Comme des Garçons

Well today I was outside looking up at the clouds admiring how puffy they are; and for some reason Commes de Garcons Fall 2010 fashion show came racing into my head. I remember looking at these images a few months back thinking; how cool they would be as a wedding dress. Of course not for the traditional bride; but I could see some ladies with the right edge rocking these out. The tayloring and the cut is amazing. And WOW would I have fun putting together some flowers bouquets for these dresses. White peonies would be the way to go; but how fab would it be to be able to use cotton flower. It looks like I need to go hang out in front of the Art Institute to see if anyone is interested in getting married any time soon :)

Surfboards & Bridal Ribbon?

I'm loving these shoes from Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2010 Collection. The designers were inspired by surfbaords when the were making this collection. The shoes inspire me to look at bridal ribbon in a more high contrast way; and design the handle of the bouquet with much more texture.

Inspiration For The Month of April

Every month I have a focus and get inspired by something specific. Usually from the fashion industry. But this month; I really want to pay homage to the passing of one of my favorite artist/designers: Alexander McQueen. He was truly one of the most innovative avant garde designer to date. I always loved his sense of darkness that yet, still played to the somewhat romantic side. His passing was a HUGE loss for the fashion industry and the art world. Above are some of my favs from his last collection.
