Film & Fashion Fridays : Twin Peaks memories pt I

Ok, technically these snaps are from the Twin Peaks series, not the Fire Walk With Me movie.

However, I believe Twin Peaks is such a classic that I'm going to overlook this technicality this one time.

I just discovered all these screen shots I had saved on my old PC and decided they were too good not to share!

I mean sure, we still have a lot of summer left, but thinking about the fall these just feel like EXACTLY what I'd want to wear for the next season. Take it more like an expanded moodboard - forest walpapers, velvet sofas, bow ties, bolo ties, tweed, western shirts, navajo prints, menswear, 90s make up...

Since there are so many, I will break it into 2 parts for you :)

Enjoy!

Haunted Air

"The perishing of fabrics and the rotting of early rubber, due to chemical instabilities and damp conditions, create new and sinister, puzzling abnormalities. Time and repeated wear have caused a beautiful metamorphosis, never intended or imagined by the maker."

— Ossian Brown

I fell in love with Haunted Air when I first saw it exposed at the Pompidou a couple of years ago during the Nouveau Festival : this vitrine of pocket-sized, crinkly old photos displayed on dark velvet, slightly warped.

As you well know I do have a strong love for found photographs, but these were some of the strangest images I have ever encountered; they all showcased the most disturbing, primitive and dark Halloween costumes.

Ex-Coil member Ossian Brown must have spent many years unearthing these images and the book edition is equally beautiful, complete with words by David Lynch and Geoff Cox.

It's been out for 2 years already but I still find it one of the most intriguing collection of not only Halloween photography, but found photos in general.

There's a nice selection complete with captions here.

Happy Halloween!
