What Inspired Our Heavy Metal Collection?
Yesterday I talked about how rock music inspired our Heavy Metal Collection but we were also inspired by the industrial trend that has been popular a while now. I have to give credit again to my beau who is a carpenter.He exposed me to the music but I have also worked beside him occasionally to create kitchen cabinets and furniture. We walk through home furnishing retailers and antique shops for inspiration and Lowes has become a second home for me. In fashion design school I learned of the trickle theories of fashion. Fashion is created in three ways. Fashion can trickle up from streets, we call this street style.Fashion can trickle down from the designers or trickle across from other industries. Industrial elements have shown up in home furnishings,clothing and jewelry. We decided to put our two cents in as well. See what inspired us...
The Industrial!!!
Industrial sites and materials inspired the shapes and materials we wanted to use. We decided to use materials you can find at home improvement stores combined with tradition jewelry making materials to achieve the feeling we wanted to convey.
Industrial Inspiration in Home Decor
Looking at industrial style home furnishings also helped to shape
the collection. We thought about lighting fixtures as pendants on necklaces and looked at shapes and colors for ideas for materials.
Industrial Inspiration in Fashion
The last thing we looked at was industrial inspired fashion to see what was already out there. We were inspired by the texture, structure and layering. We also payed attention to color contrasts.
The collection will become available for purchase online tomorrow. Look for our online premier post tomorrow with photos and more info about the pieces we created for the collection.
Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!
