The Horror Pastel Project.

I know that Halloween is already far away; but the colours from bad slasher movies’ VHS covers remain in my mind. It’s not Spring either, so why pastel and acid tones? Probably just because they are very Eighties, very Miles Aldridge, and very enjoyable. Hope you like the palettes!

Most of the covers come from this fabulous website; the catwalk pictures are from different seasons; most of the paintings are by Cremonini, other by Dan Flavin. The first painting is The Deposition by Pontormo… and then loads of pictures from Miles; Isabella Blow;VALENTINO HAUTE COUTURE SS2010 (my favourite Couture collection ever), etc. etc.

  1. Eccomi (pas trop tot)! Questi collage sono stupendi, i colori sono semplicemente pazzeschi! Ed io che mi lamentavo che è sera, che sono stanca, eccomi con un sacco di ispirazioni grazie a te!

  2. tes collages me sublime toujours! mais c’est dommage que beaucoup de photos sont en petits format… on ne peut pas te les piquer!! hehe

  3. Love these collages! They’re full of great pics, nice selection!

  4. Just wanted to thank you for your recent comments. I agree that Christmas windows are a little too opulent, but then again, the main reason department stores go overboard is that the windows are for the children, not the adults. The Printemps displays even have little platforms for the kiddies to stand on, so a lot of it is a show for them. I think for minimalist windows, you’ll need to go to DSM ;-)

    By the way, I’ll be moving to London for a few months starting next week (I guess I’ll see the cheesiness of Selfridges myself). Let me know if you ever want to meet up! :)

  5. Crazy illustrations dear Rosso! Loving the idea, super original! Well, If you want to continue your spanish classes, no he visto The Warriors, es una buena película???
    Un beso!

  6. Una capacità veramente limitata a pochi…questa gradazione di colori è fantastica.Il mix di arte,moda,architettura e cultura è perfettamente raddunato, creando un effetto visivo fantastico!!

  7. sublime… je retiens surtout le final du show Galliano et les images de Romy :)

  8. Quella collezione couture di Valentino più la guardo e più mi convince.. ho delle foto scattate nel backstage… magari te le passo… rendono incredibilmente. Adoro questi colori pastellati ma preferisco la versione spenta nella cenere… quella palette pastellata che rintracciamo spesso in Marni… colori saturi spenti nella nebbia… nel diaccio di una mattina londinese. Per me la fw è tendenzialmente color zucca… adoro questo colore… hai presente i colletti miu miu? Molto candy ma impercettibilmente desaturati col grigio. Love. Per quanto riguarda Pontormo… non potevi scegliere di meglio… io ci avrei accostato anche una tela di Edward Hopper. Ben ritrovata.

  9. girlie … i just pop in to see what’s up??? waiting for your new post :-)) and thank you sooooo much for your words – seriously, i mean it!!! it’s always a great pleasure to words that provoke my thoughts … for that matter, you never fail to achieve that!!!

  19. The color project is just amazing from the selection of image to the selection of colors!!

  20. Love this color fusion! Especially nice to look at during the cold grey of winter that’s approaching. Fabulous collages as always – I love how this palette of colors can create both a drama and softness at the same time…

  21. Je veux passer l’hiver habillée en mode ‘bonbon acidulé et toxique’. La façon dont tu vois les choses est toujours si fascinante et théâtrale. Et Miles, que dire…

    Bisous.
