Holy Organic

Michael Kukla!

Michael Kukla's cellulare like sculptures are inspirational to any repurposed designer. Using natural materials such as woods and stone to create an organic surface. His patterns are simple to the eye, yet intricate to the designer.

Block Prints

We've been keeping track of the latest Fall 2011 shows, and we were especially captivated by Preen's colorful and refined prints. Inspired by The Northern Californian arts and crafts movement, their playful use of different prints and scales appears whimsical yet fashion forward.

Haunt

Meric Canatan

We love these collages! Meric Canatan does such a good job compositing the images that we cannot tell if this was done in pre or post production. They are made with such delicate materials, but the models' expressions are so haunting, especially with the black hollow space that surrounds each of the figures.

Men in Pattern

Walter Van Beirendonck!

Working on a men's Autumn/Winter line for my fashion class, I have been living and breathing menswear. I came across Walter Van Beirendonck's fashion line, which I felt was very pattern inspired. His crazy hair does and wacky pattern mixes add a sense of spunk to this years menswear collections.
