the sacred and profane

i’m all for things that are a little over the top.  it’s no secret that fashion has been borrowing heavily from punk for some time.  good or bad?  it is what it is, i guess.   i’m not really sure that delfina delettrez fendi or damien hirst had that in mind when creating either of these [...]
