Breezy Doin' It Big

FRIDAY MUSE
Recommendation: Monica, TREND Staff Writer

Even with an indisputable mishap that ruined his image, Chris Brown is still recognized for his amazing talent in many aspects such as singing and dancing. Recently, he has shown a different side of himself in a more artistic sense. In the pictures above, Chris teamed up with Australian graffiti specialist Kid Zoom to collaborate on some art pieces.

Chris stated "Art was my only outlet. Aside from music, art is the thing that I like to escape. And I appreciate other artists who have that talent and that eye for detail and eye for their own imagination. Art is a part of my life and it influences me completely.”

While looking at the pieces he created, one can assume that his inspirations came from his every day experiences. Additionally, his art is also reflected in his fashion sense as both are independent and unique to himself. He says that when you think about style, it's what you basically bring to it and that's exactly what he did with the murals he created. His ideas for music, art, and fashion are all incorporated into one which makes Chris Brown the fashionable icon that he is today.

Chris always states that "The clothes don't wear you. You wear the clothes." Fans should try to replicate this mindset since fashion is all about how you present yourself. It's also about what you are trying to say by the way you piece your clothes together. It's all about making a statement and that's what Chris continually does whether it be through music, art, or fashion.

Sit. Stay. Heel!


Petros Chrisostomu thinks BIG...literally. The photographs above are of oversized sculptures of heels! Although you can't wear these, you can admire adoringly. Imagine owning one of these pieces in homage to the shoe  (a love we all share). If you had one of these, nobody would doubt your love of shoes...but where would you put it? :P

Fine Art and Fashion: Like Peanut Butter and Jelly














It's great when two different types of designers come together to create a masterpiece-that is, the fashion designer and the fine artist. Looking through "Fashions of A Decade, the 1970s" by Jacqueline Hearld, I came upon this
fabulous Andy Warhol jacket, and also an advertisement for Levi's based on Michelangelo's Sistene Chapel work. Fashion and advertising often appropriate famous works in new ways. And then there are also artists who in a sense use fashion accessories as their canvas, such as Toronto shoe artist Matthieu Missiaen, who revitalizes old high heels with his colorful street art designs. Clothing design is definitely an art, and when coupled with fine art, it becomes doubly gorgeous!
