Lee's lovely lips were an emblem of her power. Tall, untamed and mouthy, the Amazonian American loved to speak her mind and was known for her loud, raucous laugh. Immortalized by her lovers, her lips also became a symbol of sensuality. In his painting 'The Lovers' for example, Man Ray blew them up and let them take over the sky. But as Lee aged, she would increasingly devote herself to her sense of taste. She had no desire to become a professional chef, yet her elaborate dinners featuring Surrealist surprises such as blue spaghetti, relish-stuffed lychees and chicken covered in gold leaf were legendary. To quote Lee's biographer Carolyn Burke: the alchemy of the kitchen fired her imagination.
It also triggered her delicious deviousness. After a snooty British food critic dissed the American obsession with marshmallows and Coca-Cola, Lee made him a 'bombe surprise' for dessert which he devoured. I love to imagine Lee's triumphant expression as she told him afterwards it was marshmallow-Cola ice cream! Lee once described cooking as 'pure therapy'. When her mother died, she channeled her grief into making a huge batch of red-pepper marmalade. And then there were Lee's traumas; from her childhood rape to the horrors she saw during the war. Too unspeakable to pass her beautiful lips, maybe these tragedies found their outlet in Lee's spicy stews and fragrant soups. I like to think so.
This Space Odyssey collection is made from a dark brown shimmering jacquard fabric. The fabric has a black elasthane thread, instead of the usual white or transparent elasthane, which gives the material a beautiful deep, warm color. Gold lurex is woven through the fabric to make your curves sparkle, and a softener finish is added to ensure a soft feel on your body. Let's also not forget the straps with different widths and lengths and lots of fixation points. The straps need to be in perfect symmetry, which means extra accuracy is required in construction. The cherry on top of this collection is the little bow and gold-colored pendant, inspired by Lee Miller's iconic lips- an emblem of her power!
