Macro to Fashion

Surprisingly, it seemed like a part of London Fashion Week 2012 was also inspired by insects. What a coincidence! Read my previous post to see what I mean! :) Here are some images of Golan Frydman's designs for London Fashion Week 2012. He has tried to depict how insects transform themselves as a form of protection in his collection. One of the designs apparently took the idea of changing the cocoon into a butterfly too.

Groovy eh!?

 

Avant-guard to wearable

Here are some other images of some designs I found with an insect like appeal applied on to the garments as prints.

Cute aren't they? :)

 

Macro photography

Observing little things in nature that is greater than it's life size, through macro photography is quite an interesting field I must say. Macro photography is usually known as taking close up shots of very small subjects. Now that my boyfriend too has created a huge interest in Macro photography I couldn’t resist but to share some of his awesome photographs of detailed insects you never knew that existed in your neighborhood that does not look creepy, but absolutely attractive on camera! I’m thinking macro and fashion now! :D The beautiful details, colour contrasts and textures of these insects actually inspire me! Now wouldn't these colours look gorgeous on a garment? :)
