Abstract
-
Putrid, suppurative, inflamed, diseased…
To me, the bubonic plague dresses fashionably in a little black dress, a mortal nod to Coco; tuberculosis is wispy, ethereal, pallid; and syphilis dons couture, sickly ostentatious. Each sports its history, its iconography, its oeuvre one might say.
Pesta, the fashion collection, corporealizes the imponderabilia of disease in 9 distinct looks, suffused in their motifs and literature and egregious beauty.
