#Mosaic and #fashion on TV: It's an American Crime Story

image credits

A year has passed since my last post. August is a weird month. It kind of breathes mosaic even when I am not holding any tesserae.

I don't know what you think about Versace's murder being the theme for a TV series but the news is certainly mind-boggling for mosaicistas, fashionistas and everyone in between.

And there you have it. The 2nd season of the anthology series American Crime Story unravels the story of Gianni Versace's shocking murder. Of course, I did a little digging and found out what Versace's partner had to say about the series.

Versace's home (Casa Casaurina, now a hotel) is opulently decorated with mosaics and the series should be a feast for our eyes. We'll wait and see.

10 years ago someone was making a mosaic pattern dress

Guys, this is Gattinoni (he makes amazing handbags) and it's from the year 2004 if I am not mistaken. I got it from BBC News here.

Rihanna's #mosaic bikini version

Have you seen Rihanna wearing this mosaic bikini? Well, if you haven't, I'm telling you it's from 2011. I wonder if she knows about the bikini girls of Piazza Armerina but who cares if she does. Thing is, kudoz to her for choosing faux tiles. You see mosaic NEVER goes OUT of FASHION. Mosaic is posh.

A presto,

Mosaic Spotting: Kikko vest by Bea Valdes

photo credit: couturelab.com

This striking vest - yet another exquisite beaded creation by Bea Valdes - is inspired by the book "The Art of War". Its symmetrical embellishment and right choice of colours are surely reminiscent of Chinese epic films with swords, tea leafs and cunning women walking and shedding that false tear .

Talking of tea, back to some black tea with milk and sugar!

(but how I wish I had some jasmine tea now)

A presto!

Alexander McQueen does it again! (with stained glass)

Introducing the Alexander McQueen Stained Glass Print for Pre Autumn/Winter 2013

This is not the first time that Alexander McQueen draws inspiration from the tile/ceramic world. Remember those out-of-this-world smashed pottery dresses from 2011?

How can you forget this?

Broken tile dress from McQueen / Sarah Burton 2011

A few minutes ago, I saw a preview of the Pre Autumn/Winter 2013 collection and wanted to share some of the most interesting pictures! A collection with a strong stained glass character.

I guess that revolution in the fashion industry requires sticking to some of the very best traditional art forms.

What do you say?

Some amazing jewelery from IMOOI including a mosaic pattern. I love the polished look of these! They might be a bit "industrial" but they are very classy.

Let's talk about men

I know that Winter is "officially" over and this was a Menswear A/W 2013 trend but I had to post this picture!

Look at the tile patterns on the jackets.......

Would you like to see your man wear this?

D&G Mosaic Women vs. Theodora's Court

Year 2013, Milan, Dolce & Gabbana "Tailored mosaic" collection

 

Year 547, Ravenna - Theodora and her court, Byzantium

Is it maybe time for a film on Theodora, Empress of Byzantium? Screenwriters, writers, ghost-writers, producers, directors: Get right on it.

Britney's Sexy sparkling mosaic-like top

Cause we need sexy and - occasionally - need bouncy music.

Fish and Pearls Mosaic Cartier Scarf

I found this scarf on Pinterest from ComoMilano and I'm thinking of a mosaic art on scarves legacy pioneered by Hermes and previously featured on my blog.

This version - from Cartier - shows a new distinct style far away from anything vintage or classical. It's a mix and stir of diverse images for a very edgy, bold result.

Notice how there's no focus on one of the elements (mosaic or fish or pearls) but it's how together they form a unique image that rivals any other similar designer scarf for the improbable combination of sea life on tiles - and not water.

JewelMint Metal Mosaic Ring

Interesting idea of a one-piece mosaic crafted in such a way that it literally blends jewelery making and mosaic art. I'm not sure how long this has been available on jewelmint but it has definetely made an impact on women. Just google metal mosaic ring.
