SHOW DETAILS BOX ACCESSORIES MAGAZINE
The all new showdetails magazine – A crooked, eccentric, bizarre glance at contemporary world.Show Details Box Accessories seem to inhabit an increasingly narrow, slippery ridge made up of twists and turns. With the knowledge that the end result might be a twisted yet conceptual and intellectual aesthetic. This complicated lightness is established in a single, enormous three-way trend. There are the modern, slightly sober, eclectics, who offer a single venture into eccentricity (such as the pompoms on Salvatore Ferragamo’s shoes, the waves on Fendi’s boots, Marni’s constructed jewellery, Dior’s sunglasses with incorporated filters). The art deco eclectics, providing a whirlwind of friezes (Givenchy’s boots with segmented heels, Miu Miu’s tapestry belts, Maison Margiela’s flared heels), with an off-beat anti-conventional and anti-conformist streak.
And the final bunch of eclectics, the millennials,which veer away from a perverse, hyper-decorated classicism towards a more athletic route (such as Versace’s (printed) and Emilio Pucci’s briefcases, Louis Vuitton’s basketball-like boots, Prada’s après-ski boots, the studs on Alexander Wang’s and Mulberry’s shoes). All of them provoke aesthetic short-circuits looking to such extravagant and irresistible icons as Peggy Guggenheim, Diana Vreeland, Anna Piaggi, Iris Apfel and all those personalities that light up the darkness of minimalism like so many dazzling spotlights, scaring the boring and turning the modest crazy. A destabilising factor, accessories are becoming a source of surprise, sweeping away any ascetic spirit. A systematic moving away from any pragmatic idea of immediacy. An “absurdism” created with a blend of disdain for tradition and narcissism and a love of the artificial and exaggerated, of young adult competition.
