Rei, I Don't Exist

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.

    Seven Veils by Byredo: Devised by Byredo founder Ben Gorham, the scent is based on Salome’s dance of the seven veils, a story of many layers. A spicy, oriental composition, 'Seven Veils' is built around top notes of carrot and pimento berries; a heart of Tahitian vanilla flower, laurier rose, glycine and tiger orchid and a sandalwood and vanilla base.
