Nagi Noda's hair pieces are created with great precision and skill.
I imagine them to be extremely tricky to create.
Mika Machida incorporates animals in to sleeves and dresses
concentrating on one form being a main focal point.
I love the use of embellishment to create Manish Arora's masterpiece.
The tigers face is moulded to put emphasis on the hips.
His collection also featured gorilla shaped bags!
Alexander Mcqueen has always been a favourite of mine.
It looks as if he has actually stuck on a real bird to this gown
but it doesn't seem to look out of place.
After trying my hand at a bit of photo shop, I started to wonder. Hmmm I wonder what designers have made of fashion and animal combination. An obvious influence is in animal print, such as leopard print with the designer Cavalli. I was pleased to find a whole range of of different applications to animals and fashion becoming one. As embellishments, as whole 3D shapes, in colour and in form. It makes me think of different ways I could apply the idea to my own work. Though not every idea is made easily as Nagi Noda has demonstrated. I would absolutely love to use these combinations in a collection. It's something different, something out of the box. It's brilliant. I am so used to be thinking inside the box to conform to a time restraint and a certain lack of ability and experimentation, but this time around, I won't let anything stop me. Watch out because animals are the new inspiration, and my gosh is it gunna be fierce.(I found these images by searching nature in fashion and animals inspiring fashion in to a search engine. Not a vey good way to research but a quick way to find numerous sources)
