Before news of his hospitalisation for a respiratory infection this week, a fake image of Pope Francis wearing a Balenciaga-style white puffer jacket was posted to Reddit and Twitter. The image – created through AI programme Midjourney – had many viewers fooled into believing that the head of the Catholic church had dramatically updated his style.

As an art historian and an ecclesiastical historian, the image has fascinated me, not least in thinking about the rich history of papal fashion.

First of all, it caught my eye because it looks like shot silk (fabric made of silk woven from two or more colours producing an iridescent appearance). Intentionally or not, it’s a nice nod to the fascia, a sash worn by clerics over their cassocks.

Olisae Taps YouTube Music’s Director of Design, Dee Speed, as the New Creative Director and Designer of His Personal Luxury Brand

April 3, 2023MusicAdvertising, Billboards, Communication, Dee, Marketing, Street furnitureadmin

Olisae has watched his contemporaries fall into what he deems to be a “homogenous look and feel” in the way they present themselves as artists acting as billboards for other brands. “I’m an independent. That allows me to choose my own path. I don’t want to wear the same tired luxury labels like every other hip-hop or r&b artist out there. Why can’t I be my own brand, promote myself, and define luxury in my own way,” asks Olisae. “Dee comes from a place that sees no boundaries in expression. She understands my vision and together we are creating something that is me from start to finish.” Continue reading
