Art Comes with a Frame

Last time when I was at the art museum, we discussed the endless question about what defines art. It’s one of those questions that can fill heavy books, but our guide came up with a simple yet fabulous answer: Art needs a frame!

Of course, the answer is too simplified to be taken seriously, but it brought a smile to my face and still lingers in my thoughts. This makes it a very good answer. It might be no coincidence, that I decided to frame myself with my earrings: So what do you say, am I art now?

The other inspiration for this look is certainly Moschino’s SS20 collection that is dedicated to Picasso and his muses. Jeremy Scott created a wild mix of art and fashion and I love how he turns the models into graceful walking artworks. The collection shows the human being as a canvas and that describes very well how I see myself as well: My own canvas that I carry with me all the time, allowing me to define and express who I am day after day. I can jump from surrealism, to dadaism to pop art and baroque, all in the span of a few days. It’s almost like time travelling, the magic of fashion.

If you would have asked me as a girl what I want to become when I grow up I would have said an Egyptologist or a muse. My idea about the life of a muse was rather naive. I imagined it means to look pretty and to be in the presence of artists so they get inspired to create. I thought it’s an incredible and amazing thing if a person possesses the power to inspire somebody to create just with their personality and look. Some kind of ultimate compliment to a woman.

“Yes, she is a muse and she is framed,
so she must be art! “

When I keep thinking about it longer, I realise that my romantic wish kind of came true, since I am blessed with the gift of inspiring people. I wear clothes amazing designers sometimes just make for me without being asked. I got painted a lot of times. Magazine covers bear my face and a lot of people write to me that they changed their style because of me. So, 11-year-old Sara: Yes, you’d be proud of me, look at my wardrobe in awe and say “Yes, she is a muse and she is framed, so she must be art! “

Reminder to myself: Think of this next time you are afraid of not being good enough.
