DIY inspiration: Ropes

Today DIY inspiration is rope. Ropes are easy to handle, come in a wide variety of colours,shapes,dimensions.You can istantly decorate something with ropes.

1) They are great with tassels and you can immediately make a belt with the rope used to tie curtains.
2) You can experiment some knots and use them to decorate a top, to make shoulders straps

3)make a nice braid to make a bracelet or use plenty of them to make a necklace

4) glue pieces of ropes on shoes,choose red and blue for a nautical inspiration or neon colours that are so in trend right now.

In the first and last pic there are some extreme examples of clothes made with ropes. They're completely covered with ropes,the first one it sick! I love it!

Paco Rabanne metalwork

This post is about the history of fashion. Above you can see some Paco Rabanne creations where the repetion of a single element constructs the dresses. I was especially hit by all this metalwork. The shiny gold outfit looks like an armor and the hand, cuff and head decoration are a true statement. The other metal outfit is meticoulosly made by triangles and the sleeves are beautiful decorated, it's like a hedgehog dress. I find them very inspiring and very modern
