Crushing on Konstantin Kakanias

While in Paris this past fall, I had the good fortune to visit a small exhibition of paintings by Greek artist Konstantin Kakanias. One of my favorite contemporary artists, I’ve always admired his humorous depictions of the fashion world (Mrs. Tependris is my spirit animal). I was able to pick up a poster at the Paris exhibit, but I dream of someday owning a Kakanias original (the painting above for T Magazine is a favorite—her turban, her coral spoon, her block print tunic!). Below, explore more of his fabulous paintings.
