Screen Test #5: Belts ASMR
For the Fifth Installment of the Screen Test Series, Photographer Rebecca Storm Creates an ASMR Video with the Belts of Fall/Winter 2016
For this season, SSENSE has invited photographer Rebecca Storm to create a series of Screen Tests inspired by the ASMR video genre. These recordings of “ASMRtists” performing everyday activities require close listening: Their calming and repetitive sounds are designed to induce the strangely euphoric scalp-tingling sensation of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.In this installment of the series, Storm turns our attention to compression. Here, the clinks and clicks of belts and belted styles from Sacai, Toga Pulla, Fleet Ilya, and Maison Margiela are used to complement one of the most satisfying sounds of all time: popping bubble wrap.

A Ten Image Guide to Fiorucci The Moody, Eternal, and Sexy Legacy of the Milanese Creative Director Elio Fiorucci (1935-2015) was a major figure of a nonexistent movement. Coming out of the transformative years between 1965 and 1970, when High and Low collapsed in a heap of songs, pictures, actions, slogans, collaborations, and ideas, his work could have been described as Pop Fashion in a Postmodern Style. Fiorucci’s visual world was heavily inspired by artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Alex Katz, and designers like Ettore Sottsass.
