Mermaid Motel

This past spring break I took the most AMAZING vacation to Destin. It has literally taken an affect on how I look at the world just by sitting by a beach all day. It was so peaceful! The rhythm of the waves hitting the shore, the feeling of the cold sand on your toes and the cold water around your legs, It literally felt like heaven on the Emerald Coast. Mt entire family came and we stayed in a nice little private community cottage. There was a slew of great places to shop, eat, and just have fun! It is now my second favorite city besides my home Dallas.

Anyway, back onto the matter of fashion. Because of Destin, I have pretty much rediscovered the beauty of colors. Blue, Green, Red, Yellow have all seemed to come back into my palette of colors to design with. A lot of the time I was there I was seeking inspiration through the waves, mermaids, cephalopods, and Lana del rey music here is all of it in a nutshell.

So I made some sketches, and I realized the colors reminded me of the master Jean Paul Gaultier. Then I remembered recently I went to The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From Sidewalk to Catwalk, and I absolutely adored it! The first room has more of the nautical sense I'd like to display here:

So I guess I can say this past spring break was the most amazing one of my life. By the way, my only issues with these designs again are that they are very immodest, not to dis the master, because I love Jean Paul! I love all the extravagant details too! So I will have some of my very own ocean inspired sketches to show soon too! Let me know your thoughts on what you would like to see in my designs.

Sincerely,
Grant Mower

P.S. I will have the sketches for this post and the ones for the rest of my collections soon.(:
