Well, well well. Here I’ve been - just doing my job - reflecting and refracting our historic presidency; and now, it seems, I’m having a bit of a “moment.”
“TIME TO REFLECT: From luminous furniture to ethereal fashion, mirrors are having a moment”
Mirrored objects; WSJ, July 27, 2012
I suppose Disney will take all the credit for it:
Butt I’d like to think that my continuing efforts behind the scenes has made a small contribution to this somewhat reflective craze that appears to be sweeping the country:

“Ms. Kusama's transportive work is just one of many examples of the art, design and fashion worlds' current fascination with reflective surfaces.
“The beauty of the mirrored look? What you see can be entirely up to you.”
“For its home line, Successful Living from Diesel, the label collaborated with Italian furniture maker Moroso to create a giant looking glass printed with an early scientific image of the moon. "Wouldn't it be nice to stare into the great universe beyond your four walls?" mused Renzo Rosso, the founder of Diesel.”
Just remember not to stare into the sun
Or the abyss
"Mirrors can make a room or a piece of clothing feel dreamlike and more expensive, although they're made from very simple and inexpensive materials,"
“said fashion designer Thom Browne, who embroidered a floor-length tulle dress with tiny square mirrors:
Thom Browne’s dress with tiny square mirrors; Lady M’s mirrored butt length medieval tunic.
“Alexander Wang choreographed supermodels like Gisele Bündchen to gaze at themselves through mirrored pillars at his fall 2012 runway show.”
We can do that!
We’ve got a lot of experience with columns!
“Yves Saint Laurent is offering a pump with mirrored heels;”
Yves Saint Laurent Leather Pump ($1,095); MO’s sista’ silver heels (priceless)
“and jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez offers rings and necklaces inspired by Baroque mirrors in Roman palaces. "When you see yourself reflected in those antique mirrors, it transports you to another era," she said.”
Oh it would be good to be king!
Of course Lady M was way ahead of the curve on this shiny, mirrored trend. She’s been dressing in reflective garb ever since she got here:
And check out how MO’s been rockin’ trendoid “reflecting” accessories since day one:
Lanvin Resort Collection 2013; last resort reflecting boob belt and mirrored mini-me
Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci Shiny Pale Gold Plate Earrings; hanging garden mirrored orbs
Dolce & Gabbana Gold Edition Sunglasses, $600; MO’s Tarjay reflectors, too cheap to mention
“It's true that mirrors are, in reality, just glass with a reflective coating, but right now, they feel like so much more.”
It even takes my breath away sometimes! Now if I could just do something about those “toned” guns, I would be magic.
