Art about extravagance or wasteful hoax?
Photographer Tyler Shields’ newest work involves the documentation of his girlfriend and Clint eastwood’s daughter, francesca eastwood destroying a red crocodile Hermes Birkin bag…with a chainsaw and lighter fluid.
If you dont know about Hermes, Birkin bags are probably the most exclusive product ever, demanding a waiting list and prices up to $100,000!
While the debate on whether or not the bag was real continues, so does the buzz.
The initial reaction from many was anger, and disgust and even a few death threats!
Not only are the photos attractive and sexy, dangerous and already going viral, the concept behind the work makes us chuckle in a good way.
if the bag is not real the merit of the photos is EVEN GREATER for causing such a stir and inducing death threats over a ploy. well done tyler sheilds
other work by tyler includes destroying a famed pair of red soled louboutin stilettos and some adorable emma roberts vs barbie doll photos, deborah ann woll, evan peters and more @ TYLER SHIELDS.com
what do you all think? art or waste?
