Le Scaphandre et le Papillon

ANTWERP, | DAN THE SCOUT, | art — Dan The Scout @ 1:00 pm

I found an almost literal translation of one of my favourite movies, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Le Scaphandre et le Papillon), in an antique store yesterday, with dozens of beautiful green butterflies trapped midflight in a belljar. Maybe not a diving bell specifically. But a frozen moment of beauty nonetheless. The same isolation and static symbolism.

So I got slightly carried away unpacking Gareth Pugh Fall Winter 09 stock for ra. But who can blame me, it is exciting, crazy clothing.

“This is a dress of minimal weight, made 4 easy elegance. It is smooth and does not ‘bubble’. You can wear it a few times, hand-wash at low temperature and iron carefully.”
“C’est une robe poids plume, élégance et facile à porter. Elle est lisse et ne cloque pas. Portez-la quelques fois. Lavez-la à la main et à basse temperature. Elle adore être repassée avec soin.”
