Photo of the day

Fashion is a passion for Belgian fashion designer Kristof Buntinx. ‘Passion’ in all senses of the word: it is his lust and his life, but also his suffering and his cross. Here he has designed a leather rucksack in the shape of a cross, with inside all his attributes and materials for the production of his oeuvre: boxes of head pins, needles, tape measure, pattern paper, drawing moulds, fabric scissors, reels of thread, tailors’ chalks, pencils, etc.
Kristof has to endure envy and jealousy in the fashion and art world and there is the economic crisis faced by all, but he wants to pass on a positive message of hope: after suffering comes resurrection.
The artistic photo was taken by Belgian professional photographer Geert De Wolf, Christ is portrayed by model Steve Ross, originally a top Canadian basketball player and Personal Fitness Trainer in Brussels, and the unique backpack was expertly crafted by Belgo-Italian leather worker Luigi Braile.

Happy Easter!
