what inspires you!

As Oscar De La Renta showed his 2012 spring rtw wear line at this years fashion week in New York, one would say his pieces were.....UNIQUE to say the least. As we all know designers as well as any one in the world look out and seek inspiration for ideas.

In this photo you can get a feel of a historical inspiration from Mr.Oscar. The two photos on the left show Moroccan tiles with historical and traditional Moroccan prints on them. Then with the attention shifting to the photo on the right with Oscar De La Rentas' dress that he displayed in his line the intricate details resemble the ones in the tiles. Can we say his inspiration? I think so.

 

 

In this runway piece there were little images that are little hard to make out until you get a little closer to the garment. They turn out to look like the significant Japanese flowers. These flowers are a cultural symbol in japan. Maybe Oscar has done some traveling recently and spotted his eyes on these beautiful flowers and said to himself they had to be in his design. The details in the dress match the ones in the photo directly under it.

 

 

 

 

Did someone Jingle the bell? No its just the bells that went off in Oscars head when he got inspiration from the classic crystal hand bell. When you think of these bells you think of a wealthy person jingling the bell to get their maids attention. It could be possible that he was getting his maids attention (if he even has them, we'll just pretend like he does so my story can make sense), looked down and said "hmm this shape is magnificent! Its my inspiration for my new dress". Shown in the photo on the right the bottom of the dress takes on the shape of the photo in the left. Even in the dress it appears to have some type material that has a reflection as the lights bounce off of it just like crystal does.

 

Cant you just feel the spring sensation? I know I can. With this top the print and surface decoration just POP literally. It looks like the top piece is a bed of pink flowers that the designer picked out the garden and sewed together. It its beautiful just like the Photo directly under it. Who doesn't love flowers. As you can see Oscar does because he let the flowers inspire him to form the piece in his rtw line for spring 2013.
