It’s officially spring. The birds are chirping. Pimps and players are flirting. And the girls? Well depending on who you ask, they run the world. It wouldn’t be spring without a tribute to the girls, girls, girls.
Art Nouveau’s Spring issue, entitled Girls, Girls, Girls is a tribute to the art of vintage pin-ups. You can see traces of the influence in just about every contemporary art form, in music they are barbies and Katy Perrys, in film there is always a new hot ‘it girl,’ in art, well you’ve seen pin-up tattoos on everyone from soccer moms to the typical biker guy.
For this issue, we’ve compiled pieces, artists and editorials that both evoke the art of the pin-up and push the art direction of the vintage style into new heights. On the cover Greg Gossel, probably at the forefront of the surge in pin-up art talks about his upcoming show in San Francisco and more. Elsewhere, Lady Aiko, Marcelo Daldoce, J*DaVeY, Oscar Olima, Adrienne Raquel, Alice Vandy and more provide the visual and sonic soundtrack that is sure to keep you stimulated–no pun intended.

I think it is rather interesting to have an Aiko (once a member of Faile) feature in a magazine that has Greg Gossel… Who has been accused of strait biting on the faile tip. http://www.theworldsbestever.com/2008/01/what_looks_like_faile.php
