i-D magazine, the 26 year old 'bible of style', printed a huge colourful feature on the Italian art stars DORMICE in their April issue where they covered subjects ranging from Da Vinci to pornography; from the difference between a model and a super model to why fashion needs art more than ever and why flag ship high end fashion stores are more important in today's culture than art galleries.... Hey! What???
Did we give copy approval for that??? haha! ;)
It's a super hot issue as always and the article is fascinating, so buy it here:
Paul Harvey, the punk rocker, painter and Stuckist artist, was contacted by Andrew Armstrong, the Director of JOB Cigarette Papers, with the commission of a lifetime – to bring up to date the legendary advertising posters of JOB, which were painted by Paul's idol, Alphonse Mucha, in the 19th century.
JOB's slogan is “Original Doubles” so Paul painted famous duos of our generation. He painted The Mighty Boosh, The White Stripes and Gilbert and George.
Gilbert and George said they were delighted to be painted by Paul Harvey and gave their full OK for the ad to be used.
