The beauty and the beast: The beauty & The Beast #9

La belle et la bête, Jean Cocteau, 1946

The B&B Dictionary

Beasty = no, i don't mean evil, dark, devil or anything like that. And no, i don't belong to any bizarre sect. When i use this word i mean the quality of being or liking "beastyful" stuff.

Beastyful = beast+beautiful. Beauty is boring when there's nothing more than that. In our age beauty isn't enough - that's what we have been doing since Renaissance. In fashion, when something is amazing it usually has a twist, which for me could be described as a touch of ugliness that turn things more complex and exciting.

The beauty & The beast = do you know the tale in which a beautiful young girl falls in love for a monster? Now just look at it in a metaphorical way. That's it, the two faces of every coin. The two faces of fashion.
