We love The Ones2Watch blog as a look a new talent and creative ideas. Manifeste du Futurism is an interesting choice of inspiration, one not at all Scandinavian-inspired in spirit or female-friendly, in our opinion.

These Filippo Tommaso Marinetti manifesto reference arrives at an interesting moment in our discussion about BDSM, and its primary power balance, with largely women in submission.

The key planks of the Manifeste du Futurism, serving as inspiration for this editorial are:

Love of danger

Energy and fearlessness

Courage and audacity

Aggressive action

Love of speed

Splendour and generosity (but rejection of classical heritage)

The beauty of struggle

The glory of war

Scorn for women

Destruction of museums and libraries

Acclaimed for the numerous experiments and challenges to convention, the Futurists are derided for their support of Fascism. In many ways the Manifeste du Futurism anticipated the rise of American, culture, based primarily on industry, war and the machine.
