Day 23: Favorite Gossip Girl Cast Magazine Spread/Campaign:

Gossip Girl invaded pop culture when it debuted in the fall of 2007, inspiring collections at New York Fashion Week, causing uproar over their advertising, making unknown bands mainstream, all along with the fascination of their cast members.  Everyone’s favorite blonde and brunette saw some action with a double cover issue of Nylon.  Not to be outdone by everyone’s obsession for Chuck and Blair.  They did a cover and photoshoot for ELLE Korea – sexy-vamp style. Then Ed and Leighton also did a campaign for a Korean clothing line Ask Enquired in 2009. The shots from it are amazing and beautiful and so Gossip Girl themed – they were the perfect pair to do the campaign.

“I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.”

– Vincent Van Gogh. Artwork by Ian Anastas.

This piece is not meant to romanticize suicide or trivialize mental illness. In the artist’s own words “Van Gogh, and really anyone who struggles with mental illness, thrive and create in spite of their illness and not as a result of it. I admire Van Gogh for this reason. He strove forward to realize his vision while his very thoughts and perceptions betrayed him. This would take unimaginable courage. I am not trying to romanticize his illness in this image. I am trying to show my admiration for him as a person. Mental illness is a very real thing and I believe it should be openly discussed. I also believe we should make art about it. Those who suffer and struggle with it, and strive forward for the sake of themselves, their families, their passions, those individuals I will gladly romanticize as heroes.”
