Fashion Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh, "Starry Night Over the Rhone"





The inspiration of Vincent Van Gogh. Let Art Inspire You.

In his words, a letter to his brother Theo

"Included a small sketch of a 30 square canvas - in short the starry sky painted by night, actually under a gas jet. The sky is aquamarine, the water is royal blue, the ground is mauve. The town is blue and purple. The gas is yellow and the reflections are russet gold descending down to green-bronze. On the aquamarine field of the sky the Great Bear is a sparkling green and pink, whose discreet paleness contrasts with the brutal gold of the gas. Two colorful figurines of lovers in the foreground."

The sparkling lights of London are the most magnificent display of Christmas Wonder. Harrods is lit up this time of year with lights, sparkle, and deco. It is like no other place in the world, and even the hussle and bussle of the final days of hectic buying can diminish the winter cheer that this city has cast.
There is electricity in the air. The old world buildings speak, and you can softly hear ol' Big Ben, whisper in your ear the secrets of your heart. 
Rain drops pitter patter on your tired shoulders, and if you are just lucky enough...
perhaps your deepest wish will come true.
