhol) to reveal a butterfly tattoo, also of Mr. Hirst’s design. Teeth tattoos = taboo; Damien Hirst temporary Pubic Tattoo = must have fashion forward fall accessory!
'Garage' is slated to be one of the more intriguing magazines to come around in years. A hybrid of Vogue and ART + AUCTION, it is not entirely clear whether this is a fashion magazine that takes more than a passing interest in art, or an art magazine that knows its stuff about fashion.
The magazine, created by Dasha Zhukova, a former editor of Pop, and named after the contemporary art center she opened in Moscow in 2008, includes collaborations between prominent figures of both worlds and blurs the boundaries to such a degree that even the artist Dinos Chapman said his work in the magazine could be described as “a full-blown fashion shoot.” Working with the photographer Nick Knight, Mr. Chapman created a creepy dollhouse in which a puppetlike version of the model Lily Donaldson wears designer duds from Marc Jacobs and Mary Katrantzou.
In a newsstand environment dominated by digital perfection, Garage stands out because it looks almost handmade. The type is an amalgam of fonts, set to appear randomly. Some pages are pure mystery, like a spread that shows a dress called “Lettuce by Alexander McQueen.” It appears to be made of romaine, a creation by Ms. Battaglia and the photographer Fulvio Bonavia. Also included is a Prada dress made of citrus and a Moncler coat of anchovies.
“I hope nobody reads our e-mails back and forth,” Ms. Battaglia said. “We were writing things like, ‘yes, Prada is an orange, that’s genius! And Moncler is a fish!’ ”
Would that make Lanvin a Skyscraper? The real question is - where can i get the pubic tattoo?
