Pedestrian Crossing
Today's set was inspired by a painting by Wang Ling titled " Hong Kong ". What drew me to the painting was how it captured urban life in a setting unknown to me, but how there are certain elements that will always be a constant in any industrialized land. I was also visually drawn to the rail lines. For some reason, it stuck with me and I started thinking about all of the various pedestrian crossing signs. I wondered how I could translate the essence of the painting into an outfit. This dress by Edun captured the dreariness of the rainy day and the stark lines of the signage and rail lines. The leather jacket and accessories captured the toughness and the hard edges of the urban setting.
