URBAN MINIMALISM

COLOR AND INSPIRATION FALL/WINTER 2017

URBAN MINIMALISM: CLEAN LINES, GEOMETRIC FORMS AND BURSTS OF COLOR. INSPIRED BY ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURES IN URBAN SPACES THAT FEATURE CLEAN LINES AND PASTEL HUES. THESE TWO ELEMENTS CREATE EYE-CATCHING AND VISUALLY APPEALING COMPOSITIONS. THE DELICATE, SOFT HUES ARE CONTRASTED BY THE ROUGH CONCRETE TEXTURES. EVERYTHING IS PRECISE AND MINIMAL, EVOKING A SENSE OF CALMNESS AND COMFORT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FAST-PACED URBAN ENVIRONMENT.

UNDEFINED

COLOR AND INSPIRATION FALL/WINTER 2017

UNDEFINED: INSPIRED BY PEOPLE’S CONSTANT SEARCH FOR AN IDENTITY THAT SOMETIMES DOES NOT FIT WITHIN THE MOLD OF SOCIETY AND THE UNCERTAINTY IT GENERATES TO PEOPLE. THE STRUGGLE OF TRYING TO DEFINE WHO ONE IS AND FITTING WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF TERMS THAT DO NOT REFLECT ONE’S IDENTITY, FEELING UNDEFINED EVOKES A FEELING OF INSECURITY. AS YOUNGER GENERATIONS ARE MORE OPEN-MINDED, THIS WHOLE TOPIC IS SLOWLY STARTING TO BECOME LESS CONSTRAINING, ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL CONTROVERSIAL. BECAUSE OF THIS REASON, THE TERM ANDROGYNOUS, WHICH REFERS TO THE COMBINATION OF MASCULINE AND FEMININE CHARACTERISTICS, IS RELEVANT TO GENDER IDENTITY AND LIFESTYLE, WHICH IS ALSO REFLECTED IN FASHION. THERE SHOULDN’T BE COLOR STEREOTYPES. COLORS REFLECT FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS, BUT DO NOT DEFINE GENDER OR SEXUALITY.

ETHEREAL: REFERS TO SOMETHING EXTREMELY DELICATE AND LIGHT IN A WAY THAT SEEMS TOO PERFECT FOR THIS WORLD. SOFT NEUTRAL COLORS, NATURAL SKIN TONES AND IMPERFECTIONS: TRULY BEAUTIFUL AND ADMIRABLE. IN THESE TIMES, THE CONCEPT OF BEAUTY IS DEPICTED BY AN IMAGE OF AN IDEAL BODY THAT IS ALTERED AND UNREAL. TRUE BEAUTY CAN REALLY BE FOUND IN THE RAWNESS OF UNEDITED FEATURES AND SKIN TONES THAT AT THE SAME TIME, SEEM DELICATE AND FRAGILE. NATURAL IS PERFECT, AND SO IS EVERYONE.

J U X TA POSED

JUXTAPOSED: INSPIRED BY THE CONTRAST CREATED WHEN PLACING SOMETHING SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE INTENTION OF BRINGING OUT A SPECIFIC QUALITY OR CREATING AN EFFECT. IN CONTEMPORARY ART, JUXTAPOSITIONS ARE OFTEN IN MIXED MEDIA, AND THE EFFECTS ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH COLOR, MATERIALS AND TEXTURES. IN THIS THEME, PASTELS GO BRIGHT AND ARE CONTRASTED WITH DARK COLORS, PATTERNS, GRAPHICS, AND TEXTURES THAT ARE VERY EYE-CATCHING, DYNAMIC, BOLD, PLAYFUL AND FUN. THESE PIECES EVOKE POSITIVE FEELINGS TO THE VIEWER. JUXTAPOSITIONS CAN BE WELL-ORGANIZED, YET UNEXPECTED, RESULTING INTERESTING, SURREAL OR CREATE OPTICAL ILLUSIONS THAT WILL PLAY WITH THE VIEWER’S MIND.
