Austrian photographer and deep sea diving enthusiast Andreas Franke has released a new series titled Stavronikita Project: The Life Above Refined Below being exhibited deep at the bottom of the Caribbean right off the coast of Barbados. It was less than two years ago that the adventurous photographer first introduced his idea of an underwater gallery, at 130 ft. deep, with his photography affixed to the sunken USS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg ship. This new exhibit, though similar in its approach, offers a new set of surreal images to view by diving undersea.

Franke’s latest project explores the decadent lifestyle of the wealthy during the Rococo era as it is juxtaposed with the decaying freight ship and swarming marine life as its backdrop. The Viennese artist uses images of his models imitating the period of opulent abundance as a contrasting visual to his deep sea captures of the SS Stavronikita, creating an intriguing image rich with interpretation. Like his previous work, Stavronikita is on display underwater, behind a plane of plexiglas, sealed in with silicone and a steel frame and attached to the ship with strong magnets. The exhibit can currently be seen, at a depth of 80 ft., through April 2013.

The Selkie in Irish, Scottish and Scandinavian folklore is a woman of the ocean who lives inside of a seal's skin. If a man were to find her skin after she took it off to sunbathe she would be his wife. But if she were to find her skin again she would go back to the ocean, free. This was the founder, Kimberly Gordon's, favourite folklore tale growing up. To her the story represented a woman, any woman, finding and being comfortable with her own skin and being free in it and the brand has been modelled after these ideals. Selkie was founded in the fall of 2018 as a ready-to-wear brand for women who just wanted something 'fanciful, nostalgic and extremely romantic.'

SELKIE SPRING 2023 was added onto NYFW. The main theme was 'UNICORN.' The runway itself included a wide variety of body sizes and shapes, a multitude of ethnicities and ages and it also included those with disabilities onto the runway. In my opinion, it is a statement saying that anyone can be a model and the models themselves looked like they were actually enjoying themselves with big smiles and theatrics.

I'm glad that this runway and brand is gaining lots of traction because it is a brand which genuinely cares about the inclusivity of everyone.

The lead makeup artist was Danessa Myricks, and their talented friend Linh Nguyen was leading the hair. The show was styled by Alisha Silverstein with Kimberley Gordon and Justine Babb. It was produced by Emily Bungert and cast by Julia Samersova with Kimberley Gordon. 

Handbags, including pastels and original jewellery like effervescent unicorn crowns and butterfly bustiers, were made in collaboration with Stonehart for this specific runway.

That's all. Thank you for letting me rant on about a brand that really like.

See you soon,
