Pharell Williams (care mie imi place f tare pentru ca acum cativa ani eram destul de entuziasmata de N.E.R.D) este un mic artist, cu o feblete pentru pietre pretioase si alte designuri lucioase.
Ceea ce vroiam sa spun e ca Pharell si Takashi Murakami au colaborat de curand la o mega-lucrare numita, intr-o fina ironie superflat “The Simple Things”.

The Simple things is all about… the simple things batute cu nestemate, ca-n harap alb, capul cerbului, da da. Si monstrul, Mr. Dod, care incearca sa manance the simple things. And the simple things are:

[...] seven of Pharrell’s favorite items: Johnson’s Baby Lotion, condoms, Doritos, ketchup, a can of Pepsi, a cupcake, and a sneaker, re-created in metal and diamonds. Lots and lots of diamonds. Not exactly what we think of when we think “simple.” High Snobriety has a video featuring Pharrell discussing the work, and the simple things in life that get “overlooked.” “These things are the glue to my personality,” he says. (via The Original Winger)

“The Simple Things” si-a facut aparitia mult asteptata la targul de arta de la Basel, unde s-a vandut in primele 20 de minute pentru 2 millioane de euro, dolari, who cares.

Aici, Pharell vorbeste cu o gagica foarte intepata, si nici el micutul nu e tocmai elocvent.

Ca sa clarificam cel putin opinia mea – mie-mi place “the Simple Things”, mi se pare ca arata genial. Imi place Pharell (si cum distinge el micutul intre bling si diamante), si consider ca o colaborare cu Murakami e putin mai smechera decat your usual Louis Vuitton line (like Murakami’s) sau designish shoes. Asa ca pt mine, Pharell este PH Popular (in a good way). And yes, i love cupcakes!
