Donatella Versace


Donatella Versace is pop culture so why not create a dress that says pop culture and use a classic cut for the dress too. This was a wonderful idea. Even though Donatella Versace isnt persay a designer but she knows what will work and what will make a statement. Gotta giver her props for that. She clearly loves her brother to keep his legacy going on, which is a big deal since she isn't really into that side of fashion. I do love this dress by all means, totally didn't get my art project from this at all. I didn't know this existed until a few days ago. ( i found it on my phone and tried to post it but my phone app was being non-responsive.) the dress says that there is so much gossip and infatuation with celebs that there are enough articles and photos to make clothes out of and people will like since they love lving through celebs.

Hussein Chalayan

wow. never head of this guy other than his falling out with kate moss but his stuff is amazing. he mixes modern art in his fashions. i just wonder how he keeps the lights from burning through the fabric and how he keeps the lights on for so long. im really impressed with his stuff and will keep looking out for his work. i wonder if he will ever mix earth art with his fashions.

Vivienne Westwood

Genius. i only know a little bit about Vivienne Westwood and read a few things. her stuff does seem a little out of this world but then again it what makes her stand out from everyone else. I bet if it wasn't for Vivienne Westwood there wouldn't be a Betsy Johnson. I like this piece because there are many decades in this outfit. I spot the 50s, 60s, 70s,  and 80s. Also i love for the Lion king with the make up. Most of this could be worn out and about by non Hollywood people with the colors and easy clothes to find to best copy it for people who can't afford it. i will defiantly keep an eye on  Vivienne Westwood from now. Its always good to know more designers and have more inspiration.

Andy Goldsworthy

Yes I used this photo on my dress but i loved it so much. i love that its daisies in a shape of sun sort of. this just reminds me of summer and spring two of my favorite seasons that have baseball and no school. i love that it looks like a sun because if one thinks about it, it does look like the sun since it has rays that go all over and some long than others. its also peaceful and makes me smile. I smile because i think of my childhood playing in fields of sunflowers and make crowns out of them.

Yoko Ono

hmmm yoko ono. i've never really seen her performances but i love what she stands for. PEACE. she is carrying on John Lennon's hope for the world. Its wonderful. yes many people may find her to be the reason why the Beatles broke up but i believe she has worked hard to prove people wrong. What i have heard of yoko onos songs i really can't say im a fan. Its like Heavy metal for me, can't understand a word. :/. the one thing that i love that yoko did is the peace light that can be seen from space.

Ana Mendieta

Vanessa Beecroft

I love this photo! Not just because I love barbie( don't judge me lol). Also the reason i love this photo is i bet Beecroft was thinking about the cookie cutter girls. They all look the same down to make up and hair styles. I also feel that Beecroft has thing for stewardesses because this looks more like flight attendants than an army. totally reminds of cookie cutters, just look at high schools now days. one girl will sent the look and trends and every one else will. 
I always hated those girls because they thought they were so cool and awesome and the world was there but now they realizing what the real world is and hate it and being treated like crap. sorry for the rant but that's how i feel and think when i look at this picture. Also makes me wanna watch toy story.
