Fashion Zombies
Today I learned two things:
1. I have no original thoughts
2. I don't like the taste of spinach that much
Yesterday my friend & I were talking about how dope it would be if someone had the concept of making a runway show with ladies who look like zombies. I mean they don't eat food. And brains can't be THAT many calories. It'd be poking fun at the model lifestyle & skinny fashion in general. When Christian Siriano told his models on Project Runway to "not to eat anything" so they stayed thin for his show I almost gagged myself with a spoon (I was eating ice cream). Screw the skinny culture right? Up with curves right? So how hilarious would it be to have zombie models walk down the runway? Genius I thought.
Well, I was beaten to the punch. By a Japanese artist named Fumie Sasabuchi. Dude totally takes pages from fashion mags and draws over them with pen & ink to make these fabulous ladies look deceased. Zombified. I'm totes jel jel. Here are smattering of my favorite photos:
I dunno. Maybe I'll still do it. Screw you Fumie - you are too fabulous for words!
Love you, mean it
Emily
