Fashion comes and fashion fades but style remains the same

Lookbook Fashioned in Corset. Corsets been a fashionable key item of an outfit which has improved its technique of manufacturing ever since it came into existence. During 14 th and 15 th centuries corsets were lavishly ornamented with lace and jewels . .Corsets or stays were not only worn by women but also children and men .By the early 18 th century whalebone was being used extensively and the improvements in moulding and making techniques were laying foundations for 19 th century corsets.Between 80’s and 90’s corsets got combined with great beauty.Typical corset model were boned with whalebone and split cane,having forty or more supports working in conjunction with shaped pieces and corded side sections. The garments were exquisitely made from lined back sateen with heavy embroideries in coloured cottons or silks. All was handwork and for each corset there were often more than 30 supports stitched.1910 brought a revolution of colour when Symingtons introduced snowy white corset. White corset success led to F.G.Cox ‘s introduction to a corset tinted to match the rose in the garden and resulted into shade of peach called “ Blush White “ . These corsets laid the foundation for “ Tea Rose “ colour.By 1914 corsets were so long that fashionable women were finding difficult to sit down and with war time such fashion started declining .After armistice Symingtons once again introduced a whole new range of colours  butterfly blue ,Persian mauve ,shell pink and wave green and as trends keep rolling the cycle and seasons .... "Fashion comes and fashion fades but style remains the same " - Coco Channel.Corset with huge fashion history with all its ups and downs still maintains its ultra feminine style .

The LookBook of Anonymous Artist

LookBook Spots an Anonymous Artistwith WoodArt on a Tree

Its not an art exhibition or art studio I been to but just been out for my normal walk in War Memorial park ,Coventry .There while walking  I came across one big tree cut down with few wood carvings done on it by some anonymous figure. I am not art expert or know much on wood art but just like art in any format so stood there admiring the art on a tree and just thought to share about it with my blog readers.The artist behind this art work can be a lover of nature or maybe someone who specialises in designing and making art on wood. The art images looks like inspired by nature with depictions of insects and flowers.The art displays couple of bugs been carved then from there the artist elaborated a bug and leaf pattern.After that leaf pattern the artist seem to be flow fully in his imagination where everything is blooming surely artist is taken by spring here with so many flowers overlapping each other and then a large butterfly pattern looks stunningly artistic.By now artist behind this art on wood knows what he is upto and carves a beautiful pattern of leaves and stems adorned by large butterfly.Look at the detailing on leaves like veins looks how much effort and hard work involved in creating one leaf.Then from there his imagination takes the form of some human face with long hair and characteristic features of a man  to me it appeared more like dumbledore really but its whatever way you want to imagine this unknown artist. I had a good walk and a moment of art out of blue for me became a bloggers delight to share it with my blog readers.The photos taken by me might have not done full justice with the artwork on tree as tree as well at a height for me to frame them into my phone camera .
