art inspired: markus linnenbrink, skull5
Wednesday, May 16, 2012
I had the pleasure of meeting up with Brooklyn-based German artist Markus Linnenbrink in New York a couple of weeks ago. His work is in museums and collections world-wide; you can check out Markus' extensive paintings, sculptures and installations on his site--or watch this cool installation video to get an idea of his work.
This week's Art Inspired Fashion post looks to Markus Linnenbrink's dark candy colored pieces echoed in the saturated stripes hitting the fashion scene--a welcome twist on the ever classic nautical motif.
Details, clockwise left to right: Joie dress $200; YSL lipstick $32; Cheap Monday stripe shirt $22; Missoni knit coat $914; H&M striped dress $40; Markus Linnenbrink for Swatch watches; Hervé Léger dress; Chinese Laundry bootie $95; Denim tote $265; Miu Miu sunglasses $390; Topshop wedges $156; House of Holland shopping bag $292; Tabitha Simmons ankle strap sandals $1,445; Ray-Ban wayfarer shades $160.

My favourites remain the nautical stripes, but I'm already sporting a bright-striped top, very similar to the H&M dress you feature here and I'm loving it. :)

It's not really me as far as the clothes go, but I do love the accessories very much. A pair of wedges like these would be highly welcomed in my shoe collection. :)

I actually don't own any stripes. Not really something I gravitate to, but hey, this is the year of change so you never know!
I am so drawn to colorful stripes that I have to stop myself from buying them or that's all I'd have in my closet and I see a few pieces here I would covet. I love your art inspired series where I can learn about cool artists like Marcus Linnebrink! Hope you're having an amazing week Mary Jo!

I'm not sure about bright (as I tend to go for 'classic' shades like navy or red), but definitively I hope to have a lot of stripes in my outfits! Thanks for this inspiration Mary Jo and I wish you a great w-e!
