Nature inspiration

I don't know about you, but I am very inspired by nature. Nature inspires my, art, my fashion, my life. I've noticed a growing trend in couture gowns. They are tending more, and more to imitate the glorious nature around us. Personally, I love this new trend, and I am excited to see what nature inspired fashion springs forth this year.

  Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.

One of my absolute favorite pieces of--what I consider art--fashion has to be this gorgeous work. I wish I knew who created this masterpiece.

 Everything is in some way inspired by the natural artwork around us.

That’s all for now. I must bid you adieu. I hope you found some inspiration within this post!
