RENE' MAGRITTE AND AGATHA RUIZ DE LA PRADA: THE STRANGE COUPLE

A very lively and explosive fashion parade Agatha Ruiz de la Prada is an event confining with the theatre or with the circus’ fable aspects and it is like that also when her inspiration comes from a great and cheered artist as René Magritte.

In the wise and a bit crazy hands of the Spanish fashion designer, also the surreal and scary themes of the Belgian painter are full of irony and play and every psychoanalytic characteristic of Magritte’s oneiric subjects is left apart for being substituted by the fun and playful hyperbole.

In the autumn-winter 2010 collection among the colourful sculpture-like-dresses of Agatha we can find punctual citations but never obvious together with titles of many paintings of this maestro of the surrealism, in love with the optical illusion of the  estrangement.

It is the case of the busts made with cages or bricks, or of the enlarged details of the body, or again the exchange between what is inside and outside, with dresses that instead of containing her they become flesh.

All this lived through the joyful and optimistic filter of the pink glasses of a magic-stylist that will continue to make people talk about her.
