FASHION!

Fashion....not one of my strong points but a great subject.  I am no fashionista...especially as I sit here and write this post in a t-shirt and shorts.  But like most girls...I have big dreams of a wardrobe that is fabulous.  I would love to wear a cute retro dress everyday with my hair all done perfectly.  But the problem is...where would I go all dressed up?  And I do not think those stunning dresses would look great covered with food or snot or whatever my son decides to throw all over me that day.  There is also the point of money...who can really afford a wardrobe like that unless you are a designer yourself.  I have made a few of my own clothes but clothes are just not my medium when it comes to creativity.  Which that brings me to my point today....art and fashion.

Obviously this is an art blog...so you were probably wondering why I was talking about fashion but see how I brought the whole thing back around?  Clever huh?  This week I was cruising through the internet looking for a topic to cover for my blog and saw how fashion designers took famous artwork and had it inspire their designs.  How fun would that be to break down a painting into something new.  Almost like the food art we talked about in the past.  Here are some images of the clothes with the artwork that inspired them:

Shiatzy Chen + Irises in Monet's Garden by Claude Monet

Alexander McQueen + Red Roses, Close-Up by Jonathan Knowles

Allude + Autumn Rhythm by Jackson Pollock 

Now, I am pretty clueless when it comes to names in fashion but I think these people who re-created the paintings are big.  I'm sure someone somewhere is thinking I am ridiculous for saying that but this is just not my area of expertise.  Either way, I thought you would enjoy learning something new and interesting.  I hope you enjoy!  Here is the link to view the rest of the images:
