Posted: 1/6/10 at 10:49pmJane, you have no idea! Sometimes when I'm shopping with the kids, we don't even realize there's a skull or two in the design until we "study" it. And skulls are everywhere...they're like Louis Vuitton!

Posted: 1/7/10 at 12:25amHas anyone else thought that the McQueen skull clutch posted earlier in the thread doubles nicely as a legal substitute for brass knuckles?

I know I did. Oh if only they had the proper advertising team and spokesperson:

The diamond industry can take a lesson from British artist Damien Hirst. His latest work is a platinum cast of an 18th century man’s skull, encrusted with 8,601 flawless diamonds weighing a total of 1,200 carats. The skull titled ‘For the Love of God’ is part of a larger exhibit of his work which opened in London this month. The 18cm-tall piece has a tag of $98 million and has been dubbed the most expensive work by a living artist

Posted: 1/7/10 at 2:10amDiva, I think that Hirst skull is amusing and entertaining in a silly, happy sort of way, don't you? It's very humorous! (And the teeth are straighter than mine!)

Posted: 1/7/10 at 2:25amI was very puzzled by Diva's "latest work" of Hirst's since I saw it almost three years ago at Cheim and Reade - then saw your article is just as old. Stunning piece, in photographs and upclose.

^Ha!
It may not be what caused the "explosion," but I first started really noticing the skulls when Ralph Lauren started doing them, 3 or 4 years ago. He did them, at first, in a very preppy sort of way, in repp ties. I kind of thought at the time it was a sort of Yale Skull and Bones Club allusion.
It was after that I started seeing them everywhere in mainstream fashion (though as people have pointed out, they've been around in a more underground way for years).

Posted: 1/7/10 at 11:48amthe least that skull could do is have its teeth fixed if it's going to wear those diamonds.

Posted: 1/8/10 at 12:59amWith bows to boot! Almost too cute. Wish you'd had a chance to see that Hirst in person, Diva. It was beautifully lit and simply stunning.
