In a dark classroom, filled with wooden desks and dim laptop screens, I found myself slowly dozing off to slides of Monet. My Art History class was a compulsory module in order to take my Film Studies class at Columbia NYC that summer; but at the mere age of 16 I had a massive lack of appreciation for art; I regretfully admit that I was more interested in the gift store at the MoMa. Rest assured, much has changed over the last five years and through some sort of midnight epiphany, I found a love for art when I did a hop, skip and jump over to London. Imagine my glee when I got to attend the Lumas: Art Now launch last week. (Beyond belief in case you haven’t caught on)

I don’t think art is something you stare at blankly on a prescribed marking on the floor and attempt to reach some sort of internal enigma. Rather art is relatable, or rather it should be. At the risk of preaching a Theory of Knowledge syllabus at you (holla at my fellow IB’ers) art is a matter of perception; a personal matter. What makes it worth hanging up on your wall or gawking over at Frieze or ignoring completely, I don’t know, but all the same, it’s thought provoking. To even have this discussion, art should be accessible, which was the goal of the Lumas: Art Now launch – Limited editions print in small sizes available for your gifting/consuming pleasure.

Stripes

There’s something about stripes that I find so chic. If paired just correctly, they can be incredibly elegant.

 Although my iPhone is set on crushing my dreams of warmer weather approaching, I choose to believe that what I physically feel when I step out is more accurate than what my weather app chooses to show me. As I type this out, rays of sunlight are shining in to my flat, ensuring me that I am in fact correct. In other words, Spring is coming (As is Game of Thrones… if you missed the reference). While I shed my layers in the coming months I find myself reaching for prints instead. You can’t really go wrong with stripes after all.

There’s a certain attitude to have about trends.

 We can’t lie when we say that the arrival of fashion month doesn’t bring us all excitement. Whether you’re attending the shows or observing from afar via your technological medium, it’s really the advent of the new. New trends, new clothes, new moods, essentially, if I dare use this word, new vibes. So although we are gearing up to see what Fall/Winter is going to bring us, let’s appreciate what’s coming instead. Even with all the excitement, treading on trends is similar to walking to on hot coal with no shoes, be sure to tread carefully – there is no point attempting to recreate the exact trend/look/vibe (Couldn’t help myself, such a fun word), and loosing your sense of yourself. In case you missed it, tassels and fringe are one of the many trends for S/S 2016…Clearly it’s also one of my favourites. 

So if it’s one of your favourite trends to, be sure to play with it, make it yours, and by all means be inspired!
