Instinct was my drive in doing this remix on a classic Dick Walsh Statue. Waking up this morning totally inspired by The Maison Margiela Fall 2016 Ready-To-Wear Show by John Galliano as seen in VOGUE RUNWAY. A Fenelon in rich emerald green flocking finish, I piled accessories that were given to me, bought or borrowed. Blasting music Rihanna ANTI Same Ol' Mistakes. In the process, snap chatting every edit. Starting with the Selfie Night Mask and just going with it. Combining a number of intricate pieces -some couture (Washer Bolt Nut necklace with Leather Rope Detail REMY & MERCY given to me By Fashion Designer Karen Vaquliar), some given (Silver Cross necklace given to me by my mentor Sebastien Lauzon & Multi layer crystal necklace given to me by Jewelry Designer Jocelyn Tamin) and some just scrap of a CHANEL ribbon wrapping. I then started to stage the statue with dog figurines wrapped in matte black movie masking tape by Sebastien Lauzon. Setting them on either side of the statue like guards. The dogs are on top of fashion books (Kelly Cutrone's IF YOU HAVE TO CRY GO OUTSIDE & Annemarie Iverson's IN FASHION) and lux perfumes (DIOR HOMME SAVAGE, Maison Margiela UNTITLED and VERSACE Versace Jeans Couture) staged naturally like they are in a bustle for attention. Snap chatting away with every edit to elevate my vision, throwing fur (Fur stole borrowed from Natalie Pinosonneault) on one shoulder. Rihanna's new album playing loud in the background and lighting a MARLBORO Lights to get in character. I took my Lady Super Long Cigarette Holder referencing Audrey Hepburn in the movie FUNNY FACE, taped it under the neck of the masked dog on the left and added a cigarette so it seems it's ready to be lit. Standing back taking pauses inhaling that MARLBORO. I grab my white SUPREME hat that was drenched in mojito juice after a drunkin nite, never bothered to get it cleaned it looks so aged couture. I installed it on the head of the statue slightly slanted to the right for attitude. Grabbed the CHANEL ribbon, taped it to the neck of the statue and let the extra ribbon drop naturally. Taking a step back once again snap chatting away , lighting comes to mind -covering the head of the lamp with a light gel -cosmetic pink and Thank you -clamping it with a clothespin. All this knowledge thanks to my mentor & did i mention he works on movie sets and Thank you very much. Taking another step back, taking the last snap, it was all for the picture.
