week 10: Silver Status

There are many status around us, and almost all of them are not painted on silver. Therefore, I was surprised that there is one silver status on Union Square. It totally got my attention!!! It is silver, not grey, brown, or white!! So the silver makes the status looks shinny and unique. I think it is really cool.

So I was researching about fashion in silver. I found out silver is really cool in garments! They look like so different and personality. Silver can shows personality very well. We can stand out from other people, and they are going to be cool at the same time!!!!

week 9: Srtipes

 

I like stripes. When I was passing by the Anthropologie cloth store, they were changing their decorations of the store, which is super pretty and easy to be noticed. It was composed by tons of different colors of long plastic lines. Because it was created by plastic lines, it looked shinny, so it gave the whole display volume a lot.  

Then, I thougnt of the designer Henry Holland's new collection for 2012, which is also stripes, but the  point is the stripes are also colorful, not monochroic.Also, the stripes go different directions, so it makes the stripes clothesmore interesting.

 



week 8: Geometric pattern

I think we often see the geometric shapes, patterns, and designs in our daily life. They can be very simple, and also they can be very complicate at the same time. All of these geometric things are so pretty and strong. On the street, there are many railings are geometric shapes, and most of all are repeated the pattern.

They are strong patterns as it repeats. At the same time, for each single part, it has its simple shape: square, round, and rectangular..etc. Since they are all gathered and repeat the same shape. The shape changes. The form changes. It becomes so much complecate pattern.

Sometimes, there are different shapes in the geometric form, and then it gives more design looking as whole piece. I think that makes the pattern more interesting than only repeating the same form.

Same thing in fashion. Many designers are using the geometric shape into their design, which createes totally differnt and complicate patterns. The geometric design can be created in so many ways. Like the above pictre. Also, at the same time, these garments all have their own voice of what they are presenting: clean cutting edge, irregular forms, and extremely complicate patern. I like these designs because they are all well thought-out and modern.

Week7: Accessories in the stores

I love looking for beautiful things especially for fashion. In different shops, they have various pretty accessories, but you still can find the relationships between them, and that really makes me happy because I can find many designs, but same style.

The belts are so cool, and also the way it displays is also simple, but lovely. The blue fabric as the background can let the items stand out more. All of them are similar design which has amazing details.

Another store, but the accessories are similar that have details with, and the background is also simple. Actually, I like the simlple style, so no matter what the items are, I love everything!!!! Also, the details of them are surpriseing me because they look simple but have some extra designs.

Week 6: street performance

Walking on the street is one of my favorite exercising, or you would say it is a habbit. This weekend I went to Soho and Union Square by taking subway, and I noticed that there are different kinds of street performances. Most of them are about music because I think music is the easiest way to gather people around, so I was stop walking and stay for a while to listen.

It was in front of intermix at Soho, and their music was so powerful and joyful. Everyone who passed by would like to stay and listen more songs. They have five people in their groups, four of them sing the songs, and one is palying the violoncello.

I think they were so happy and really enjoy performing their music to people. Their music was also great because the woman sang very well, and the guy was focusing on playing the violoncello. I saw some people were  having a good time to listen the music by their smiling face.
