Those Old Flirty Times — Pin-Up Rehabilitated

Millenáris Velodrom, Budapest

In my own words

Pin-up usually gets treated as nostalgia, or worse, as a costume you rent for an afternoon. I never saw it that way. For me it was always attitude — that playful, knowing confidence a woman has when she is entirely in on the joke.

So we built the whole thing around that: the wink, not the wardrobe. The Velodrom was a wonderfully strange place for it, all industrial curves and echo. And the women left standing a little taller than when they arrived. That, honestly, is the only review I ever cared about.
