Lily McMenamy gets our attention in ‘Supersize Me’ by Blommers+Schumm for Dazed & Confused, Fall 2014. Designer, Jeremy Scott, takes a bite out of the American culture by celebrating his new position as designer for Moschino. Exploring our connection to ‘Fast Food,’ this avant-garde artist savors the surreal heights of modernity with this –Junk Food- inspired collection. The ‘Golden Arches’ never looked so chic, as (Stylist) Robbie Spencer shows us that true artistry exists in emblematic fashion. Daring to expose our obsession with all things driven by pop-culture, this brave creator proudly touted a brand he referred to as ‘Fauxmania.’ Lily captures the searing beauty of satire with a captivating combination of smokey eyes and a soft mouth. The art of Americanism comes to play in this eclectic editorial designed to ignite the fire-red passion of free-will. A picture speaks a thousand words as Scott honors the country by restyling symbols such as, McDonald’s & Budweiser, into iconic haute-couture.

SUPERSIZE ME…

the food is fast

the hours are long

I wait for time

to sing me a song,

to rock me hard

and roll me deep

with shades slumber

and sounds of sleep,

so close you eyes

and dare to believe

that beauty can live

inside of your dream,

soft and sweet – hard and loud,

the secret of life

lives strong and proud,

for tomorrow will come

and take me away

to Supersize Me

on another day…
