Purchased as part of a multi-part mission (with each part requiring a new costume), comic-book escapee, superhero and performance artist Theo-Mass Lexileictous alongside his beautiful sidekick has just purchased Mugler's Nicola Formichetti and Romain Kremer-designed future-techno Les Smokings jacketfrom SHOWstudio Shop. Distributing his currency around the streets of London, Paris and New York in a bid through commercialism and creative expression to restore himself to a 2 dimensional state and return to the comic-book pages he has left blank, may Lexileictous go boldly in a Le Smoking fit for heroism.
THE MUGLER JACKET
Conceived as part of the SHOWstudio Shop exhibition 'Practice to Deceive: Smoke & Mirrors in Fashion, Fine Art and Film', over June and July 2011 a selection of fashion designers were invited to re-interpret an all-time fashion classic: the evening tuxedo, or as the French would say, 'Le Smoking'.
