Inspiration Strikes....

I was doing some research into designers and artists and inspiration strook when i found these images of Alexandra McQueens Spring/Summer 2011 collection, the 3-D manipulated garments are gorgeous. They are so well matched to the project i'm doing now, these pieces are so inspirational.

I love how delicate these shoes are, they are so cute and work so well within the rest of the collection. The illustrations on the left hand image are really nice too, they are so delicate and deciptive, i hope to portray my drawings of insects in this style of illustration.

As well as Alexandra McQueen's collection above I found this really lovely work by a Surface Pattern Designer called Laura Costello who's based in Leeds, (http://www.lauracostello.co.uk/index.html) her work on her website is so fine and handcrafted. The Sumptuosa collection featured on her website is really, really beautiful.
