Has just opened its gates
at May 9th and will go on till May 31st.
The Topic of the Fair is
“When Fashion Meets Art!”
The Designers who have
signed up to participate in the Fair were challenged to create
exclusive pieces that are inspired by their favorite artists. It
didn't really matter if the artists work was falling into the
following categories : Sculptures, Installations, Design, Drawing,
Painting, Conceptual Art.
It also was not of
importance which Art Style we choose as inspiration, like :
Renaissance, Cubist, Post Modern, Pop Art, Impressionism … and the
list goes on and on.
So Sky was challenged to
find an artist, who she likes which was not easy and in the end we
really picked no artist, because you get your inspiration from many
places, many different people and in the end it is a mix of
everything that has inspired you before and the things that may
inspire you at the moment. Art is something that is in constantly
change, the same goes for our inspiration. It changes with everything
we see, everything we experience, which leads us to the issue that
Sky was facing. She couldn't name 1 artist or even decide at 1 to be
her inspiration, instead of that … she did it her way.
Sky took what she liked
the most… patterns … colors … and used that as her inspiration.
The result of that influences can be seen at the Fashion Art Fair and
I just want to give you all a small glimpse of what awaits you there.
Movin' Up:
This is the first
exclusive piece that Sky was working on. As I wrote before, patterns
are very important for Sky and you can quite well see how the
influences of patterns has fused with the overall design of that
outfit. Speaking of patterns, one of the reasons why we are able to
have so many colorful prints and patterns on our clothes it because
of specific revolution that took place around 1900 … the industrial
revolution. It was the first time that patterns could be produced at
a cheap price and in a very productive way … something which artist
used as well to print their art, or even have the printed image as
pattern be the artwork itself.
Tapestry Garden:
A quite similar type
of design compared to Movin' Up, but at the same time unique enough
to stand out on its own. The organic floral pattern stands in big
difference to the very geometrical pattern from the first attire. It
gives the basic design a complete different feel to it, the flowers
make you feel as if you are in a garden and it is freshing up the
complete design.
Live Your Dreams
Live Your Dreams, on
the other side is not so much about the past, it is rather a much
more personal idea behind it. It is about the fact that we all have
dreams and just take Sky for example, the owner and main designer of
the store. She loves to create, she loves patterns, she loves colors
and uses all that to create art for you. Because at some point, the
blank texture of fabric is for a designer, like what a canvas is for
a painter. A place to let their dreams, imaginations become a
reality.
Also it is not about
us, it is about YOU, the customer … You are the reason why we are
doing this. Its one of our dreams to make you all happy with the
clothing that is created by Sky.
And now a little bit
of little me, to show off some color variations from the Exclusive
Outfits you can get at the Fashion Art Fair.
