Artdeco

Art Deco mood board

For the Art Deco exhibition which is going to take place early next month I am looking at the many modern designers in different disciplines  that have looked at art Deco as inspiration to create their own work and took my favourite images to made a mood board.    

Most buildings that  I came across the were not from the Art Deco period but are more recent buildings like the Hearst Tower in New York City completed in 2006 and the united state Air Force Chapel in Colorado Springs completed in 1962. You cannot ignore the Art Deco influence when looking at the buildings, the furniture, and fashion; old and new . fashion designers have been looking at Art Deco for inspiration more recently from  Gucci and David Koma's spring/summer 11/12 collections,  Herves Legers  spring 2013 and the George Chakra gown  was worn by Kelly Roland on the 2013 Grammy awards. There are also fashion accessories that are interesting from the way the Art Deco theme is interpreted, just to name a couple of what I have included in my mood board is the Judith Leiber crystal-encrusted clutch bag and the Charlotte Olympia sunset T-strap sandal.  

  From my mood board I have decided to use  the colours black, gold, white and cream  for the next set of jewellery pieces that I will be making. i will be using gold plated silver tubes and glass beads for the other colours.
