The new look is inspired by Isabella Blow as photographed by Miguel Reveriego in 1996, one of my favorite fashion icons and eccentrics who passed away in May. Below is a magazine spread I designed for graphics class based on the article "Why Fashion Needs Eccentrics" from the July 2007 edition of Harper's Bazaar (a must read). Vanity Fair used the same photograph for their homage to her in their September issue article "Final Blow".
the text reads: Isabella Blow, who passed away in May, belonged to that rare category of women whose fearlessness in dressing transcends notions of good taste. When asked by a lunch partner several years ago how she planned to eat through the veiled antlers covering her head, she replied, "That is of no concern to me whatsoever."
