Museum Mile

Today’s release brought us a brand new Museum Mile collection, and I’m thrilled to say it returned to the store’s artistic roots! This drop showcases a mix of breathtaking paintings, sculptures and couture pieces that can truly be called wearable art.

First off, I really missed this kind of Museum Mile release. The previous tribute style clothing drops didn’t quite match the original concept of the store (with the exception of that stunning Westwood limited collection from a few years ago, that was a masterpiece on its own).

This new release curated by Vulacano includes several iconic artworks, with the famous paintings: The Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel, The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, Ophelia by John Everett Millais and Coin du Bassin aux Nymphéas by Claude Monet. And sculptures like The Abduction of a Sabine Woman by Giambologna, David by Michelangelo, Torso of Aphrodite (based on a work by Kallimachos, represented here through a damaged Roman copy), Seated Buddha from Gandhāra by unknown artisans from the Gandhāra region (present day northern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan)and the Bust of Nefertiti by Thutmose.

The store also includes some decorative pieces as a Ming Dynasty vase (Jar with Dragon), a Temple of Artemis column, a Roman-style column and an African mask representation. For the fashion side, the release features truly artistic creations, including dresses inspired by designers like Guo Pei, Rokh, Dior, and Schiaparelli. These designs blend seamlessly with the artistic theme and elevate the whole concept of fashion as art.

I must add that this curated collection was worthy of a limited release — it's actually better than most of the limited decor releases we've had over time. I don’t know about you, but I’m loving this return to form. You can see the real life item below:
