Lun*na Menoh: A Ring Around The Collar

For 14 years, Los Angelesbased artist, fashion designer and musician Lun*na Menoh has been exploring the many unexpected possibilities of the dirty shirt collar, producing paintings, sculptures, music, DVDs, performance art and fashion shows inspired by this lowly, ubiquitous aspect of clothing. The collar is a fashion boundary--the dividing line between what is hidden by clothing and the body that emerges from the cloth--and the stains commonly found there often confound sartorial panache, a fact which Menoh takes as the mischievous starting point for her work. Lun*na Menoh: A Ring Around the Collar documents the paintings included in this series, as well as Menohs performance art and fashion shows. Included with this book is a flexi-disc with two songs by the artists band, Les Sewing Sisters, and an introduction by acclaimed author Leslie Dick.
