By Christel TrimbornMore from this author

The unfettered joy of an eccentric mix of styles from historical epochs - with no consideration of rules of combination - forms the foundation for the sweet-kitsch topic. Some aspects draw on the golden pomp of the baroque era, while others source ancient elements or ecclesiastical relicts from the middle ages. Indeed, gothic, sacral chic is mixed with Greek motifs lust as pleasurably as it is disrespectfully. Uniform fashion meets biscuit porcelain, while high gloss furniture encounters gold leaf decoration. The comeback for wasteful pomp is the factor that ties everything together.
