WordPress Fashion Blog Roundup
There has been a lot of fashion synchronicity in my life lately. Themes and images I’ve been thinking about keep popping up in everything I look at. A peep at my WordPress colleagues’ output this morning yielded a boatload of juicy fashion tidbits. For your review:
High-end t-shirt reconstruction, via Circus of the Stars
Disposable culture from a design perspective, via DesignZen

(Sculpture images from the National Museum of African Art at the Smithsonian Institution, here and here.)
OMG, female archetype footwear from Dior, via Choogal’s Blog. Don’t be fooled by your Google search, these are not based on Greek sculpture (which you would know at first glance, if you weren’t sleeping in History of Western Art I). They are inspired by African art, from the mouth of Mr. Galliano himself. You can see the whole "tribal" show here. OK, I totally frigging love this idea, altho the shoes are actually kind of ugly, to my taste. I love when fashion and other visual arts cross in such a blatant way. And if they can incorporate women’s history and mythology, like this lingerie line, I’m just enraptured. Gads, I love fashion.

Sculpture sandals. That's a new one on me. Those just look like a broken ankle. But they are a truly interesting idea. In a shorter heal, I'd definitely wear something like that, but with such high thin heals; it just looks like it would be too hard to keep my balance.
