FFfT: INSPIRATION

Reading through my daily BLOGLOVIN' roll, I stumbled upon the coolest thing. New York Magazine's fashion blog, <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2010/09/one_word_one_shot.html">The Cut</a> made a slideshow of photos given by 100 designers. And not of just any photo -- it is a single picture along with a required one-liner, as a point of inspiration that captures the whole vibe of their upcoming Spring 2011 shows. It's not often that we get to see mood boards or quirky photos that let us into the minds of these fashionable artists, so therefore I was pleasantly amused [and<i> inspired</i>] while clicking through the collection. <br />Below are some of my faves.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Q1RalmJavmRVGNBQ-35sFdD0EpySlp0zzbuZ0DttLSqWQEDoyyXya3rtlPKCyf_CQVrSfajNzw-SQasQyZ7dwpOsfkQFWRpqfcLLkoerhk6y4I85bbIaBN9lrHflHs3o9uM6SKbwgGI/s1600/Alexander-Wang+" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Q1RalmJavmRVGNBQ-35sFdD0EpySlp0zzbuZ0DttLSqWQEDoyyXya3rtlPKCyf_CQVrSfajNzw-SQasQyZ7dwpOsfkQFWRpqfcLLkoerhk6y4I85bbIaBN9lrHflHs3o9uM6SKbwgGI/s640/Alexander-Wang+" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">ALEXANDER WANG: "WHITE OUT"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqtYzXHhDHCSkUB2GnQ9iLbQl8WDDHXDgrw46ZvSAED7Z0uRjuC6YLWegHhGEMY_9ZQm5GlsAO2QiN-yZK5BF4QoXH8b5SsdPNms0sTv2fNAbzwpHdV1QP6yC4pBKr4MLDGIlB62DvkDM/s1600/Charlotte-Ronson+" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqtYzXHhDHCSkUB2GnQ9iLbQl8WDDHXDgrw46ZvSAED7Z0uRjuC6YLWegHhGEMY_9ZQm5GlsAO2QiN-yZK5BF4QoXH8b5SsdPNms0sTv2fNAbzwpHdV1QP6yC4pBKr4MLDGIlB62DvkDM/s640/Charlotte-Ronson+" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">CHARLOTTE RONSON: "ADORN"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMrTZE3N2XumLvoahyphenhypheng4b10ipHJLwDutUUid2Csoc7PwIQCqVqaczyqyLe_UIDyLRRJIdHbjO5v9wGL84tm0KnyA_XCTDRjg4wGXD6jgRV85ch7hxAzmeRGjvuziYUaS8xtcp7x098vY/s1600/Narciso-Rodriguez+" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMrTZE3N2XumLvoahyphenhypheng4b10ipHJLwDutUUid2Csoc7PwIQCqVqaczyqyLe_UIDyLRRJIdHbjO5v9wGL84tm0KnyA_XCTDRjg4wGXD6jgRV85ch7hxAzmeRGjvuziYUaS8xtcp7x098vY/s640/Narciso-Rodriguez+" width="498" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> NARCISO RODRIGUEZ: "THE BEETLES"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE9gHHlVmnc7jEvmh0KdftMdtvwtbdLHRm74XC_PPoc9QENPhmxqXrTIDMf2GNZyInGv2D4ObeomXgqf2MSn0E8lfSHD_-ohGOsUo7fgb96zD4mEoTlkEGcFgxc0bmdsUKqm7902T-yzw/s1600/rag-and-bone+" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE9gHHlVmnc7jEvmh0KdftMdtvwtbdLHRm74XC_PPoc9QENPhmxqXrTIDMf2GNZyInGv2D4ObeomXgqf2MSn0E8lfSHD_-ohGOsUo7fgb96zD4mEoTlkEGcFgxc0bmdsUKqm7902T-yzw/s640/rag-and-bone+" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">RAG & BONE: "SUBSAHARA"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghzslD7OuHERNyF3yyoARiCsb8x1a_lmaWDp0aMBobtyFqhCVpUR5Hi_1caqgNC3XEigJhSGQKMf6hxsnqWLEcloeql0apTATr0zEHEs1ffne3wWgX-wo2_fYBbZC4WEv6CFWQMO0feCw/s1600/Thakoon+" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghzslD7OuHERNyF3yyoARiCsb8x1a_lmaWDp0aMBobtyFqhCVpUR5Hi_1caqgNC3XEigJhSGQKMf6hxsnqWLEcloeql0apTATr0zEHEs1ffne3wWgX-wo2_fYBbZC4WEv6CFWQMO0feCw/s640/Thakoon+" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">THAKOON: "MATTRESS"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It'll be very interesting to see how these inspirational pictures will play out once Spring 2011 shows debut.
