The funniest thing was, there was nothing Chinese about this but my best friend immediately says to me, Ohho! Last Emperor! Lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/art-inspired-color-combinations#post-771566 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 05:28:57 +0000 Diana 771566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We used to have these "picture perfect" challenges around here sometimes where we'd wear interpretations of famous paintings and photos. </p> <p>I also once put together an outfit based on the Ezra pound poem, "in a station of the metro". (Sorry, am using my iPad so it's hard to link but you can find it and the picture perfect challenges by searching the forum.)</p> <p>Love your interpretation of the opera character! Great color combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/art-inspired-color-combinations#post-771532 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 04:28:31 +0000 amiable 771532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/art-inspired-color-combinations#post-771525 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 04:06:53 +0000 JR 771525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't consciously done it yet, unless you count the outfits I have put together around art-based scarves. One of them based on a Chinese painting. But it's a great idea. I love your combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/art-inspired-color-combinations#post-771520 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 03:59:33 +0000 Kristin L 771520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors are beautiful. I don't think I've ever tried to emulate art in my clothes unless I count the Starry night shirt I had in high school. :)</p> <p>I think the color combo you have on looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/art-inspired-color-combinations#post-771517 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 03:55:02 +0000 Anne Boleyn 771517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So a question for y'all - I saw Mochi posting Mondrian the other day - what art inspires YOU to combine unexpected colors? Please share pictures if you can!</p> <p>For me today, it's Kunqu, one of the older Chinese opera styles. I went to see a performance yesterday, and even though it was a fairly mediocre troupe, it was inspiring both culturally and aesthetically (musically is another story - I like it, but I don't *get* Chinese music the way I do Western).</p> <p>ANYWAY. Look at these awesome pictures I stole from the internet of Kunqu costumes. How are those colors NOT inspiring?</p> <p>Our Lin Chong (character #3) had dark blue trim on his costume, in addition to the turquoise and red, that looked pretty cool - I'm not 100% sure about my own mix, but maybe that's because I'm not an ancient hero.</p> <p>What are some of your art-inspired outfits?<br /> Will you ever dress to emulate Chinese opera - lol? </p>
