INSPIRATION - Unexpectable results when a mother let complete her work drawings to her daughter of 4years old
Mica Angela Hendricks is an American artist. Initially she did not want her daughter close to her sketchbook, because Mica knew that her girl would have scribbled it. But one day she decided to leave Mila finish a drawing.
The result was really impressive, a combination between the mother's realistic portraits and the rude and infant sign of her daughter, was able to recreate bizarre and imaginative characters from the truly unique charisma.
After Mila contribution, the mother finishes the design with the colors.
This would make us understand that many times, be able to let go and overcome our mental limits leads us to unexpected and totally fantastic results.

INSPIRATION - Botanic Illustrations
Vi è mai capitato un libo di botanica tra le mani?
-------- x x x x x x x x x x x x x x -------------
Prima che la fotografia ne decretasse il declino, l'illustrazione botanica aveva raggiunto livelli così eccelsi di qualità, precisione e verosimiglianza, che per molti esperti il disegno e l'acquerello sono in grado di rappresentare una pianta meglio di una qualsiasi fotografia.Per l'appunto, la figura di spicco nella storia degli illustratori botanici è Pierre-Joseph Redouté.Nato a Saint-Hubert (Ardenne belghe),è stato un pittore ed un botanico che divenne celebre per le sue pitture di fiori all'acquerello, e più particolarmente delle rose. Tanto che fu soprannominato "IL RAFFAELLO DEI FIORI".
Opere illustrate di Pierre-Joseph Redouté.
In quel periodo la Francia fu al vertice nel genere della pittura botanica ed insieme a Redouté collaborarono altri grandi artisti poliedrici di cui vi accenno i nomi più noti: Pancrace Bessa, Pierre-Antoine Poiteau, Jacob van Huysum.
Segnalo anche la curiosa Alida Withoos (1659 -1730 Amsterdam), è stata una pittrice e illustratrice olandese del secolo d'oro. Alida fu istruita dal padre assieme agli altri figli. Anche i suoi fratelli erano attivi come disegnatori di fiori,uccelli,farfalle e altri animali del sottobosco, tanto che queste immagini erano regolarmente chiamate " Withoosjes".
Per terminare con il lavoro di Albrecht Durer - La grande zolla, che anticipa di quasi tre secoli la minuziosa descrizione della natura, figlia dell'Età dei lumi.

FASHION DESIGN - Thakoon design
Remember this name.
The Thakoon collection is a true reflection of the highly diverse background of its designer, Thakoon Panichgul. Born in Thailand, raised in Omaha and now New York-based, Panichgul’s creations blend various distinct influences with dynamic ingenuity. His work is an examination of innovative construction. His collection imparts a feminine spirit, poised elegance and an underlying hint of playful wit.
Upon earning a business degree at Boston University, Panichgul moved to New York to begin his career in fashion—first in production, then merchandising—laying the foundation to what has become a very well rounded background in the business. Prior to launching his own label, Panichgul spent four years as a writer and editor for Harper’s Bazaar, where he chased after style news, traced trends and developed fashion stories. Eventually, he decided to try his hand at design, leading him to enroll at Parsons School of Design.
In September 2004, Thakoon presented his first ready-to-wear collection, quickly becoming one of fashion’s most celebrated talents to emerge from the New York scene. In 2006 Thakoon was one of 3 recipients of the Vogue/CFDA Fashion Fund and also has been nominated by the CFDA for the Swarovski Award for Best Emerging Womenswear Designer. He developed a cult following and created a unique niche, consistently showing collections of beautifully crafted, feminine designs which are as romantic and sensual as they are modern and intelligent.
Panichgul is fascinated by decorative ideas that spin out of constructing clothes. Where classic patterns have existed for decades, the nuances involved in finishing the garments are reexamined or altered in some way. The subtleties, he believes, make all the difference.
