Weapon of Beauty

Weapons of mass destruction...Beauty can be deadly
Dior 001 

Say hello to Ted Noten‘s weapon that makes 

all women armed and dangerously beautiful – Dior 001.

The Dior 001 is part of a larger series entitled

7 necessities for a woman to feel like a woman through the eyes of a man.

The piece is an ironic play on vintage spy products, 

whereby a recording device or lock-pick pin were hidden in makeup packages.

Now, the makeup and other modern devices are hidden in the gun.

This dangerous Dior weapon contains eighteen carat gold hardware and 3D printed nylon.

This gun is loaded with a lot of secret sections, typical undercover agent qualities.

 a lip gloss, pill box, antique hairpin, USB stick and 100 gram sterling silver bar. 

The series is intended to celebrate women. 

The title according to artist Ted Noten is mostly sarcastic, 

because men can never really understand women. 

Any woman fully-loaded with a Noten gun surely has a license to kill, not be killed.
