If you’re not into modern art, you’re probably thinking, “Damien who?”
Here’s a quick rundown: Damien Hirst is a pretentious post-modern artist/oddball who cuts apart cows, puts the pieces in aquariums, and sticks ‘em in a gallery. He’s more-recently famous for creating a diamond-covered cast of a human skull priced at $99 million.
So what would a guy like this do with a pair of Levi’s?
While you might expect something gruesome, gothic, or totally lame “avant garde,” the artist’s creation is actually fairly straightforward and, in my humble, non-artistic opinion, a pretty obvious choice. Hirst takes a normal pair of black denim jeans, and grafted them with little crystal skulls.
Um…great.
There’s more to come at New York Fashion Week, but if this is any indication, I wouldn’t hold your breath.
