Musings of a Down and Out Artist

Ricardo Oyarzun and the Virgin Mary

Ricardo Oyarzun is a Chilean clothes designer, or fashion designer as its fashionable to say. He seems to have found a few minutes fame by upsetting the religious freaks in his home country. As far as I know there are no surviving photos of the Virgin Mary, and even tho she was very forthcoming about her sex life, or lack of it, as far as I know she didn’t discuss her wardrobe. So Im guessing the masses idea of the Virgins clothes comes from the Renaissance painters. I quite like the clothes anyway, they have a Pre-Raphaelite look to them to me.

So weather his fame lasts will be interesting to see, not only did he go for the religious angle but hes also upset the conservatives by using models with large breasts. Two birds with one stone so to speak.
