My new fav artist...Cedric Rivrain, takes a new twist on fashion illustrating. He uses real models as his muse, (including famed Kate Moss) AND he takes pieces straight from the runway to get inspired by. The best part? He then incorporates a beautiful new element to it, by adding dramatic face wear and distorting the clothing and accessories. He is definitely noteworthy. Get Inspired...

Vintage! Vintage! Vintage!

I cannot get enough...and apparently the rest of the world can't either. I just stumbled upon something crazy cool!

Boxing Kitten

Inspired by Josephine Baker and her mommy, New Jersey native Maya Lake produces "classic fashion for revolutionary minds with the past, present, and future..."

"....each garment is carefully produced in bold and fearless print combinations, and then fused with charmingly flawless and demure patterns...."

Also adding that Boxing Kitten "celebrates the spirit and lives of women who have come before".

Beautiful. Black Girls Rule!

Chanel
Couture Collection Fall 2009

Seems Karl Lagerfeld was inspired by the dark and the light. The contrast is beautiful.

Tailor-Made

H&M has released the pictures for their Fall 2009 collection. They are focusing on tailored, classic looks, soft colors, refined cuts and details, innovative shapes and proportions, and new blends.

"The result is an inspiring collection with endless possibilities for personal expression and style."

H&M's Head of Design Ann-Sofie Johansson says:
"Tailoring is back on the fashion scene. Classic staples are the obvious choice, but updated and re-modelled".

From the website:
-Tailoring is dramatic and elaborate with new shapes and contrasting proportions for women. -For men it's all about sleek tailoring with a rock' n roll attitude. Styling makes the difference, adding bold accessories to staple pieces.

Ooo La La. Stay tuned for more exclusive pics from other H&M Departments.

Celine
Kiraro Graffiti Print Cut-Out Sandal

About $1250

Mind over matter ladies. If you can afford this, can you wear this? The shoe is crazier than any Marc Jacobs creation, higher than any Manolo, and more exclusive than any Christian Louboutin.

The sandal has a cut-out section within the platform and a unheard of open section in the center of the sole and sharp angular heel. Standing 6 inches high....you may end up taller than Shaquille O'Neal. Made of 100% graffitti print leather, inspired by African Tribal drawings. With a clear nod to 80s hip-hop.

I love art. And I'm sad that fashion illustration is slowly dying. I just wanted to share a new favorite. Sabine Pieper.

I also have her art as my Blog Header. I will put a new artist every few weeks or so...because if we don't support the arts, who will.
