Once I have fallen in love with a piece of art, one of my favorite things to do is trace the inspiration behind it, especially across mediums—Friedrich Nietzsche’s influence on Otto Dix, William Faulkner and his best friend’s plantation records. Naturally, upon reading about designers’ inspiration for the Paris Couture collections, I searched for images with clear correlations to my favorite looks. Here’s what I found—enjoy!
1. Valentino and Jean Varon
2. Chanel and traditional Tartar embroidery
3. Christian Dior and Irving Penn
4. John Paul Gaultier and Elsa Schiaparelli
5. Givenchy and El Dia de los Muertos
