Welcome to the social design: loose lessons from the stylized representation of the social in cinema and print. A blog very often about the interior design, fashion, social manners, and music created for and reflected in vintage cinema and print. Especially from the Sixties and Seventies, especially Italian, and especially from swingin' party scenes. We're awfully big on disco hippies and the OpArt accent here. Guaranteed, of course, to wander off on the occasional tangent into (maybe?) related subject matter, with plenty of tongue-in-cheek commentary for your consideration along the way. Comments are welcome, so please consider yourself invited...

THE OP-ART CHIC OF "AMUCK" (1972)







#1:  USE GRAPHIC OP-ART PRINTS TO ENLIVEN AND CONTEMPORIZE AN INTERIOR, EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO WEAR THEM YOURSELF...

From the 1972 Italian giallo film "Amuck", Rosalba Neri looks very chic for dinner in her eye-popping black and white.  It's a great contrast to her traditional Venetian background setting, and the effect says uniquivocally, "Hey there. Look at me."  Uniformed domestic staff always heighten the chic, so apply to taste...

#2:  ACCESSORIZE WITH A WHITE-GLOVED MANSERVANT WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
