orcelain tchotchkes aren't exactly what one thinks of when thinking modernity. Or so I thought. I have always been an admirer of skilled workmanship and old-world details and Nymphenburg certainly has some mad skillZ! They often partnership with designers of all sensibilities. I was drawn to the Capitano Spavento figurine from their Couture line, birthed out of a collaboration with fashion designer Gareth Pugh. It embodies just enough of the funky, punky attitude I love. Reminds me of the Grace Jones erotic dance scene from her cult(ish) hit(ish) vampire movie - aptly named VAMP. She's painted head to toe in Keith Haring black and white makeup. I want this "Nymph" piece for my mantle - which could get very crowded, very soon!
