Art takes many forms, from detailed oil painting to a vagina carved out of soap. But just a warning for the squeamish or the easily offended, this is a perio...
Also a $500,000 gold ring covered in its maker's flesh, which i can shamefully admit to kind of wanting if only for the strangeness factor
The Sruli ring has been posted before, surely. Anyway, I think WTF is what he was aiming for. You don't make a thing like that if your primary interest is design. But I don't really like anything Sruli has done so far, so I'm not the one to ask on that.
Vaginal knitting: I at least am A-OK with it. I stared at Martin Sheen's real blood in Apocalypse Now, and I see loads of blood every year watching AFL. Seeing her real womb cells on a bit of wool is hardly worse than that. She's just drawing attention to how differently we treat her bodily fluids in an artwork to those of say, Jackson Pollock in a lot of his work.
I actually really like the SR ring and would wear it daily if I could.
Also vaginal knitting went into a completely different direction than I thought. That's fine. At first I thought it was referring to sewing... shudder...

you are correct. there was a fucking hilarious reddit thread some time ago, wherein would-be pundits mocked various of mr recht's designs for being laughably fucked-up, without realizing the humour was intentional. (i mean, really, the engrish on the web site should be an immediate tip-off.) sort of like getting offended at swift for endorsing cannibalism, y'know? misses the point, rather. it's saddening that sruli gets so little love. he's a wryness to him lacking in most other designers.
and i thought the vagina knits were clever self-commentary on the masturbatory nature of bad art.

Sruli has done some really imaginative work that I love. I think he should do product design instead of fashion - it would really do his creativity justice. Of course, it's easy to say "Y should do X" and much harder to actually do it.

agreed, but the fact that the imagination and wit he brings to bear on fashion are more commonly found in that field is precisely what brings such innovation and vivacity to his clothing, and the runway shows themselves
