A few years ago I suffered from a burn-out, this made my world become smaller and smaller. Protecting myself from the many outside impulses. It became a lonely bubble, turning personally inwards. Making something as getting groceries or take the tram almost impossible.

The work of Bart Hess is of the most tactile and intuitive nature. He first delved into instinctive textiles when studying at the Design Academy Eindhoven, where he created A Hunt for High Tech, a collection of materials that mimicked the bestial outer layers of unfamiliar hybrid species, accompanied by an evocative film that brilliantly brought his concepts to life. Over the past six years, Hess has developed an impressive roster of work. He has pinned, stretched, slimed and scraped materials in relation to the human body, and collaborated with the likes of Lucy McRae, Nick Knight, Lady Gaga, Iris van Herpen and Walter van Beirendonck. In 2013, he is the recipient of the Stichting Profiel prize and his work is the subject of a mid-career survey at the Rijksmuseum Enschede. The exhibition notes explain that Hess creates another world, one “in which technology melds body and object… when we don the materials and applications that Hess has created, we are transformed into a new but completely logical creature.” Hess feels that our bodies are increasingly becoming a platform for sensitive and interactive technology, and has constantly exposed the intimate relationship materials have upon our skin, including a concept for Philips Design that mounted an electronic tattoo underneath the skin’s surface. “It felt like a natural instinct for me to start working on the body. When I create a new design I always place it on my own skin even-though it originally was created as, for example, a flooring material. The fascinating thing about it for me is the combination of a skin and a material. By using a material on the body that is not the body’s own, but making it look like it could possibly be, I create a tension between the body and material.” Foamy, sweaty, blobular and molecular are the kinds of surfaces that Hess concocts. Flirting with a touch of the grotesque and the macabre, he explains that he tries “to find a balance between beauty and disgust or horror. I think the darker side of beauty has less restrictions because it hasn't been explored that much, which makes it more interesting for me to show to my audience”.[2] Through the use of design, film, photography and installation, Hess has found intimate ways for his textiles to communicate with their “audience”, and in 2012’s Work With Me pop-up studio, he was even able to involve some of them in the making process. If Hess is on the hunt for tactilities that can transform the design landscape, he is definitely on the right track. By innovating materials that braise, coat or titillate the body, he has opened up a sensual and sexually-charged discourse about the future of smart textiles. Hess introduces materials to our primal needs and innate sense of touch, showing that fabrications will first need to seduce us before they can become part of us. Text by Philip Fimmano

What are the basic list of products the skin needs to look radiant? But what about tonics, toners, lotions, serums and creams, dozens of varieties of masks? Does looking at the beauty market become confusing? Additionally, are you asking "what do I need to buy so that my skin is perfectly smooth, toned and fresh?"

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, although certain patent lawyers might disagree. Despite this phrase being uttered by the English cleric Charles Caleb Colton sometime in the 19th century, patent law has been in existence since at least 500 B.C.E. in Greece—although the rights were usually only granted for short periods of time.

I am at a bit of a loss as to how to list the amazing work of Megan Mitchell... it is art certainly, but it also falls under the heading of fashion, especially since the world of beauty and fashion seems to be both Mitchell's muse and curse. And finally, it seems that she is working within the context of jewelry as accessories, celebrating both the exquisite (using faceted glass and sparkling beads) and the grotesque (she makes wounds, gashes, rashes, boils, scars, and other assorted enemies of commercialized feminine beauty). Her work reminds me of the fine jewelry of Kali Arulpragasam, previously here, who creates wearable bullet holes and knife slashes out of gold and semi-precious stones.
