This week, the fantastic color chart of Angela Merkel's suits has hit the internet. While she may not have much variety in style, it's an impressive array of colors! Besides...she's a little busy with other things to be spending much time on fashion...so I applaud her for likely having just bought the same suit in myriad colors.
The neatly arranged color chart that's been best described as the "Pantone Merkel" actually is part of a larger project by Dutch graphic designer Noortje van Eekelen. Her graduation project, "The Spectacle of the Tragedy," contains this and other collected images of key players in the Euro crisis.
As described on her website, "The Spectacle of the Tragedy tells a visual story about the politicians that navigate the Euro crisis," It shows us what is happening behind their political smiles and gives us an insight into their irresponsible behavior. " It's a "Visual database of the European Show and its Leading Actors."
In addition, you can also find the "Extraordinary Romance" of Merkel and Sarkozy, the "Girls of Berlusconi" (unsuprisingly, NSFW outside of Europe), and my second favorite..."The Carla Bruni Handbag Collection".
Enjoy!
