I don’t remember how I stumbled onto Jonas Unger’s portfolio but I’m happy that I did. Literally, each image has so much to say. I want to know what is going on beyond the moment that was captured. What do you think?

It’s the Spring Fashion Issue of New York Magazine. Look at this editorial titled Dress Descending a Staircase with all these saturated colors.

I have a weakness for clothes that look like art. Last summer, I bought a dress from Zara simply because I felt like a walking painting. These blow that dress out of the water.

The Zac Posen is my favorite, maybe I have a thing for the brush strokes, hand-painted element?

I am loving this dress. This photograph by Jonas Unger is amazing. Where can I find something like this? There’s metallic stripes, a little embroidery at the chest…

Look how towards the bottom of the image, the stripes blend together. It’s as if someone smudged it with a moist finger to achieve a  painted affect.

Love!
