The fog thickened and the only thing I could see was the fluffy seed ball of a dandelion

On a dreary day I was looking in to the garden, what wasn’t very easy because of the fog, and there he stood……   the most beautiful “blowball” I have ever seen.  I took some pictures of the beautiful seeds of the dandelion. The seeds  are attached to a pappus of fine hair. In this fine hair glittered millions of little dewdrops. The dewdrops were like crystals captured in the fluffy seeds. The seeds look amazing  they are like little helicopters waiting to be send out into the air.

 

I actually wanted to post some pictures of my outfit but I don’t have the time to finish them. So I will post them later. School is so stressful at the moment, I have to put al my time into it. It’s hard to find time for anything else. I need to finish al my school projects (I hope I will make it in time) and when that al is done, it ends with a week full of tests. After that my summer holiday will finely start! I will relax, have lots of fun, and do everything I want to do and more and of course I will make that post I told you about!

 

 But first I have to work hard and do my best. So wish me luck an enjoy the pictures of the “blowballs”.

In love with the creations of Jean Paul Gaultier

A week ago I’ve been to the amazing exhibition ‘The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier’. A dazzling multimedia show at the Kunsthal Rotterdam. Jean Paul Gaultier is a fashion designer from France. You might know him from things as the white and blue Breton shirts or the famous corsets with pointed bra cups which he designed for Madonna and Lady Gaga.

 

While traveling to the exhibition we had to take the tram. During the ride we saw a lot of old trees which where ‘dressed up’ with a blue and white stripped kind of corset. Everybody in Rotterdam must know who Jean Paul Gaultier is.

 

The multimedia show of J. P. G. was overwhelming. The exhibition is the ultimate expression of fashion creativity. The exquisite sets and extravagant looks are provocative and daring. J. P. G. continually tests the boundaries of what is regarded as ‘normal’ and ‘divergent’. His work is breath-taking, the craftsmanship and the extraordinary details awe-inspiring. Hundreds of hours of painstaking dressmaking, each stich and bead and feather and crystal and embroidered flower sewn by an expert hand. With an feeling for the spirit of times J. P. G. links up with existing cultures and subcultures such as the world of sailors, punk, Glam Rock and graffiti. His collections are inspired by world cultures, from Africa and India to Russia and Greece. The show at the Kunsthal Rotterdam presents over one hundred and forty creations from early nineteen-seventies to the present day.

 

At that day, at that time I really fell in love with Jean Paul Gaultier. I admire his infinite creativity and ‘his passion for fashion’. The show was great, the creations,  the interactive mannequins (so realistic that it was almost scary), the sketches, the photographs, the films and video clips were absolutely awesome.
