Artist Rei Nadal offers a unique take on 'Fashion Fetish' by curating the SHOWstudio Tumblr for a one-week period from 2-8 April 2012 inclusive. Her work juxtaposes found imagery with phrases and self-portraits - postmodern poetry for the digital age - fuelled in this instance by a selection of objects, cosmetics and fashion items delivered daily to her home, and documented here.

Petite Mort by Marc Atlan, Edition 3 of 100 - Inspired directly by the only bodily fluid secreted solely through desire and brain chemistry, Petite Mort (Parfum d'une Femme) embodies the elusive substance that is created by a woman when she is about to climax. Petite mort, little death, total release; beyond a scent, more like a convulsion of the senses, like a hot, gasping breath that penetrates your memories and alters your subconscious. An insidiously attractive, sharp redolence, on the fine line between repulsion and addiction, Petite Mort insinuates itself into your veins and your mind. This fragrance is not really a classic scent. It is more the representation of a spiritual state, based on the paradox of an impossible ephemerality. It is perfume as art, the olfactory preservation of a moment, so that it may live forever.Petite Mort by Marc Atlan, Edition 3 of 100 - Inspired directly by the only bodily fluid secreted solely through desire and brain chemistry, Petite Mort (Parfum d'une Femme) embodies the elusive substance that is created by a woman when she is about to climax.
