Shelf Appeal

An artificial sweetener dispenser by Karl Lagerfeld; a hairbrush whose bristles had been replaced by locks of human hair; coloured contact lenses that sported the letters 'CD' across the iris: each of these fashion curios occupied the weird territory between fashion garment and accessory, examined here in a series of essays by SHOWstudio Editor in Chief Penny Martin.

About

An artificial sweetener dispenser by Karl Lagerfeld; a hairbrush whose bristles had been replaced by locks of human hair; coloured contact lenses that sported the letters 'CD' across the iris: each of these fashion curios occupied the weird territory between fashion garment and accessory. For the bi-monthly 'Editor's Choice' slot that ran from December 2003-2004, SHOWstudio Editor in Chief Penny Martin selected her then-current object of desire to analyse in this series of illustrative essays.
