I was thinking about this at Milansalone this yr… It seemed some designers were more obsessed with their egos than producing good work, whereas last yr I saw some cool stuff

war bowl
War Bowl- was that the Chapman brothers ripoff with the plastic soldiers?
are you talking about jack and dinos chapman as the source of the concept?
it was “designed” by dominic wilcox
Source? I guess thats what I am suggesting if War bowl is what I saw
It was at Milan last year (Thorsten van Elton stand?) and was very obviously influenced by ‘Hell’ (Jake and Dinos); ie melted soldiers.
this is getting of topic; but the chapman brothers are awesome.
This is gonna p**s you off but I got one of their works… I have to cover it when the relatives come over for xmas
