HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE‘S CIOCCOLATO SHOES

Posted on 2026-01-12

Homme Plissé Issey Miyake’s Cioccolato shoes are a sculptural take on the classic lace-up, inspired by the form and texture of a chocolate bar. Its standout feature is the distinctive toe design, which fuses an oblique toe, angled from the big toe to the little toe, with a chiseled edge silhouette, creating a sharp yet softened profile. The shoes come fitted with a concealed “fly-front” lace system, minimizing decorative elements for a clean, sculptural look. The upper is crafted from matte materials that emphasize the sculptural lines, while the outsole’s squared edge frames the shoe in a way that echoes the segmented geometry of chocolate.

HILDA PALAFOX – DE TIERRA Y SUSURROS

Posted on 2026-01-05

In this powerful body of work, Palafox explores a metaphoric and visual language rooted in Latin American folklore and ecofeminist thought. With this series she reflects on humanity’s interdependence with the natural world.

Rooted in the human condition, Palafox’s practice addresses themes of identity and resilience through a distinctly feminine lens. Her work unfolds as an inquiry into subjectivity and the body, balancing intimacy with monumentality. Exploring the tension between public grandeur and inner sensitivity, Palafox’s imagery resides between the invisible emotional landscape and its external, formal expression. There is an internal order in her painting, grounded in the solidity of pictorial space, the curvilinear rhythm of her lines, and a palette that creates atmospheres both familiar and otherworldly. Palafox reimagines everyday scenes as meditations on emotion and consciousness, weaving analogies between domestic life and the natural environment. Her figures, often rendered in ambiguous form, become metaphors for collective humanity, transcending gender while anchored in the feminine experience.

NORMAN ROCKWELL – FROM CAMERA TO CANVAS

Posted on 2026-01-05

Norman Rockwell: From Camera to Canvas reveals an intimate and little-known side of one of America’s most beloved artists. For over forty years, photography served as the foundation of Rockwell’s creative process, his bridge between imagination and the finished painting. After producing initial sketches, Rockwell turned to the camera to stage his ideas, choreographing every detail of gesture, light, costume, and expression to bring his vision vividly to life before he ever touched a brush to canvas.
