L I F E / 'Beach Walk'

A ‘Beach Walk’ along the concrete docks of the Amsterdam harbor. We find the docklands most enchanting during the gloomy autumn and winter months, when the sea looks almost black and the skies are grey. The air here is salty, fresh, clean and cold, yet sometimes there is a vague industrial smell of gasoline and iron that passes you by.

Our friends at Margiela asked Romeo and me to send in an image of our favorite memories corresponding to one of the fragrances in the Replica line. These scents instantly evoke images and impressions and force lingering memories of touch, taste and smell, taking you back to a certain time and place. With contributions of artists from all over the world they will be creating a database of memories, a collective work art that is now on display at Galerie Philppe Jousse in Paris and the Replica tumblr.

i love the pictures - very margiela like. but they are not a "sun kissed salty skin" on a "beach walkt" at all (as the fragrance is supposed to smell). why did you decide to do a "nightmare version" of the theme? xo

LOVE AESTHETICS said...

Thanks everyone for the kind words, so happy to hear you enjoy the images.

at anonymous:
The idea was to give our own interpretation of the Replica titles. A California beach is something very distant and strange for me. Though when I tried to come up with an idea for 'Lazy Sunday Morning' for example it felt like I had to think to come up with something. The title beach walk just immediately brought the image of the dark Dutch water to mind. And I think that was exactly Margiela's point; to evoke a memory.
I don't think it's the nightmare version of it at all, just because it is different from the usual cliche beach scene. The Amsterdam docks are just beautiful, impressive, busy, alive, partly still an industrial area with huge boats passing by, and partially becoming a place for art and cultural events.

All the shades of grey, the white contrast, the immeasurable space! There is so much poetry in these images! I feel in love.

Fantastic work Ivania.

Fijn weekend!

It's simple and one of my favorite outfit posts from you, it's more editorial and like a mood shot and it's so amazing Ivania. Very DYNAMIC! Btw, I just uploaded an exclusive preview of the LOUIS VUITTON S/S14 showroom visit I attended of Marc Jacob's final collection, check it out to see all the PROVOKING details of couture beadings and huge feather showgirl headdresses!

Dear Ivania

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer profoundly. I get your point. By all means I didn't want to express something negative with the term "nightmare version" - I consider myself as a "nightmare" person too who's more into obscure and colourless than the bright, shiny and glossy world. Just after I commented I felt ridiculous about my question because I know it would have felt so wrong to see you in a bikini on a sunny and sandy beach with a cocktail in your hand (therefore you go for a random plastic bag - haha, you know how to keep it simple sister).

It's interesting that Romeo and you were able to create such a calm atmosphere despite of the noisy and busy surrounding of the Amsterdam docks. I love that fact.

Those pictures remind me so much of one of my favorite paintings. Its called The Monk by the Sea by Caspar David Friedrich (about 1808-10). You somehow created the modern and urban version of the same mood. At least your photographs managed to evoke the same feeling in me.

Have a nice sunday and keep up with the good work

BITCOIN, BINARY OPTION: i am one of the Victims. At first, the software seemed to be really professional and authentic. I found many favorable reviews about its performance and delivered results. So, I decided to invest in it and try to achieve success in the online trading sphere. Soon, I realized that the software was swallowing all my investments. Brokers are nothing more than a dangerous and fraudulent platform. I invested over $ 140,000 and couldn't withdraw my money, months passed and still nothing. So, God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their funds. I contacted the email provided for consultation,   I got feedback after some hours and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay,  to my greatest surprise, I have been able to recover $ 100,000 and the remaining $ 40,000 is in progress. I really can't tell how happy I am. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back, you can as well hire him today by Email: ( info@wizardcharlesgrouphackers.com  )
