Art and Fashion Collide

It is often said that fashion and art have entirely no correlation . . . I could not disagree more . . .
Life through a fashion designers eyes is art.  It surrounds you everyday.  Everything is art and everything can be inspiration for clothing.
The gift of the designer is seeing what others do not and bringing that idea to life.  
I am inspired by artists as varied as Chuck Close, Gustav Klimt, Jackson Pollack, Herve Leger . . . . 
Their work inspires everything from textile design, to shape in silhouette, to color palettes.
Throughout decades designers have honored the great work of artists in their collections and eventually into our closets.
