FW16 "Impossible True Love" Viscose Shirt
The Piece
"Impossible True Love"a beautiful artwork by Christophe Chemin that became the key part of one of the most recognizable modern archive pieces. This version of the shirt is the viscose version which is the most expensive and sought after one.
„There is one motif that everyone loves: the kissing couple, that looks cheesy at first glance. I was interested in the artificiality of the moment, it is like a collage of different time levels” “It is the Egyptian goddess Isis. She wears a Cleopatra bracelet, which seems to have led everyone astray, and kisses a young soldier. A woman of great power and a man who is at the mercy of the state. I found this contrast exciting. Miuccia really wanted to bring back total kitsch, like those pictures of kissing couples on posters of historic ham from the sixties. People love it when two people kiss in the movie, but when two people do that next to them on the subway they feel disgusted.“
