Fashion + Art

I love when designers mix fashion with art! Here are some pictures that i've collected over the past couple of months that combine the two together.

Versace. This is an awesome looking body suit type thingy. I would love to wear this, it would defitnately turn some heads! I love the beaded part mixed with the spandex fabric. Its so tacky but you can't help but not look at it! Can ya feeeelll it?!??!!

This picture is beyond sick and I get the feeling of death and despair when I look at it. Ah, I love this picture.

Connie Lims depiction of Alexander McQueen. I read an article on these pictures in Dazed and Confused magazine (http://www.dazeddigital.com/) and I really didn't know if she was making a negative or positive depiction. But either way i think the pictures are still pretty sweet. I think this picture gives a revealing look at Alexander McQueen ads. The models usually seem to be a little naked standing really close to each other, and they all smoke cigarettes right? :P

 I don't know what the whole naked models leaning in on each other supposed to mean to the public, maybe it gives off a feeling of empowerment...or something.

Christian Dior

One of my favorites, Hanna Bernhard! I see a couple of familiar pieces, and the shoes are killer.

Louis Vuitton ads. The colors in these ads go great together don't you think? It looks iconic 1950's. The girls look gorgeous in these photos!

"Why can't people just accept that people are complicated?"

A nice quote from one of my best friends.

Feathery Friends

I think the fashion community is seriously lacking in feather jewelry. I can see little bits and pieces of feather jewelry coming up every now and then when I go out to shop. But i never see anything that I would wear. The things I'm seeing aren't extravagant enough! They're too boring, and too small!

So I decided to draw my own designs for feather jewelry and look around for some other feathery things that catch my eye.

I really enjoy feather jewelry. It reminds me of when I was younger my neighbor, me, and her mother used to go to antique stores that were all outside shops and they were run by real Indians. Each outside store had tons of feathery jewelry and other things that the Indians made.

We also would go antique shopping downtown www.cherokeeantiquerow.net/ and shop there too. I hope I get to do this again sometime! I'd love to go down there and take pictures and find neat little things.
