Graphix

 

Lately I've been into these hugely exciting graphics people are either printing onto one piece, or wearing head to toe in a satirical, cartoony fashion. Around my neighborhood of Bed-Stuy, people are rocking high energy outfits like this all the time. It's ah-mazing! Hyper-colorful characters are only appropriate for such a vibrant neighborhood. Inspiration on the way to the grocery store? Sign me up! Anyway, the first three images are by one of my favorite designers Jeremy Scott. This label always produces super fun pieces. Most of the others are from ID Magazine, my usual go-to for fashion and make up inspiration. The final image is from a label I just discovered from V Magazine, Ground Zero. Crazy, spacey looks coming out of this relatively young label! 

Of all of this, the Bart Simpson sweater is my personal favorite. I'm a 90s kid, what can I say?

Happy day after Halloween!! So being a costume designer obviously our national "Everyone Wears a Costume Day" is my favorite day of the year. Bonus points for New Yorkers, who come up with some of the most impressive and creative looks imaginable.

On that note, I jumped at the chance to help my roommate and sister (post coming soon) with their last minute costume panic moments. My roommate had a wonderful patchwork fur poncho given to her grandmother by her great-grandmother, which we turned into our version of a prehistoric cave-woman.

Below are my image refs, starting with beauty and ending with fashion. Made sure to include some of our favorite lovely leading ladies of the feature film domain #JaneFonda #RaquelWelch #BrigitteBardot, along with inspiration from the fashion world of #180magazine. More tagging below. Still waiting for roomie to send pictures of the final look, if we got any good ones. Enjoy!
