The Beast Within, the new addition to Valhalla – a collection of one-of-a-kind masks, handmade by upcoming artist Shin Murayama.
Proceeds will go to DESIGNERS AGAINST AIDS.
Shin Murayama’s masks are transforming in the most titillating way. Without covering the entirety of the face, and always leaving the eyes on display, Murayama’s masks rearrange facial structures and expressions while still leaving the wearer recognizable.
The newest mask The Beast Within was recently featured in Vogue Homme Japan Vol. 3, and will be sold in the IDLM Gallery.
The mask was featured in the editorial ‘Do It Yourself,’ shot by
Jeremy Kost and styled by Shun Watanabe.
Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Maybe the best way to uncover someone is to recreate half of their face.
Kost’s polaroid shots are exploitative of the realness aspect of the masks. His face may be covered, but don’t his eyes still pierce right
through you?
The Masks are available for purchase in the Gallery at the online store WWW.IDONTLIKEMONDAYS.US.Proceeds will go to DESIGNERS AGAINST AIDS.
The IDLM Gallery is an evolving project focused on offering true rarities of fashion. In an alliance between artists and I DONT LIKE MONDAYS, one-of-a-kind garment art is made and displayed in the IDLM Gallery.
These pieces of wearable art are exclusively at I DONT LIKE
MONDAYS, and each style is the only one ever created. As I DONT LIKE MONDAYS always aims for designers who push the boundaries of fashion, these artists go one step further and blur the lines between art and apparel.
