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! Shelbee 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 Shelbee by Tuesday, October 21st 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…
Shelbee wrote, “He (Giuseppe Arcimboldo) is known for creating heads made out of random objects like fruits, vegetables, flowers, and even books. The “heads” are so clever and really crack me up. A Google image search for ‘Giuseppe Arcimboldo heads’ shows a bunch of different ones. I chose ‘Autumn’ for the obvious reason that we are really truly in autumn now.”

Can’t wait to see!
I love Arcimboldo. We had him hanging in our art room at school and it fascinated me even then. Then I saw a documentary on him which was really interesting because it explained the details and why the paintings are not just “nonsense paintings” (not everyone appreciated them back then).
Thanks, Cat! Wow! That is really cool to have his art in your art class. I am going to have to see if I can find anything on YouTube about him. I’m really fascinated by this painting! I don’t dare go looking for any more of his art because I’ll be down that rabbit hole forever!
Haha, what a weird piece of art! Time to get extra creative Marsha!
Thanks, Nancy!! You are so right…extra creativity is definitely needed with this one! But, it is kinda cool, right?
Lovely link-up. Can’t wait to see them.

Thank you, Annie! I am going to have to work hard for this one!
What a great picture! One any gardener would appreciate!
Thanks, Rosie! It’s really gorgeous, but I’m really struggling with how to approach this!
I remember seeing a series of these at our local art museum! I was fascinated by them.
Thanks, Joanne! That’s really cool! I had never heard of him. I can imagine seeing several would be really something!
I have a feeling you will meet the challenge head on and come up with something fabulous! I love the colors in this one!

Thanks for the confidence boost, Kellyann! This is going to be a tough one for sure. I love the painting…all that glorious fall produce! I’m just going to wait a bit for inspiration to hit!
This is absolutely beautiful — I love the Renaissance influence with autumn colors and textures.
Thanks, Laura! It’s gorgeous, but I am still completely baffled by what I’m going to do!
