Creatures of Comfort Fall 2013 RTW












I really like this collection by Creatures of Comfort. The collection was said to be inspired by the late Louise Bourgeois. The cage-like grid patterns on boxy coats and shifts, was to give a sense of entrapment. I like the shapes in the collection, there is a nice variety of textures and layering. I personally gravitate towards these types of silhouettes, i like the simplicity of it all. The oversized knit cap is so cute! - it reminded me of Bourgeois in this photo!

Nathalie du Pasquier














 I love the idea of these square shaped storage shelves, and thoughtfully arranged bookshelves, it reminds me of  Nathalie du Pasquier's paintings and other works. She is one of my favorite artists. Her work is abstract yet so playful and familiar. The colors are beautiful. I love the focus on strong geometric shapes, there's just something about her work - it's hard to exactly know what makes it so great!  She is a French-born, self-taught artist and textile designer, her textiles are so inspired! - she is the founding member of The Memphis Group which was an influential Italian design and architecture group In the 80's.
