16 CALENDAR serves as both function and inspiration. The case is a CinemaScope panoramic panel made of Plexiglas, the arched design of a television screen enabling it to stand upright. We assigned fifty-two weeks to fifty-two different artists. Of course, all the main holidays went first: a François Berthoud New Year’s Eve, an Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin Valentine’s Day, a Ruben Toledo Easter, a Marc Jacobs Fourth of July, a Mats Gustafson Thanksgiving, and an Ellen von Unwerth Christmas. The backside of each page features a Bibliography of Fashion by Richard Martin, then curator of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
