Nothing signifies the start of summer more than an exposed screen.  While spring has come and gone (or so it seems), screen-inspired imagery continues to pop up throughout the marketplace, revealing that moods often relax when temperatures rise. “Screens are good for your spirit, they allow you to smell summer while sitting inside your apartment,” says Michelle Lawson, a Greenpoint artist and resident.  From the textured cover art of Anthropologie’s March catalog to this sheer needle point skirt we spotted at Mojo last week, both applications signify human interaction with this stiff window barrier.  Moving past literal translations, this Chanel suit, which was photographed for Bergdorf Goodman’s summer catalog, glorifies the concept of the grid, proving that trends can inspire and transcend all price points.

Matthew Tischler reveals the softer side of this fashion trend with his photography collection entitled, Screen Series.  Blurring reality with both wet and dry screens, his images are divided, pixelated, and filtered.  Subjects and figures are broken apart and reconstructed in such a way that they are both integrated into their environment and isolated within it.
