Jason Alper, a designer more familiar from his work as the costume designer who created the Borat mankini for Sacha Baron-Cohen’s Bruno is turning his satire to luxury brands.
In a new exhibition called “Proletarian Drift and the Enfranchisement of the Bourgoisie” at the Guy Hepner Gallery, in West Hollywood, he turns luxury logos into high art.
Vogue is enthusiastic, saying, “Brilliant use of logos…Alper cleverly but reverently mixes luxury brands and fine art.” but whether Louis Vuitton lawyers are so upbeat has yet to be seen.
