INTERIEUR: Inspiratie Oost & West


De culturen, de ambachten en de mystiek uit het Verre Oosten boeien ons westerlingen al eeuwenlang. Tenslotte leerden we van de Chinezen hoe we Delfts Blauw moesten maken, ligt de oorsprong van de Italiaanse pasta daar en zouden we zonder de Japanners hoogst waarschijnlijk geen sushi hebben gekend. In 2011 was het Verre Oosten actueel in interieurtrends. Wil u de inspiratie uit Oost & West Woonmodetrend 2011 tóch laten zien vanwege de prachtige invloeden. Indigo blauw, origami-achtige vormen, symmetrie en orde waren belangrijk. Voor meer informatie zie de bijgevoegde link beneden.

FASHION: Look-a-Like Louis Vuitton S/S 2013 dress

INSPIRATION:

 

Marc Jacobs liet met zijn Louis Vuitton collectie voor Spring/Summer 2013 zijn modellen in jaren ´60 geïnspireerde jurkjes de roltrap afkomen. De jurken in de show hadden drie lengtes, mini, midi en maxi. Op internet vond ik leuke inspiratie van een Look-a-Like Louis Vuitton jurkje via I Love Fashion News. Is het geen enig jurkje? Voor meer informatie zie de bijgevoegde links.

INTERIOR: Porta Romana - very elegant interior designs
