Catalog from incredible museum show from MCA 2004 This edition has the Walter van Beirendonck cover Softcover with printed rubberband detail 64 full color images 9 x 11 inches English Fashion design, and what derives from fashion, has constantly stimulated our aesthetic sensibility and intellectual curiosity, redefining the ways we think about clothes, beauty, and gender. Skin Tight: The Sensibility of the Flesh will explore the radical innovations of designers who use clothing garments to probe the cultural construction of embodied identity, often used as a site of contention, and to challenge the perception and presentation of the self. Skin Tight will include garments, photographs, ephemera, video, and installations created by a group of international designers including Boudicca, Hussein Chalayan, Martin Margiela, Marjan Djodjov Pejoski, Walter van Beirendonck, A. F. Vandervorst, Viktor & Rolf, and Bernard Willhelm. This well-illustrated publication includes essays by Li Edelkoort and exhibition curator Sylvia Chivaratanond, along with contributions from each included designer in the form of visual essays.

  • Golden Spanish Crucifix Saint Anton Mº Claret Reliquary Crucifix Pendant
    Located in VALLADOLID, ES
    This golden crucifix-shaped reliquary pendant is dedicated to the Catalan Saint Antonio María Claret. This Latin cross with circular finials features a crucified Christ in relief. The arms of the cross are decorated with seraphim, both on the front and back. Seraphim are, according to Christian theology, the highest rank within the hierarchy of Christian angelology. Christian iconography represents seraphim as winged beings, but with the peculiarity of possessing three pairs of wings. On the back of the piece we find the round tab that opens the reliquary. In it we see a scene that represents the saint kneeling adoring an apparition of the Virgin with the Child, who descend from the heavens surrounded by rays of light and floating on clouds. In the lower part we find the following inscription: VIRGO MATER ANTº Mª CLARET. When we open the reliquary we find on the lower side of the tab a small medal that on one side has the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and on the other side presents a Virgin and Child. Inside it we found a small piece of her archbishop's red cloak. The inscription surrounds it: BLESSED ANTON M CLARET · RELIC. This pendant had to be made between 1934 and 1950, the first...
