Rude Strategies
Followthegloss.online is a virtual tour, focusing on digital beauty trends and their physical manifestations.
Gloss connects virtual and material worlds. Rocks polished into diamonds, screens, 3D renders, light bouncing off a surface, sun, shining into a puddle. Gloss lays between our naked eye and what we see. Our faces reflect in screens streaming social media

About Rude Strategies

Rude Strategies (Karina Zavidova, Simona Koutná) is a design duo, interested in the subjects of beauty, gender and the connection between the virtual and real worlds. Seeing themselves as a hybrid between design studio and a touring band, they develop their portable design office. Inspired by virtual influencers blending into real places and events, they focus on how virtually distributed trends are present on various locations.
