SKULL STYLE is a beautifully designed book that presents not only one of the most ancient symbols used in the history of mankind but how it is utilized in the most surprising and modern way today. Formerly an emblem of evil and mortality, the skull has been transformed into an avant?garde design element used in the most cutting-edge art, chic interiors and vanguard style of the moment. This book explores the motif of the skull - once a symbol of mortality - and demonstrates how it has been reinvented in contemporary art and design. Through visual case studies, the author shows how the skull appears in fashion, premium interiors, limited-edition objects and luxury culture, moving from a morbid relic to a symbol of style and trend?setting creativity.
