from the sublime to the ridiculous: mondo albion

I'm really not sure what I have found here...
 other than a 
TRUE SUPERFREAK.
You know how much I love freaks.
So I found the above image on ebay while 
looking for vintage mobiles.
A mobile, an attractive topless woman,
and a bearded weirdo,
kinda like winning the ebay lottery for me.
So I tried to find more on
Dominico Albion....

I found this image next.
Not bad...
for many, many reasons....
It appearars that 
Dominico Albion
is a fashion designer/artist/shoemaker/perv/freak
from Florence Italy
and is the proprietor of
I mean this was meant to be right?
I'm still diggin' for information on him,
but I figured if I didn't post this right NOW,
I never would.
If anyone knows more about Mr. Albion,
please let me know, I am especially interested in his
mobile hats and fashions.
Oh yeah, and there are a TON of
You Tube videos,
here are a few,
I don't speak Italian so I have NO idea
what is going on, all I know is that I like it....

    i've just bought a pair of his shoes, and was so inspired by the guy, that decided to google him. Hi gave me as a present his book Democrazia Burocrazia and booklet of his photos from 90's.

  6. I bought shoes from him about 10 or 12 years ago. I have a book as well, 10, Domenico Albion, Del Planeta Terra, pub. 1977. It's a shame because I neither speak nor read Italian and have NO idea what any of it means... It looks to be interesting. Still have those gorgeous shoes also.
