Be an Artist
Inspiration

It may be recession-time on Wall Street or Main Street, but the runways were rich with color, expression, and boldness. These painterly prints remind us to express our inner artist with action and freedom. Akris features a splattery oil-and-water explosion, Bernhard Wilhelm’s take is inky and fast, Jonathan Saunders shows some beautiful stylized paint strokes, and Helmut Lang’s resort 09 collection brings us this drippy marbleized painting that evokes tentacles and insect legs. Nation, bust out your paint sets and get to work on those runway-inspired pieces! Here in our studio, we are flinging paint around like Jackson Pollock and spinning colors like Damien Hirst . – Claudia
