I’ve always been a real swot, studying for years latin and greek, and now I’m a fashion and contemporary art student.
I have an insane passion for kitsch and cabinets of curiosities.
I love useless and whimsical things like antiques and old things, bric à brac, oddities, jewelry especially rings, taxidermy, anatomy, masks, shells, rocks, butterflies, feathers, ephemeral things and engravings.
I’m addicted to decadentism and symbolism novels and Baroque and Rococò art.
On my blog larocaille.altervista.org I talk about fashion and art trying to avoid banality in order to show the inseparable connection between fashion and art through my personal taste.
