More about the fashion designer
“WHEN I STARTED CHENPENG I WAS TWENTY-FOUR, I ALWAYS KNEW WHAT I WANTED”

Chen Peng graduated from London College of Fashion, where he received a Master's degree in Menswear Fashion Design Technology. His works can be defined as the One-sized Fashion, speaking for the minority with special body sizes. In Peng’s design aesthetics, there are no boundaries between beauty and ugliness. Instead, he focuses on accentuating personal features. Peng designs pieces suitable for both over-sized and skinny masses by comparing different body shapes among various individuals. Anders Sølvsten Thomsen, the stylist from ANTIDOTE magazine, described Peng’s work as “anti-tradition and deviant.”
As the creative director of CHENPENG, Peng has his own attitude and opinion for the industry. He thinks keeping the line and designing process closely integrated is crucial, it is necessary to have some elements of boldness and surprise in design, but it also has to remain practical and functional.

Impressionism: Water Lilies by Claude Monet, 1899

  
While surfing on Twitter today I found this beautiful painting from Claude Monet called 'Water Lilies'
. I guess long-time readers discovered already that I love Impressionism and especially painting from C
laude Monet. I hope you're inspired ... Earlier I wrote more blogs about ART, SEE HERE

More about the artist
Claude Monet, 1840–1926, French landscape painter. Monet was a founder of Impressionism. He adhered to its principles throughout his long career and is considered the most consistently representative painter of the school as well as one of the foremost painters of landscape in the history of art. As a youth in Le Havre, Monet was encouraged by the marine painter Boudin to paint in the open air, a practice he never forsook. After two years (1860–62) with the army in Algeria, he went to Paris, over parental objections, to study painting. In Paris, Monet formed lasting friendships with the artists who would become the major impressionists including Pissarro, Cézanne, Renoir, Sisley and Bazille. He and several of his friends painted for a time out-of-doors in the Barbizon district. Monet soon began to concern himself with his lifelong objective: portraying the variations of light and atmosphere brought on by changes of hour and season.
