Vanessa Beecroft is famous in two realms: the museum world, and the Kanye one. Since 1993, she’s created performance art pieces using fashion models instead of paint. Since West launched his first Yeezy collection, she’s been his hands-on collaborator, staging shows that were part catwalk, part gallery installation, and part hip-hop legend.
But today in Milan, Beecroft paired with a very different label—Tod’s—to present VB Handmade, a living picture starring Karlie Kloss and 12 other models perched on a giant table. The girls were wrapped in needle-studded leather from Tod’s artisans. Some wore silicon breast covers instead of tops; Kloss donned a redheaded wig similar to Beecroft’s own hair.
What did it all mean? According to the show notes, “Vanessa interprets the quality and craftsmanship of Tod’s artisans, translating their art into contemporary glamour.”
