I love listening. It is one of the only spaces where you can be still and moved at the same time. — Nayyirah Waheed — Monday November 28th — —

“What art does — maybe what it does most completely — is tell us, make us feel that what we think we know, we don’t. There are whole worlds around us that we’ve never glimpsed.” Greil Marcus — Monday November 28th — —

Close Up & Private x Costume National

Costume National asked Sergei Sviatchenko from Close Up & Private to give his take on the Autumn/Winter ’11/’12 collection. The result is “The Beetles News”. In a mix of photography and collage the style is inspired on a concert back in 1965 from The Beatles in Milano. An inspiring mix of classic style and minimalism. As Ennio Capasa describes it: “In Sergei’s work I see many of Costume National’s characteristics: simplicity, attention to detail, pop style and minimalism”.
