When I saw the post "Art on the Streets" by the fabulous Miss Moss, I thought it was such an ingenious idea. What I love most about these pairings is the way they suggest the continuity of fashion and its relationship with art. I also really adore her "Atonement & Morris" post, which shows how fashion, craft and art are intertwined. There's this tendency to pit one form of creative medium or process against another (i.e. fashion is "commercial", while art is not, craft is for amateurs, while art is for "real" artists). I'm more interested in how different media and creative processes blend into each other. These posts are such a great idea.

I agree, it is ingenious. Although the differences are subtle it makes more than enough sense. Well, fashion and art are never meant to make sense but you get the idea. haha
Great post and I love the new layout. <3
awesome post!
agree with you it`s ingenious. it`s a way to combine the past&the present, the real art and 'street' style, one shot and long hours of work, perception through lens and camera vs brushes and paints, other views on standarts. that's great
These are great. I saw them somewhere else, perhaps where you mentioned. I really like how you show them nice and large though... I totally agree with you about the silly hierarchy/pigeon-holing that people do with different creative mediums. I'm an appreciator of fashion, craft, etc and would like to think they are all interconnected.
this is so interesting, love this idea as for me art/fashion/craft can't be separated.
this so marvellous. well-done pairings, wonderful.
I love these types of posts. Creates a more interesting interplay rather than just looking at girls in cute outfits. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
really cool idea. thanks for sharing!
Thanks...I love this post...!
Woah! This post was so amazing! I never thought of putting current street fashion and art together - thanks for posting these images! I love the first one with the flowers, and then the one with the blue jumper and gold necklace.
Sometimes I think we underestimate how closely related everything is to each other. This is one such instance of proof, haha.
life imitating art- wowzers I like that! thanks for sharing this:) and i agree, people always put art and craft against each other and sometimes it's silly because it's more the fact that people long to create and do create. just... i don't know. loving the 3rd and 5th <3
this is beautiful, i love the connection between both mediums of art
wonderful post xo
this is fantastic on so many levels! the whole ideology blows me away!
thank you for posting this.
i am enchanted!
wonderful idea and a terrific find! love the atonement links as well, really match the beauty of that movie...
This is such a great idea and it reminds me of Proust's Swann who is always finding resemblences between figures from works of art and those in real life. The parallels between the paintings and the wonderful photos is brilliant.
beautifully done! love Vanessa's comment.
such an excellent project! i love the juxtapositions.
Dear Hila,
This is such a great post, great images, so inspiring! Happy new year!
All the best,
Kat

wonderful post!!!
love it!
Every time I see these beautiful combinations my breath is taken away ... just wonderful and wondrous all at once.
wow - this is lovely and inspiring. great thoughts - it's interesting how we pigeon-hole artistic expression. thanks for sharing.
I love these. The La Mosca girl is stunning and her necklace is a work of art. This really is a great project.
Wow! These are excellent! xxx
Wonderful post, I'm impressed.
Your blog is amazing.
Regards.

lavelle: thanks for following! much appreciated :)
hey hila, thanks for the kind post!
i suppose i should have renamed the 'colour comparisons' tag to something more apt - because it is, as you said, a bit more than that. not just the colour but a certain texture and feeling that i get between the two images; as well as the 'relationship' (so to speak) between different areas of creativity that seem so vastly different.
anyway, glad you liked them.
thanks so much Diana and more precisely, I'm glad you like it! I think whatever you call it, it's a wonderful idea and yes, it does speak to the texture and feeling between different art and media.
I'd not seen these before. How clever and beautiful.
beautiful and interesting pairings.
it is very clever Gracia, a stroke of genius.
and I agree Julie.
oh definitely!! It's so subtle and beautiful. Makes you appreciate the reality and the paintings much more visually, don't you think? :)
thea.
