Applying artistic elements and principles to fields that reach beyond the basics (drawing, painting, etc...) really interests me. When I say this I am mostly thinking about clothing designers and cake artists. I love art. I love the freedom of the artist to create. I love the endless possibilities that come to mind when looking at a blank canvas. I love the idea of using art as a platform to reach an audience, to spread a message to them or to unite them.
So in all honesty I did pay very close attention to the clouds today. But I was thinking about hats. One designer in particular. He is from Ireland and his name is Philip Treacy. He makes the most amazing hats. Here are a few of his designs. I absolutely love how he applies the elements of art to design what he loves. Though I will probably never see someone walking down the sidewalk nonchalantly wearing one of his hats (they are quite "expressive"), I still find his designs very inspiring.
