Poetry and Polyvore

"Return" polyvore set - alvitafreestyleindetroit
"Healthy Style' is the season's new must-have!

Minds sprinkled with glittery make-up...

Eyes with a light dusting of eternal love...

Smiles glossed in a sensual hue...

Hearts mantled like a fine pearl...

Skin of satin...

Souls in stilettos!!!

The poem is an original writing of a childhood friend, Dawn Herrera Ocon.  She is a gifted writer and tireless romantic.  I adore her friendship and admire her adventurous imagination.

The month of January is almost gone and I'm just catching up with my blog post.  A little red visual mix for inspiration as we move through the winter season of northern climate.  I hope you are all well and getting adjusted to a new year.

Whatever you do, do it well
Whatever you do, do it big
Whatever you do, do for others
Whatever you do, do it in DETROIT

Cheers!

A Textile Holiday Tribute: Manuel Canovas Paris




One of the best aspects of working in Architectural Interior Design for me was exposure to Textile Manufacturers and Designers in that industry.  It's also been great to keep up on some of those lines as I continue to explore textile in fashion now.  Thank you Cowtan and Tout for allowing me to study the details of this Manuel Canovas "Frida" textile.  The modern application of this ancient Mexican Motif is bold and beautiful.  I'm sure it will find many happy customers and creative incarnations. 

The mannequin frock is a little fashion assemblage I threw together this week.  Consider it a Christmas postcard from Detroit to the many hands and professionals that continue to make the textile industry Artfully Inspired.  Happy Holidays!

Emerging Projects In The Art and Fashion Community




A little R&D goes a long way in the world of Art and Fashion.  Thought I'd share a little inspiration today which includes the following quote: "One thing at a time, all things in succession, that which grows slowly endures" - J.G. Hubbard.  Words I live by despite the supersonic speed of change.  Here's to savoring the beauty, inspiration and information with substance all around us today!

Art and Fashion get cozy at "Public Pool"

Is it really December already???  2011 is slipping away too quickly for my sentimental heart, sigh.  Ok, I had a moment and now it's time to take a look at a November outing. 
UN-dress: Re-dress, was a very exciting Art and Fashion themed show at the tiny urban "Public Pool" gallery.  Most of the photos above can be found at the on-line Metromix gallery compliments of photographer: Shaun Pezeshki. 
A nice mix of local Artist showed work but I was particulary interested in seeing the work of Sarah Lapinski (Wound Menswear Designer) and Mark Watson (Fiber Artist).  Congratulations to them both on a sweet show, and to Public Pool for bringing Art and Fashion together in a big way.
