Description
Celebrating modern icons and trailblazers of our times reimagined as Japanese-inspired wooden Kokeshi Dolls, Lucie Kaas honors pioneers and legends within the fashion, art, music, and cultural world. Perfect as a gift or as an original decorative item in the contemporary home.
In his short 27 years, Jean-Michel Basquiat was one of the most influential artists of his time. Juxtaposing historical commentary, images, and text - his works had not only a visual, but poetic feel. Decades on, the themes explored through his artistry - inequality, racism, and injustice - still find relevance today.
Paying tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat’s look, the iconic three-point crown has been integrated on the back of this jacket suit design. The three-point crown has been a reoccurring symbol within Basquiat’s work resulting in an undeniable association with Basquiat himself and the celebration of his short, yet prolific career. The crown, a symbol of power, was used by Basquiat to elevate the subjects of his paintings, while commenting on power dynamics mirrored within his works.
