ERIN MINKLEY

Speaking of pattern - an artist I know from high school (Erin Minkley, who is currently my new penpal - Facebook sure has it's perks!) has some work that has got me excited about pattern too.  I am so unfamiliar (and frankly uneducated) about textile art and I have been loving perusing her work for inspiration.

PATTERN

Tom has been talking to me about pattern a lot lately.  He's also pointing it out all of the time so during this past fashion week in NY and now all over Europe I find myself collecting all of these amazing patterns in my mind.  One of my favorite things about the patterns I have been seeing is that they are graphic, loud, and unabashedly layered on top of one another.

I have been eating up all of the fashion week images!

These images are collected from: Refinery 49, Vouge, the Sartorialist, and T magazine blog
