Themes: I think a theme I just described on the last post is one of society's revolution. Not as in bad revolution, but changes for the good in a more artistic way. So giving more modesty as apposed to today's sexual society. Also giving more of enlightenment of what we have turned to in our days of modernism, like that of which is in one of my favorite songs, "Zombie" by The Cranberries.
I think one of my main inspirations are the songs of my favorite style icon, song-writer, and singer, SKYLAR GREY (the genius behind love the way you lie) ! She has this sense of style that's so her own and does not rely on what others are doing, for her music or her clothing. She is not defined by any genre whatsoever and really does write music about what's important to her and others. And Recently I even spent Seventy dollars on an in-person signed autograph from eBay. My sister says I'm obsessed, I say I'm inspired!!
Fabrics and Colors: When most people would think of the word original, they might think Jean-Paul Gaultier or Elsa Schiaparelli. But what about original set back tones, like black and whites and simple or draped shapes? That king of originality is what I would like to convey with my the collection. So there's a lot of blacks, whites, cremes, grey/silvers, and other monochromatic toned themes. With fabrics, I'd like to have more of a shiny and textured theme, that can add a little to the simplicity that those kinds of colors. I would choose lame, organza, chiengora (luxury dog hair, [not fur!]), and plisses (acid-dipped, crinkled fabrics) to give a sort of interesting message or emotion (like the shine of lame is like enlightenment to a new fashion revolution or with the crispness of organza like the firm change the revolution could make.) .
So to put it all in a nut-shell, that's my inspiration, a mix of revolution, Skylar Grey, and luxury dog hairs like wool. I will put up some preview sketches soon.(:
Sincerely,
Grant Mower
