I’m loving Karl Lagerfeld‘s latest project; a photo exhibit in Saint Moritz, Switzerland featuring images of his muses etched onto glass panels. The exhibit named FIRE ETCHINGS showcases images of Aymeline Valade, Freja Beha Ericsen, and more, etched onto giant pieces of glass via acid and fire! The triptych of glass panels costs a mindblowing $401,600, yes, but you have to admire his drive to always be the inovator and always onto something that no one’s done before. In the world of fashion where everything is recycled, copied, repackaged to look new and fresh but it actually aren’t, I dig Karl and his risk-taking trailblazing. And he explains it best himself: “It was never done that way for screen-printed photographs on glass and burned in. The effect is great for portraits, and I will do more and more of it…Nothing is more exciting than something new — a new material, a new spirit, a new technique, a new point of view, a new expression, a new feeling. That’s right for fashion and for photography.”
