Dryer, Cleaner, More Myself.
Safety pins festooned in a decorative cluster act as an aura that’s been upset. The beauty parlor and the 1950s-era trope function as a conjoined context for new dimensions into selfhood and ego swaddling. The midpoint of the 20th century marked the century-long actualization of a need for social presentiment and private glorification. I matter most in this realm of futurist design. And the only thing that anyone sees is an aesthetic sheen. ~ Brian Alessandro, Editor-in-Chief
