Sandra Dieckmann. Found You There.
Preparing to leave AZ, this image is weirdly appropriate…
I remember when Karl Lagerfield’s Russian inspired collection came out in 2009 because a classmate rushed in and literally threw the magazine at me in happiness. I was studying fashion design at Nanyang in Singapore but instead of joining my classmates in fawning over the originality and creativity of the designs I was immediately was fascinated by the historical elements incorporated in each piece.
I’ve taken the post I made from my old blog and reposted it on my new blog because I still find it fascinating. Even though it’s such an old collection it’s always been one of my favorites. It was the turning point in helping me to realize that I needed to go into historic costuming. After discussing the collection in a group setting my lecturer noted that if I could look at a new collection and only see the history I needed to change majors. So I did.
I’ve added all new facts and now that I know where to look; even better photos.
(I can’t for the life of me remember who is responsible for this photo montage. If you do know could you please send me a name and I’ll credit?! Ta!)

“California-based artist Tim Hawkinson is known for taking everyday materials and altering them in imaginative ways, creating works that address broad issues about the intersection of human consciousness, nature and technology. Here, he employed a mix of found objects and common household materials—including twist ties, craft wood, staples, and packing material—which he transformed almost alchemically into a complex and awe-inspiring sculpture.”
