lisasaeboe: A Fauvist Analysis of Self by Lisa Saeboe Henri Matisse’s paintings have served as consistent visuals throughout my childhood, yet it was only recently that I decided to study his work and understand his rather peculiar aesthetic. Initially, I found his work rather displeasing and I simply did not fathom his abrupt and harsh use of colors. Yet after reading several of his essays, I truly realized his seamless intent. Matisse was quoted saying, “I feel through colour, so it is through it that my canvas will always be organized. Yet the feelings ought to be concentrated and the means used brought to their maximum expression”. He offered a new understanding and dimensionality through self-expression that I felt very inspired to emulate. Rather than focusing on the form of the photograph, I wished to convey my  sentiments through colors, thus the creation of A Fauvist Analysis of Self. It was an incredibly pure and refreshing new way of expressing myself, freeing myself from the inclination to over-conceptualize. It’s amazing how investigating an artist’s reflections of their own work can inspire your own.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN FALL/WINTER 2012.13

Absolutely stunning! Alexander McQueen designer, Sarah Burton, presents a beautiful futuristic and romantic collection that could easily be seen gracing a Metropolitan Museum retrospective sometime in the future. 

There is something so unbelievably beautiful about these garments, their short, puffed volumes intricately textured with fur, feather and flowers, and elegant bursts of pastel orange and red and pink. Hands down the best creative mind in contemporary fashion this season. A++! Peep the collection in motion (above)!
