Fashion needs inspirations. Where do I get mine? From art. The sweet Paris rush hour buzz. The sugary smells of the city. Images on the Net. Other fashion blogs. Matisse is one of my favorite painters. I am fascinated by the human body. I am a dancer. Loving and hating my frame, all the same. Mostly loving though. Even learning to be yet kinder.
Above is Matisse’s piece La Danse de Paris which sweetly resides in the Paris Museum of Modern Art. The mural royally fills up the entire hall. I love popping in and being consumed by the bewitching vibes.
Above is what I concocted in my art group as of the first piece this year. My teacher asked us to draw spark from Matisse’s end of the career cut-out techniques. I slid into dancing figures, once and again. Do notice the appearance of shoes. My fashion blogging is having an affect on my artsy bounces…
Some more of my body studies…
And then, jumping out of joy in the Paris business quarter La Défense. Paris has me dance… create… imbibe in fashion. This city has changed me so much.
Now here is the challenge – I would like you to be inspired by Matisse, and why not Paris alike, and post upon these candied, inviting influences. An outfit, a picture, a drawing, a text… in line with your style of blogging. Then come on over and tell me. I might very well have some yummy dark chocolate to send in compensation! I can’t wait to see your creativity jump high, dear cupcakes!
