So this is a post I've been wanting to do for a while. People occassionally say fashion is art. I'm not sure how much I believe that but I do know I've gotten alot of sartorial inspiration from the art world. Colours, layers, moods all of it goes some way into training your eye. Sometimes the thing that will strike you the most is the juxtaposition of two shades you never thought would complement each other so well, or the fold in a dress, an elegance in posture...
The Clown Cha-U-Kao by Toulouse Lautrec.
Primavera by Botticelli. This one really needs to be bigger. You can click on it for a larger one but really go google the details, look at the hair, the folds of silk and most importantly the colours (of the landscape as well as their robes).
Blue mountains by Vasily Kandinsky.
Woman with a Black Boa also by Lautrec.
Empress Elisabeth of Austria by Franz Xaver Winterhalter
St Jerome in Meditation by Caravaggio...That deep, deep red.
The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai. The blue sea and the white foam.
