Haute Garbage

Erin Spinka and Wendy Angel

Ever wonder about Tom Cruise's beauty regimen or what Halle Berry buys her pet cat? Frenchmen Pascal Rostain and Bruno Mouron are happy to unveil the secrets. Since mid- June, the pair have been selling framed masterpieces of celebrity garbage — everything from discarded fan mail to John Travolta's pizza box — for $6,000 a piece.

Rostain and Mouron have said they don't consider their work art but rather a study on consumerism. “This is a real portrait of our society,” Rostain told The Washington Post. The temporary Soho exhibit was scheduled to close in mid-July. Somehow, framing even celebrity garbage doesn't seem that chic.
