Stella McCartney Introduces Fashion World to Impressionistic Art
In case you forgot, fashion is a form of art. It can capture true beauty the same way that a canvas can. In fact, Stella McCartney reminds of this connection to the painted world with pieces from her spring collection.
I must say, I would easily wear either this quaint little, ruffled dress OR carry this super-chic take on granny’s carpet bag to a Sunday at the Philadelphia Art Museum, a walk around the city, or trip out to visit the family.
Nay-sayers of this floral print are rolling in, but I find her inspired fabric choice flawless. I have not seen any floral print like it; it is grown-up without being old lady. It is impressionistic: Monet and Cassatt meet the fashion world. It is one of my top 10 dresses for spring 2008. It is … $1,000 each!!!
Okay, I love it, but I guess on my budget I will be heading out to the fabric stores instead, searching down a similar print to make my own version. Fingers crossed!
