If I wear scaves....

Living in the middle of nowhere may have its disadvantages and one of them is that we have the same weather all year long.. well almost it may change from hot and dry to hot and rainy, cool ain't it?.. NOT! I know you may think I'm crazy but I ADORE having 4 seasons, transitions and cold... for me is endless mix and matching of layers plus nice options of accessories...
Anyways, I recently found some really...REALLY cool carrés that I would loooooove to buy and wear! French designer Philippe Roucou has released a line of 100% silk scarves based around Polaroid found art. For those unfamiliar with the term, that means the Polaroid photos were simply found at random - perhaps on the street, in a garage sale, etc - and in almost all cases the artist is unknown.... and even though this can be worn in cold/hot/chill/whatever weather I just needed to get out of my system the fact that I miss winter!

If I were Inspired....

I would make these Gabriel Dawe installations the main inspiration on my mood board. Not only for some sort of textile design/experiment and interesting silhouette that can be developed due to thread manipulation but moreover for the color transition and blend.. it makes me think of spring/summer washed out patterns, hazy prints, plays on transparency, watercolor effects, barely there prints... Yup.. I can picture it already...
