The Future Mirror

Hey gorgeous!

I hope this finds you well!

I often walk through town and just love to watch how other people dress – especially elder ones! And I find amazing inspiration in it when they style  themselves in a unique or unusual personal way.

This is really a fun game to play!

I often take those women as a rolemodel and start thinking of how I will dress like and wrap myself up in maybe 20 or 30 years!

It´s like looking into a future mirror!

Would I wear a quirky dress like e.g. that 80 year old woman? Would I go for white hair or dye it purple? Will I still dare to wear a neoncoloured dress?  And will still I run around in golden shoes ?

Will figure still matter?

To share some inspiration I would love to introduce to you the stimulating blog by Ari Seth Cohen.

Ari Seth Cohen

It´s called Advanced Style . Ari lives in New York and this is his mission:

I roam the streets of New York looking for the most stylish and creative older folks. Respect your elders and let these ladies and gents teach you a thing or two about living life to the fullest. Advanced Style offers proof from the wise and silver-haired set that personal style advances with age.

Ari Seth Cohen has also done an awesome documentary about some of those wonderful women and you can find easily on you tube a trailer, which is worthwhile seeing!

What will your style be like in the future – will you still consider what other people might think of you?

I can tell you that much – you won´t bother anymore after seeing this documentary ;)

Have fun!

xoxo

Fashionable Landscapes

Yes – I totally LOVE fashion! And recently I fell in love with this beautiful top by Designer J.W. Anderson:

John-allen-london.

The landscape motif is so captivating, I did a little research and found out, the artwork was made by textileartist John Allen (81)! I was stunned by his website: The way he plays with colours is so inspiring to me! I at once made contact and will do a designclass with him this August. I am so much looking forward to it! Have a look yourself!

Now as Jonathan Anderson is also designing for the spanish luxurious Label LOEWE, he did a stunning upcoming spring – collection, again using the exciting patterns of John Allen.

The pieces hit the stores in May 2015 – aren´t they are beautiful?

In the last picture down below you see the two Designers: Anderson and Allen.

Art to Smile

One of my favourite artists is Martin Creed from the UK. I was attracted by his work in the London restaurant Sketch. ( I did a blog post about that place earlier.)

Martin Creed and his work at Sketch, London

Creed is internationally acclaimed for working across a multitude of disciplines including installation, sculpture, music, dance and film. And he got famous when he won the turner price 2001. What I like so much about him is his playful approach towards art. For him ART is just a word – and by the way: he numbers his work consecutively. So each work has the same importance, wether he arranges artistically some balls lying around – or glues a sticky something to the wall. And there is always fun and humor in his work.

Another eccentric work of Creed has been the runners at the Tate Gallery. Every 30 seconds some runners were sprinting through the rooms as if their life depended on it. As Creed said, he wanted to show an example of being alive as the opposite of death, being perfectly still. But first of all he wanted to create something funny, what made him smile.

This perfectly corresponds to my way of experiencing and looking at art. Do you like this kind of art making you smile?

I´d love to hear from you in the comments!
