René Magritte spotted by Opening Ceremony by Silvia Moya
René Magritte (Lessines - Belgium, 1898 - Brussels, 1967) is one of the most important painters of the Surrealism (do you remember when we spoke about another key figure in this movement: Salvador Dalí & Elsa Schiaparelli: The surreal couple?).
Magritte's main feature is to link bizarre elements with foolish scenes with the intention of not having an implicit meaning to be decrypted.
René Magritte (Lessines – Bélgica
1898 – Bruselas 1967) es uno de los pintores más importantes que
representan el surrealismo(recordemos que ya
hemos hablado de otra figura clave de este movimiento: Salvador Dalí,
en artículos anteriores). Su principal característica reside
en el hecho de asociar, en sus trabajos, elementos dispares entre los
que establece nexos disparatados que no tienen por qué tener un
significado implícito que sea necesario descifrar.
Among its most recognized masterpieces are The Lovers (1928), The Son of Man (1964), Golconda (1953) or This is not a Pipe (1929)
Entre sus obras clave y más
reconocidas se encuentran Los Amantes (1.928), El Hijo del Hombre
(1.964), Golconda (1.953) o Esto no es una Pipa (1.929).

Although they are not the only pieces that the world in general and fashion in particular have used as inspiration to create collections and even fashion editorials. The most famous tribute came from Opening Ceremony last May by Vans, Birkenstock and Manolo Blahnik.
The temple of fashion based in New York, Los Angeles, London and Hong Kong founded by Humberto Leon and Carol Lim (which in turn are also creative directors of Kenzo) went on sale a capsule collection that you can still buy online.
Pero, por supuesto, no son las únicas
obras que el mundo en general, y la moda en particular, han
utilizado como inspiración para crear colecciones e incluso
editoriales de moda. El tributo más famoso es el que
realizó Opening Ceremony, el pasado mes de mayo, a través de Vans,
Birkenstock y Manolo Blahnik. El templo de la moda con sedes en Nueva
York, Los Angeles, Londres y Hong Kong fundado por Humberto Leon y
Carol Lim (que a su vez también son los directores creativos de
Kenzo) puso a la venta una colección cápsula que, a día de hoy,
todavía se puede adquirir, al menos, vía
on-line.
Magritte's oil on canvases: The Castle of the Pyrenees, 1959; or Attempting the Impossible, 1928;...are just some of the hundreds of works that inspire fashion editorials:
Castillo en Pirineos, Intentando lo
Imposible, Lecciones Imposibles… son sólo algunas de las obras que
inspiran cientos de editoriales de moda y las imágenes nos
remitimos:
The Castle of the Pyrenees by Magritte
Attempting the Impossible
(1928)
The sky with clouds, the bowler hat, men back, frames, crescents, umbrella ... are just some of the objects introduced in Magritte's painting. Our favorite shoot comes from the fashion photographer Fernando Maselli:
El cielo con nubes, el bombín, hombres
de espalda, marcos, medias lunas, paraguas… son sólo algunos de
los objetos protagonistas que se repiten en muchas de las escenas que
Magritte pinta. Nuestro guiño favorito es el que hace el fotógrafo
de moda Fernando Maselli en este reportaje:
And finally, the catwalk! The creative show has been inspired by Magritte too. We find him in designers like Viktor & Rolf, Moschino, Mary Katrantzou, Maison Martin Margiela and Comme des Garçons:
En pasarela también vemos contínuos
guiños al pintor por parte de algunos diseñadores como Viktor&Rolf
, Moschino (una de las firmas “gamberras” del momento), Mary
Katrantzou, Maison Martin Margiela o Comme des Garçons.
