It's no secret that my one true love will always be art, that's just the way it's always been and always will be I'm afraid, however Its also common knowledge that I'm also rather interested in fashion (OK OK fashion is technically art, I know). So this morning I was thinking seeing as how I've been wanting to try something new on here, that it would be quite interesting and different to combine the two in a post ... OK OK so I wanted an excuse to waste time on polyvore, you got me! But seriously guys I originally started this blog with the intention that I would use it as a place to share inspiring artists and artworks, that have in some way inspired me and in turn hopefully they would inspire you (after all 99% of artists I obsess over were discovered through me reading blogs ... FACT). However I've noticed that so far that hasn't happened on here ... At least not until today that is!
I first discovered French Artist Rosemarie Auberson's artwork sometime last year, and I can remember instantly falling in love with the way in which she combines collage and printmaking. All of her art work has a certain simplicity about it that evokes a sense of calm and tranquillity.What I find most compelling however about her work (other than her delectable colour palette that is)is the beautiful delicacy that every image she creates captures. She makes just the simple positioning of a black and white image look ridiculously understated yet ridiculously beautiful and enticing. I am however not the only one to adore her work,as she has taken part in quite a few exciting collaborations. For instance she has created media kits for Hermes SS/12 and produced wearable textiles for New York label Rachel Comey.
Thinking about it now, its seems as though deciding to create outfits to represent each piece of work was a rather fitting idea, especially since Rosemarie Auberson has such a strong connection with visual art becoming fashion. For the outfits above I simply tried to interpret each piece of art in a way that still suits my own personal style. Whether or not I did it well, I guess I'm not too sure? ... I'll let you be the judge of that! When I started however, I kept in mind that I wanted to create a "delicate yet simplistic beauty" in each outfit, and I'd like to hopefully think that I achieved that. Of course most of the items I used are way out of my budget, but hey "a girl can dream" right? ...
I honestly loved creating this post and hopefully if your reading this then you perhaps did too!
