Alexander McQueen Fall RTW 2011 and Sara Burton's "broken pottery" garments

 I am positive that more people will appreciate mosaic art after seeing this. Textiles made of smashed pottery, a mosaic technique often practiced today.

Read Vogue Review to find out more about the collection and the inspiration behind this and other pieces.

For more mosaic with broken tiles and china, you can check older posts on this blog Eco park garden, and mosaic e cards and in the meantime I am attaching some new images.

What do you think? Is there something you particularly like, prefer or even reject and dislike?

  2. Η μόδα και η τέχνη έχουν πολλά κοινά!
    Τα ρούχα Alexander McQueen είναι μοναδικά στο είδος τους!
    Αντίστοιχα θαυμάζω και την ελληνίδα Mary Katrantzou, οι δημιουργίες της και τα υφάσματα της είναι πραγματικά έργα τέχνης!
    Πιστεύω εσύ με τις γνώσεις μπορείς να το αναγνωρίσεις και να το ερμηνεύσεις καλύτερα!
    Υπέροχη η ανάρτηση σου!

  5. That outdoor table is so charming! It's always been dream of mine to have a little wrought-iron outdoor set with a table top like that.

  8. Love that mosaic tiara... I am seriously wanting it right now. I have a serious weakness for tiaras. Gorgeous site.

  9. Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ για την σημερινή σου επίσκεψη και το όμορφο σχόλιο . Πάντα περνώ και βλέπω τις αναρτήσεις σου με τα υπέροχα μωσαικά έργα τέχνης αλλά για κάποιο περίεργο τρόπο δυσκολεύομαι να αφήσω μήνυμα , για αυτήν την ανάρτηση σου έχω ξαναγράψει και όπως παρατηρώ σήμερα χάθηκε , πολύ παράξενο !!!
    Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο να έχεις !!!

  10. I am glad you all loved this! Broken tiles can easily be labeled as "shabby", cheap solution for mosaic art but if used with sophistication, planning and passion they can be transformed into a true work of art!

    Little Augury, I think you should go for it (re: what we said on your blog)

    Katy, Ada, TK, Erica, Rhonya thanks for visiting! I am happy to see new people on Mosaicology.
