#ggcaleido

#Repost @gucci with @repostapp ・・・ The Spanish illustrator Ignasi Monreal (@ignasimonreal) presents a highly expressionistic interpretation of the female body. In Monreal’s remix of Gucci’s #GGCaleido and #GGBlooms prints for #GucciGram he employs a parody motif by appropriating retro TV weather forecasts and commercials, then inserting the Gucci name. Nostalgic fashion models stand in the foreground, in front of a Gucci pattern backdrop where new prints battle with the Gucci classic GG pattern, a reference to the ever-shifting tastes of fashion. The end result is a clash of eras and cultures, in which nothing is sacred and everything is digitized. Text by @alanakm

#Repost @gucci with @repostapp ・・・ The Spanish illustrator Ignasi Monreal (@ignasimonreal) harnesses the power of digital painting tools to distort and destabilize familiar images into fantastical portraits. By defying expectations of gender, emotional expression, and personal distance from celebrity, the resulting creations are playful and subversive renderings that find a happy home on the pop culture corners of the Internet, from which Monreal draws inspiration—whether celebrities, musicians, or models, Monreal is ready to riff on any of them, as he does in interpretation of the Gucci classic GG pattern for #GucciGram. #GGCaleido #GGblooms Text by @alanakm
