Unusual jewelry | gold-plated plated brass accessories

Unusual jewelry created by Imme van der Haak out of gold plated brass.
Plastic bodies, haptic suits, artificial limbs as fashion accessories: We have arrived at the post-human juncture William Gibson and Ridley Scott predicted years ago. Need more proof? Take a peek at the body-distorting jewelry of Dutch designer Imme van der Haak.











Van der Haak's gold-plated brass accessories go everywhere jewelry's not supposed to go: up your nose, around your entire ear, in your eye socket. They make fresh-faced models look like laser beam-wielding replicants, which, we guess, is all the rage nowadays.
Last month, we brought you news of face-botching jewelry from the designer Burcu Büyükünal. We had doubts that it would catch on, except among disturbed teenagers who've read too much J. G. Ballard. Now we're not so sure. What'll it be next: Injecting our faces with botulism?

Childhood Glorifying Photos

'Missing Garden' is a 'Rebellion Against the Life of Adults'

At first glance the ‘Missing Garden’ photo series did leave a sense of child-like innocence. The chalk drawings, the somewhat carefree expressions on the models faces all added up to this ‘glorification of childhood,’ as Whitezine puts it. Photographed by Dominik Smialowski with drawings by Monika Prus, the ‘Missing Garden’ photo series playfully advocates being young at heart. Yes, we may all have more responsibilities and even troubles, but that doesn’t mean we can’t live life and have fun.
