Dandy is the title of the exhibition that explores how the modern day “dandy” may look…
The exhibition, at Nordiska Museet, Stockholm explores the Dandy of these days, starting from the Oscar Wilde’s vision who epitomised the term “dandy”, an 18th-century term for a man for whom sartorial elegance was fundamental.

RGB consists in the overlapping of three different patterns that results in unexpected and disorienting images. The colors mix up, the lines and shapes entwine becoming oneiric and not completely clear. Through a filter (a colored light or transparent material) it is possible to see clearly the layers in which the image is composed which showcases a series of wallpapers done in RGB that interact when exposed to different filters of light…

Mick Rock is a famous photographer better known as “The Man Who Shot the ’70s,” that became famous thanks to a picture taken to an unknown David Bowie in 1972. Then spent the next four decades capturing the who’s who of rock royalty.
We love Mick Rock and his style and his personal point of view to the rock’s universe that now we can see on a new book called “Exposed: The Faces of Rock ‘n’ Roll” and in the exhibition “Rock: Music” on view at NYC’s Morrison Hotel Gallery.
