Sticky Note 03: Now that is just 'Dandy'

Recently I discovered a dynamic installation by a Stockholm based firm named 'Form Us With Love'. They have kindly allowed me to post photo's from the installation on my blog which is so exciting.
Here is a little extract from the press release for the installation called Dandy.

What is a dandy? What does he look like? Some say a
dandy is a particular person. Others say a dandy is a way
of life. The architecture of the exhibition dissect the dandy
into pieces. "We wanted to expose the details that makes
the Dandy" says John Löfgren, Jonas Pettersson and Petrus
Palmér of Form Us With Love.

The architecture consists of dismembered mannequins,
fused with MDF boxes which then has been laqcuered in a
slate grey, giving the illusion that a stonecutter has started
working on sculptures, but only finished the parts essential
for the exhibition pieces.

The exhibition gives examples of how a contemporary Dandy
could look. Tailor Frederik Andersen, fashion researcher Rickard
Lindqvist, journalist Olaf Enckell, stylist Lalle Johnson, author Björn
af Kleen, designer Göran Sundberg and shop owner Christian Quaglia
have all given their suggestions on the modern style dandy.
