Kenneth Anger Ad for Missoni


[Thanks K.]

What’s Missoni? I have no idea, even after watching this. Which is the best. Why don’t more big $$ machines give more $$ to arts, even if you have to put their name on it.

Dear Missoni, BP, Brad Pitt, whoever: if you pay me $$ to live for a while, I’ll write a book that has your entity’s object or glyphmark or whateverword in it. That’s not a sales pitch. I’m for $$ sponsorship, when it does not demand control, as this clearly did not. Props to places with taste. I like Missoni now, whatever it is.

      Missoni is like Zombocom, with better graphics.

      missoni = clothes worth lost of $$

      Missoni’s an Italian fashion house. They are awesome, so good on them for commissioning this. I like it. I’d make art for them if they paid me in couture.

  4. VC

      Cool. Maybe Bobby Beausoleil can do the music for the next Old Navy ad.

  5. Blake Butler

      i dont know what zombocom is either

      Maybe someone will throw Superman into a giant Coke sign.

      Colorful pricey knitwear! Yah I totally agree it’d be sweet if one could do brand placement with literary publishing!

      It’s like a more avant version of the Levi’s commercials featuring the Walt Whitman poems.

  24. Today I didn't even have to use my A.K.

      We watched our Louboutins go white, our Audis blacken. Natalia Vodianova collapsed against the night. Insects masked our Prada glasses so thick we couldn’t see. The husks of Vosges and Pierre Herme filled the gutters. Every inch mucked with Derek Blasberg. All spring the Dom sat stacked with haze so high and deep it seemed Cristal, a lidless cover sealing in or sealing out. Those were stretched Herve Legers, croaking. I don’t know what about them broke. I don’t know why the Fillico came down in endless veil.

      watching the singer from hootie and the blowfish, dressed up as a cowboy, singing in one of their commercials is one of the funniest things i have ever seen in my life.

      “Ken. Ken! Wake up! Blake’s gone goo-goo again! You grab the hose and the cords. I’ll get the lights.”
