iris van herpen is truly god

iris van herpen's latest collection 'escapism'

"In all my work I try to make clear that fashion is an artistic expression, showing and wearing art, and not just a functional and devoid of content or commercial tool. With my work I intend to show that fashion can certainly have an added value to the world,  that it is timeless and that its consumption can be less important then its beginning. Wearing clothing can create a very exciting and imperative form of self-expression. 'Form follows function'  is not a slogan with which I concur. On the contrary, I find that forms complement and change the body and thus the emotion. Movement, so essential to and in the body, is just as important in my work. By bringing form, structure and  materials together in a new manner, I try to suggest and realize optimal tension and movement.” - Iris Van Herpen

still life

this week i have ventured back to uni and have been given a brief on still life photography for my styling classes, through some research i have come across some ah-mazing images which have truly changed my mind about still life photography and how these images don't have to be just fashion based but can include the most pointless objects yet still obtain such beauty. also check out this clever prop stylist sasa antic http://www.sasaantic.com/
