(English summary at the bottom)
Pero contened la euforia, que hablamos de otro Grey...
El 'área gris' con la que esta temporada colabora Helmut Lang para lanzar una colección limitada de objetos especiales creados por artistas jóvenes que hacen posible Grey Area.
'Art made functional,
and the functional made into art'
Ese es su lema, al que hacen honor a juzgar por la colección para Helmut Lang. Grey Area abarcan, en Broadway y on-line, todo aquello que no encaja en una galería tradicional, sin importarles el renombre del artista. Siempre que lo sea, claro.

Para quienes no le conozcáis, Serra es también autor del Homemade Birkin Bag:
Sobre su inspiración, el artista afincado en Nueva York reflexionaba lo siguiente:
“My initial interest and subsequent fascination with the Hermes bag began after hearing a Serge Gainsborough song and realizing the bag was named after a person, Jane Birkin. The elegance and absurdity of an object that functions not much differently that a plastic bag but costs more than a few months rent intrigued me. I like the idea that one’s status through consumption can be modified and adjusted based on what is hanging from their arm. In taking this object and remaking it in plastic, rendering it functionless, I hope to give it a little twist and heighten people’s awareness of the things we encounter and take for granted everyday.”
Objetos extraordinarios que necesitan ser mostrados, y artistas con talento que en muchos casos necesitan un empujón. En esta ocasión, Helmut Lang se convierte en escaparate de una selección que le viene como anillo al dedo. Otra demostración de que arte, diseño y moda son siempre un buen maridaje, si no imprescindible.
This might not be the best selling Grey you were hoping for, but it seems to us much more interesting. Grey Area and Helmut Lang teamed up this season to create a double collaboration: on the one hand, a Helmut Lang goodies capsulle collection by a selection of 7 artists. On the other hand, a series of 17 sculptures recreating american vintage engines to acompany the shopping experience at Helmut Lang shops in New York, Los Angeles, and London. Art, design and fashion come together once again, and it looks like working perfectly. Shoud not it be always like that? xx
Enjoy your style*!
