Food Fashion

Food as fashion is the concept behind Korean artist, Sung Yeon Ju's art series titled "Wearable Foods"; a project which she started two years ago creating beautiful works of art made of edible elements. From top, left to right: Red Cabbage, Bubble Gum #3, Lotus Root, Eggplant, Tomatoe #2, Banana, Spring Onion, White Radish, Winter Mushroom (orange), Bubble Gum #2, Winter Mushroom (white), Bread.

Celeb Portraits

There is such an artistic and creative nature behind fashion that naturally, I am also drawn to photography... particularly portraits. I stumbled across Jake Chessum's work recently and found myself intrigued at his celebrity portraits. Not only are the images beautiful, but he captures a wide range of unfiltered emotion that captivates your interest. Although his subjects are actors who are trained to transform themselves into characters/roles and convey raw emotion, I also believe as a photographer he assumes an important role in engaging and connecting with his subjects in order to capture those moments.

Furry Fashionista

William Wegman is an artist notably known for his fanciful photographs of Weimaraners as his muses. Art and dog enthusiasts alike embraced these photogenic canines who also appeared in Sesame Street and SNL segments. The images above are from Wegman's "Fashion Photographs" book which captures these dogs during the 90s in delightful designer duds. My personal favorite is the one in the leopard print bikini (now who can resist that?!) As a tribute to Wegman's artistic acumen, here are photos of my own personal muse "Manolo" sporting Marc Jacobs heels, grey suede belt (as collar) by H&M and silver chain necklace from Wasteland. Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Fashion Illustrations

Fashion illustration has increasingly become widely recognized, especially within the fashion blogging community.  I've always had an appreciation for sketches and drawings in various forms of media, particularly pencil and watercolor.  What's captured my attention are the brilliant renderings that blend traditional mediums as the foundation of the illustration and are later reworked in Photoshop.  The collage showcases some of my recent favorite illustrations; a collection of eclectic, figurative and pop-culture inspired drawings.  View the portfolios of the featured artists Katharine Asher, Paul Holland, Masha Karpushina and Max Gregor at IllustrationWeb.com.
