Chanel fashion accessories are made out of dead rats
Brazilian artist Kristofer Paetau made 5 custom, fake Chanel fashion accessories out of dead rats -- a bra, a handbag, a handkerchief, a slip and a pair of shoes and got 5 Brazilian transsexual models to model them for a special fashion photography exhibition.
I'm not so sure what the concept for this is or why anyone would think of creating a garment out of dead rats. It is very distrubing and gross. I can't imagine who would buy any of those items let alone wear them, besides the transexual models, which I don't get either.
If these sort of thing interests anyone, you can see the photographs in the group exhibition "Status Questionis" at Annie Gentils Gallery in Antwerp, Belgium from December 7, 2007 until January 19, 2008.
