For some time I've been told my friends, family and those who try to act knowledgeable and invincible behind a keyboard, that Baroque resembles such things as their grandparents curtains. I o course, disagree completely. I did a little bit of research on the pattern style and this is what I came across, courtesy of the V&A museum in London:
"The Baroque style, popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, began in Italy and quickly spread to the rest of Europe. Characterised by luxury, drama and ornate detail, the style impacted upon all areas of art and design." - www.vam.ac.uk
So as I've not yet commented on anything that I wear I thought this would be the perfect starting point. Having the original design invented in Italy is a pinnacle choice for the Italian fashion giant -Versace. You can of course tell by the shirt, and of course by knowing me tht the shirt is of course Versace. However not be fooled into thinking that I love everything Donatella realises to the world, as this is not the case at all. Neither have I taken an almost immediate interest in the brand because of the placement given by Lady Gaga as so many people have.
For those of you with an artist eye, you can course see the key influence piece like this 18th century piece has on the design. It was of course, Gianni Versace who was the first to manufacture and design garments with such beautiful design and influence.
So just a quick one, but I thought some of you may appreciate an item of clothing really worth sharing,opposed to the typical menswear you see every guy walking around in. Every year, the same shit.
