thanks to Topshop and punk rock, we now have an overflow of skull motifs in our local fashion scene (and i'm a victim of it too). from paul frank to I.D.Zone, there are more skulls than the dead buried in Chua Chu Kang. everything wild, bad, naughty, rebellious and non-mainstream is represented by the skull (and crossbones/scimitars). but this interpretation of the bones is really pushing at the seams of fashion. a relatively well-dressed man in striped shirt and pants, carrying a bag in the shape of a full-body skeleton... in public transport some more. and before i could even say 'humerus', he left my camera and the picture in a blur.

this just reinforces the fact that some skeletons really, should remain in the closet.
