Wardrobe Projects: Skeletons in the Closet
During some researches on other topics I came across more and more so-called wardrobe projects. For a longer time now I'm also actually thinking of doing something similar. So here a list with some good examples.
#1: Swedish artist Johanni Öst's wardrobe project. She has a pretty nice explanation for doing it: I have lots of clothes I never wear, so I thought I'd make a project of using them. I will go through my wardrobe one garment a day, build a great outfit around it, and take a photo. When I'm finished I'll have a bunch of photos to look at whenever I feel I have nothing to wear. She also has sets on toys and 60s girl calenders.
#2: Karin Öst (Swedish, too) takes a photo nearly every day. Her outfit set contains more than 80 pics. I like her style. She has also sets on self-sewn clothes, fabrics and patterns.
#3: Jek: Personally, I don't like her style that much. But I love her sets. She's creating so many lovely things as toys, felt stuff and a lot of other crafty stuff.
At Flickr there's actually a whole group on this wardrobe thing called "wardrobe remix". It was created by Tricia Royal. And that's her intention in doing so: i believe the best stylists walk the streets, not the photo sets, nor the backstage of the runways. the real innovators are you and me: real, fashionable people, men and women alike. [...] the idea is to see the trends in your own way of styling, what you love best, and how you are seen by others in your everyday duds. it is NOT about rating others or flaming people for their own personal style decisions or looks.
