Versace at the Groninger Museum

Versace at the Groninger Museum, or in the full, official tiitle of the exhibition: Gianni Versace Retrospective. We, Mimi Berlin Blogger Team, visited the Groninger Museum and that’s what we want to share with you today. Just because we can!

As you may well know, Versace was a very HOT brand in the 1980s and 1990s, Gianni Versace truly celebrated it’s heydays at that time. Supermodels, vivid colors, bold prints, gold, sex and Greek mythology are things we associate with Versace. And you probably do too!

The Versace retrospective shows us clothes, scarves, jewelry, magazines, fashion shows, sketches, books etc. all dating specifically from 1989 to1997.
Paris based Agence NC designed the exhibition and divided everything in themes such as pop, bondage and so on. We won’t elaborate too much on the show itself any further, because it is always best to go see it for yourself! But, we do want to share our images!
You’re Welcome

Abdominoplasty by Steinbusch x Foot Care by Penn

Posted on 25/06/2019 by Mimi Berlin Amsterdam

Beauty and fashion

At the 2019 Fashion Show of ArtEZ Arnhem, during the presentation of Birgit Steinbusch‘ collection ‘Abdominoplasty’, we really had to think of one of our all-time favorite images by Irving Penn; could not get it out of our mind. Penn’s photo ‘foot care’ was made in 1990 for Vogue Magazine.

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty or “tummy tuck” is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to make the abdomen thinner and more firm. The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the muscle and fascia of the abdominal wall. This type of surgery is usually sought by patients with loose or sagging tissues after pregnancy or major weight loss.
