The Sonya Rykiel knit dress is INSANE! Also, Alexander McQueen is the best...that table is crazy. Oh and Etro campaign ads are some of my favorites because they always push the limits.
I love etro, basso & brooke and of course Chanel bag! :)
Have a great day, CC!

nice and a little trippy. i forget where i saw that photo of the guy standing on his head but i remember thinking 'really?'
that upside down house is so cool! i wonder if the furniture inside is that way too?
love the white chanel bag, not seen it before, so interesting!
and dress from pieces of china? amazing!
I wish I lived in an upsidedown house!
This post was such a visual treat! The images are so intriguing, and I love the porcelain dress--it's quite a literal spin on the porcelain-inspired dresses at Dior's SS09 couture show.
I LOVE that red & white short set on the Basso & Brooke photo!
Incredible work, darling!
I like Melvin Sokolsky's photo, Blue mask and photo via V magazine.

I'm feeling dizzy and sick anyway so I am not sure if that post was the best thing to look at, lol. But I totally TOTALLY want that pencil shaving cuff thingy!!!
Thank you thank you thank you for sharing these pictures with us! Amazing, love them.
wow so interesting! have you seen that sidewalk chalk artist who draws surreal pictures on the ground that look 3d?
the knit dress - it's dreamy. and so intriguing. very creative you!
xo, a
this entry was so fun to read. my favorites are the pencil shaving cuff and the chanel bag (genius!)

you do? that's awesome! hey, do you speak english or spanish? xx.
I love the spirit of this post. The Etro campaign is great and I'm amazed by the modernity of Melvin Sokolsky's photograph. Don't know if Tim Walker takes some of his inspiration from Sokolsky but they have a close universe. xoxo, MG.
That porcelain dress is mind blowing.
Great post! I can't wait to see Tokyo Fashion Week! Did I tell you I am going as press? Be sure to check it out..it will be around march 23-28
omg these pics are insaneee haha
I love the white chanel bag! so chic!!
oooh I'd love to live in one of those crazy houses!!
Maison Martin Margiela is always so surreal - I never know what's going on! But I really like the sideways(?) Chanel handbag. It kind of makes you take a second look to see if it was really made that way. Love it! (:
Thanks for the lovely comments on my blog.. yours makes me want to paint fashion all day long.
the upside down house made me wooooooooooozy...
I adore this post! Surrealism is so fun.

Works of art especially the blue&white china porcelain!
Love this artistic post CC dahhlin'!
CC, it's me again....
forgot to tell you that it was me under Alexander McQueen's glass table on my last trip to London...I gotta thank W magz for cropping my face cos' I got a huge pimple that will not go away even w airbrushing! Besides, my dad would disown me!!! LOL* Anyway, I'd do it again for my dear Alexander the genius...perhaps next time I'd wear knee-pads...ouch*
;o]
forgive my vulgarity but the house in Korea DOES remind me of a giant toilet...
oh my... some of these are really surreal.. that last "dress" !. but i guess, once again, fashion is all about experiment and fantasy??
Wow...there's so much for the eye to chew on here. Love your selections.
What an original post!!
I specially love that House in Suweon *.*
xx
Thanks for the credit!!!
The unreal is so fun! Fabulous!
love this - that prometheus statue is in dc at hains point - his knees come out of the ground too.
Wonderfully surreal, I especially liked the tiny models in the giant table and chair and the dress made of Delftware! xoxo
I'm in complete love with the Chanel bag!
just love the chanel white bag!
OF COURSE I will be your valentine, CC! It would be an honour and a joy. This post is fantastic, by the way x
Best post EVER !
