Ramsey Boat Neck Sequin Dress — Alice and Olivia

Ladies, meet the luxe of your life. We can’t stop dreaming about this frock’s chic-and-sleek silhouette thanks to a body-bending fit and classic bateau neck. Awash in heaps (we repeat: heaps!) of matte gold sequins, wearing this dress will make you glow. Seriously, the effect is that good.

Theresa Himmer, Volcano #01The Mountain SeriesReykjavik, Iceland 2006 - 2008 The Mountain Series is made up from three large-scale sequin installations, and was created in Iceland during the period leading up to and following the economic crash in October 2008. The series investigates the relationship between natural and artificial landscapes while speaking to the increasing commodification of Icelandic nature. The sequin system that the installations are constructed from is a commercial product that comes from the world of advertising and display. Within this context, the sequin’s constant movement and flickering is desirable as a means of catching the consumer’s eye. These exact visual qualities recall how landscapes respond to changes in wind and light. As the sequins scintillate like water, ice or lava, the installations have an immediate visual and formal quality, which, in this framework, addresses the relationship between nature and artifice. Simultaneously the appropriation of the sequins serves as a critical gesture. (via Theresa Himmer: Sequences Real Time Art Festival 2008 (IS))
