Last fall, kanye west asked m/m (paris) to design the album packaging for 'my beautiful dark twisted fantasy'. west had commissioned george condo to create a series of paintings featuring the characters who populate his musical fantasies. during the creative process, m/m (paris) created a series of hand drawn ornamented frames to adorn the powerful and iconic condo paintings.
m/m (paris) and kanye west wanted to find a luxurious expression of their creative efforts —and decided to transform them into voluptuous silk scarves. resulted five full color scarves made of 100% silk twill, each featuring one of the album covers painted by george condo and embedded in an intricate gold frame with hand drawn lettering by m/m (paris). each scarf is produced in a strictly limited edition of 100 units.
the combination of this luxurious visual language over the traditional 'twill de soie' is the ultimate celebration of the magically ornamented sounds of 'my beautiful dark twisted fantasy'.
