Concept Store
Romain Brau and Anna Kushnerova (posing above as the retail version of Adam and Eve) merged their initials to create RA – an Antwerp Pick of the infallible Horst – "Visually as entertaining as the closet of a drag queen (exploded), the concept store offers a colourful mix of Japanese design, London graduate collections and conceptual accessories."
In the wonderful world of postmodern sameness, art museums rush to imitate expensive boutiques, while boutiques simultaneously rush to imitate art museums.
Above, a small sampling of the curatorial selections currently view-able (and purchase-able) at AR –
1 - 'Taxi driver seat' laptop case / designed by Henrik Vibskov
2 - Multi-coloured fur / designed by Moonspoon Saloon
3 - Headpiece / designed by Meadham Kirchhoff
4 - Headwear / designed by Romain Brau
