{ NARS + andy warhol collection }

                                   

being a mod girl at heart with an obsession for andy warhol, i fell in love with the new holiday collection by NARS. inspired by the bright colours of warhol's paintings, to the muses that he admired the collection is a mix of pop art fun and 1960s seduction.  the promo video for the collection really embodies the spirit of warhol's factory studio, including the use of jana, the designer (pictured above) who has a striking resemblance to his "it girl" eddie sedgwick. all photos are from NARS cosmetics.ca

whenever i see something from my childhood appear years later, a feeling of nostalgic bliss takes over me.  but when i saw sabine ducasse's amazing garments created with of perler craft beads, my emotions went into overdrive.  the 2012 collection called melting pot is an amazing eclectic combination of shape and colour.

{ francis mirror }

artist constance guisset has created a series of mirrors called "francis", which look almost like portions of circular mirrors have been dyed with an explosion of colour. the mirrors and artist are featured on the website petite friture and it describes her work by saying "Francis is mirror whose pattern comes from a series of experiments making use of chromatic pigments fleeing on water, guided by a circular design..."

the pieces are so stunning, i love the subtle yet impressionable hint of colour!
