Sleepy Time
SHOWstudio’s shop has opened a new exhibition, To Bed. Sleep often serves as a subject in art, affording artists with material and metaphors for work. Remember when The Tate held a mass sleepover in 2007 that coincided with a 19-hour screening of Andy Warhol’s Sleep? And what of John and Yoko’s week-long “bed-in” for peace. To Bed is a little more intimate, showing personal and vulnerable states of sleep. From Corinne Day’s photographic diary of her own hospitalisation in 1996, to Maiko Takeda’s sculpture that outlines the soft curves of a woman in bed, To Bed is devoted to the space of sleep. It’s voyeurism sans the usual titillation that comes with peeking through the bedroom window.

There’s No I In Team
The big news to travel around the Paris showrooms during Mens Fashion Week was the collaborative effort between Adam Kimmel and Carhartt. A new year announcement, it seems to be the must-have collection for next winter according to the gospel of some of boutique buyers. While little detail has emerged by way of collection images, if you’re up-to-date with the blogs this new designer/heritage brand association will be a cross between Kimmel’s own Americana and the workwear style that Carhatt is champion of. Kimmel must already be feeling the Carhartt effect, given his recent Winter 2011 presentation clearly erred on the side of tough guy. Rugged denim, motorcyle leathers and apache style detail, it’s all very masculine and a change to his habitual collections of grandpa style dressing for the wilderness. Perhaps that will make it a good match, though we can only guess until May when it makes its retail debut.
