It's been a while since we had a challenge, so I decided to revive an old challenge that Hanna had invented. We have quite a few new members now, so I am sure this will be fun.
Rules:
- The challenge will run between May 16-20 (not next week, but the week after!).
- Each day you will wear, photograph and post on the forum an outfit inspired by a famous artwork. You can be inspired by the colors, or the mood of the painting. Anything about the painting that strikes your fancy and tickles your imagination.
- We will decide on one artwork for each day and everyone will use this picture as an inspiration.
- I will start a new thread each day for you to post that day's outfit.
- You can do all 5 days, or just participate for one day. No pressure!
- I will try to describe each painting to the best of my ability (and you can help me, too) so Michelle can play too if she wants.
What is the purpose of the challenge?
- The first rule of YLF: Have fun with fashion!
- But also: come up with new combinations, learn to draw inspiration from unorthodox sources, widen our imagination, see how different members interpret the same visual sources differently, etc. and did I say have fun?
Which artwork are we going to choose?
What better inspiration than world's most expensive paintings!
Below are the world's 10 most expensive paintings, according to wikipedia. Please vote below for ONLY 5 paintings that you think should be included in the challenge. You have from today until next Friday (May 13th) to vote. After that, I will tally the votes and announce the schedule.
