Style Imitating Art…
Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Last year, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on our blogs. Think of it as fashion meets art museum! Anyone and everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in on the fun. You don’t have to be a blogger to participate, either! Salazar selected our inspiration artwork this week.
How it works…
Here are the details: Every other Monday, one of us will select a piece of art. That is shared via all three co-hosts’ blogs. On the following Monday, all three share their looks on their blogs. If you choose to participate, send a photo to the curator for that particular week. You, as well as the other participants, will be featured on the curator’s post that Wednesday. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! If you decide to play along this time, please send your photo to Salazar by Tuesday, November 4th at 10:00 pm EST to be included. I hope you will join us! I think this could be the best way to start something new! Remember, you don’t have to be a blogger to be a part of this. You can snap a photo and send it in. We love to have readers join in on the fun, too.
Why…
Salazar wrote, “Since it’s close to Halloween, I want something Halloween-related without being too obvious, so I chose this 1868 painting, “The Symphony of the Cats”, or Katzensymphonie, by Austrian artist Moritz von Schwind. It was drawn as a gift for violinist Joseph Joachim, to celebrate Joachim’s appointment as director of Berlin’s Hochschule für Musik. I think it’s a really cute piece and very appropriate for Halloween.” I have something in mind, but I’m not sure cats will like it!

What a fun piece of art.
Isn’t it really cool? I’m looking forward to styling this one!
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Thanks, Kellyann! Believe it or not, I actually have two things in mind already!
Ha! Gundel and der Dekan are eager to see what you’ll come up with. It better be good, you know they can be harsh critics of human ideas.
Oh, dear! Well, one of the ideas will get them twitching with excitement. The other, which is the one I’m leaning towards, will probably have them shredding it as it will be boring to them!
Happy new week! I am eager to see what you come up with.
Thanks, Benita! I have a couple of options I’m thinking about.
This picture is delightful. The movement and whimsy-overlaying-the-mundane is super fun. Curious to see what you do with it!
Thanks, Edi! I really like this piece of art. I have two options and will probably end up going a completely different direction!
