No really- like flour, yeast, oil... Yeah.
New online mag "Flamboyant" has included various pictures of branded and otherwise odd baked goods in their "Daily Bread" section of their first issue.
We've seen this kind of Appropriation before- in candy, cakes, guns, antlers and remember the LV electric chair and LV monogram live PIGS?
Uh... yeah. The black leather bandaids, I could see. For those injured goth or rocker types.
Luxist wrote on the leather version, and I thought... "hmmm, interesting concept- and looks like they're getting some press." I mean, at our house, we've got "Camp Rock" bandaids, and Hello Kitty bandaids and Camo bandaids- but nobody's doing cool bandaids for folks over 11. What about white patent? Or Leopard? I think people might buy those... But the whole unauthorized Louis Vuitton monogram version was a turn-off.
What do you think?
I know I'm beating this dead horse- (and I hate that phrase- the poor horse!)-- but really. "Fusion art"? Come on now.
In case you've forgotten the formula (and how could you since literally EVERYONE is doing it...)
1. Take one unexpected item- Gun, Bullet, Electric Chair, Statue of African Baby, Lollipop, piece of Classic Art
2. Add internationally recognizable luxury brand signature monogram- LV, CC, GG, FF, YSL, Dior
3. Find an Art Gallery- and open your exhibit!
Seriously, though. Who isn't doing this? I guess luxury brands spend millions and millions of dollars promoting their brand's marks- so folks are going to do what they can to make a little money on it.
I love that I want to say "why would we care"... but obviously I'm blogging it...
