In the fashion world, some age-old styles come full circle, inspiring artists and designers to expose their aesthetics in fashion history.
In 'Chaos: The Vintage Issue' Winter 09/10, artists, photographers, writers and designers collaborate a multi-integrated issue on vintage garments. Seizing the past and reconstructing it for our modern world, designer Adolfo Sanchez had a six-page spread of his designs titled 'Visions of the Seer.'
His use of dark, muted colors eases us back into the Renaissance Age. The long draping, soft and dark lighting and black lace contrasting with white accents make a bold statement against the modern background. A dark, vintage-equestrian feel to the spread also epitomizes what Chaos is looking to expose.
