On the Street.....Abstract Inspiration, Milano

I talked about "abstract inspiration" in my book and this photo, I took recently in Milan, is perfect example of this idea.

Sometimes I think the readers of this blog take the images too literally as my suggestion of what you should wear or what I think is super fashionable. To be honest, I'm not sure I actually like anything she is wearing. However this image, as a concept, makes me think... but in the abstract.

Most of the designers I know work this way. They might look at a shot like this and think "uhm....matching hat and coat...uhm interesting, but I wouldn't do the matching with color but maybe a print instead." Or, maybe it makes them think about the contrast of a soft, floppy hat paired with a super tailored, structured coat.

To me, this image is in the same vein as the image below of the old Italian gentleman, with the hat and coat that are both patterned. I don't know if anyone would run out and try to copy this look exactly, but it inspires us in an intangible way.


If you remember this photo was one of the images on Lucas Ossendrijver's, Lanvin Homme, mood board when the The Selby shot his design studio.

All I'm saying is, sometimes, these images can make you think about something totally different than what the actual shot portrays.

Anonymous Kazuko said ... (8:41 AM) : 

hm, actually i don't think that your readers take your images as a kind of style advisor. Many comments show that. Of course, sometimes it's all about what people in your images wear, because most of them are indeed very stylish and fashionable. but i'm sure that most of your readers do get that it's about the whole concept of the image and not about a hat, bag, coat or colour.

 

Blogger Stephen said ... (8:41 AM) : 

Scott, completely see where you're coming from and agree with you.

Seeing a particularly image might not provide direct inspiration when thinking about what to wear and how to dress in the future but can set off a kind of 'chain reaction', I think.

In fact, it's probably where most people's inspiration comes from. I guess it boils down to always keeping your eyes open, approach what you see with an open mind, and deconstruct and reconstruct it as one sees fit?

Ah, the wonders of human imagination.

PS,

I quite like the old Italian gent's coat, jacket, and hat patterns.

Dear Sart,
my attitude to your photos is to use them. I use them to satisfy my natural "visually greed" (quoting you). I use your blog to open my mind on the world and on the difference between people. Because not all the people are equal, fortunately!
Thanks for it.

Blogger davidikus said ... (9:42 AM) : 

That is a very good post, because it confirms to me the point of streetstyle blogs. I was first enthusiastic about them, then surprised by the number of them (& the poor quality of many). I also tend to think many have lost the plot, what with their heavy focus on celebrity spotting. (I really don't care what the Olsen sisters were wearing, even at a Lanvin show).

The sheer number of people on the planet, all wearing different outfits, means that there will be loads of good ideas floating around. It does not mean they will turn into a good outfit or a good design, but it's nice to see them for inspiration. (On my own blog, http://davidikus.blogspot.com/, what I try to do is to get design/image inspiration from random things in my life - it can be a bin, a phonebooth, trash, lamp posts. It's not only about the concept because I want my image to be interesting but the idea of mixing shapes, patterns etc. is almost the same.)

Thanks for a very good post, which shows while your blog is miles ahead of many of its copycats!

Anonymous Carolina said ... (9:57 AM) : 

I totally agree. I read this blog not because I love certain clothes (if I would, probably I couldn't afford them) but because of the style, the inspiration... Many times, it's the whole image, the combination of different elements, the hair, the way the person stands in front of the camera...

When you become a teenager you begin to worry about your beauty and attractiveness, and I always remember my father telling me not to get obsessed with my nose, my hair, my breast… but to try to look at myself as a whole image!

The trick might be on finding those little details which make the whole image different and stylish.

 

Anonymous Neha said ... (10:08 AM) : 

I am liking your text-based posts...taking the blog to the next level.

I feel like you are hitting on exactly what so many fashion aspirants miss--they get caught up in the individual items and not the big picture. They see the image for what it is, not for what it says or the feeling it conjures. Beyond "it" bags and shoes, I regularly see people covet everyday items in uninspired ways, as if buying a Saint James shirt because you have the money is a ticket to chicness.

 

Blogger SabinePsynopsis said ... (10:08 AM) : 

The abstract inspiration is certainly way more interesting than a finished look. My questions mostly circle around more abstract themes, e.g. a colour or a certain shape. Actually, I don't even think I wear most outfits the way I show them on my blog - it's about the ideas, more than anything else.

 

Blogger @nnoushka said ... (10:11 AM) : 

I totally agree with you, always thought your pictures were a "source d'inspiration"....I also love the idea that everywhere in the world people are expressing themselves with clothes, and inspiring us too!

This post encompasses the reason I subscribed to your blog.

I'm a costumer and a budding fashion designer, and, in looking for inspiration, I happened upon you. I've been saving your pictures in a stash as inspiration both for the looks I create and in creating my own personal sense of style.

Thanks for providing me a stepping stone.

Anonymous Mariona said ... (10:26 AM) : 

Honestly, I do not think everybody does a copy-paste-wear show us the looks. They are interpretations of what you consider your own trend or not, beauty, rarity, attitude, knowledge to be ... When contemplating your bums, I could get through his eyes, his gestures, his attitude, a way through life, a story hidden or not, beauty, life ... although I value in each generation look different attitudes life, fashion, its ironies and contradictions.
Anything can be inspiring ... my honest opinion
Sorry for the English translation.

I agree with you.Often an image brings you to an idea and this one to another one and this to another until you arrive to news and interestings thoughts that could be far from the original image or picture.That is the important and significant:the result ...that can be also a first sped to new ways.

Blogger Jeannie said ... (10:36 AM) : 

i totally agree -
I can understand how some visitors may use these images more literally than creative inspiration. Which is totally viable and a great way to cultivate ones own style.
however, many others also visit to experience a concept, a feeling or a mood in order to inspire their own expression, whatever that may be.

i appreciate you trying to explain that to everyone - but maybe you don't even need to...

Blogger Meg said ... (11:22 AM) : 

That is why humans are such interesting creatures to view, we perceive and bring our own perspectives into the image and take what motivates us to a new level.

Where many blogs of late focus on street style, and with that the breaking down of the photo into components, your images are framed so as to take a snippet, a moment, and the brain reads as such, definitely about the art/photography than the subject in most cases.

match-ups! Keep up the good work...

 

Blogger Kathleen said ... (2:14 PM) : 

This is very interesting Scott. Funny, but when I look at both of these photographs I find them oddly comforting. Let me explain.

Since I am an artist myself, certain things create order for me. Artistic order, order in my thinking as an artist, i.e. how I appreciate art. Color and pattern are definitely way up there.

Both the striking color of the woman's hat and coat, paired with the boots and purse that are somehow out of place yet still they work, and the gentleman with the matching hat and coat and everything else tonally perfect is to me the way things should work. In balance, but slightly out of balance. Am I making sense here?

For instance; when I look at the photograph of the women, her boots and purse are what I see first rather than the hat and coat matching, and when I look at the photograph of the gentleman, his camels hair coat is what I see first rather than his matching coat and hat.

There, I've said it. Abstract is right, and I like it!

With the older Italian gentleman photo, it's also the inner trench's Burberry plaid that adds to the combo of the patterned hat and the patterned sportscoat! That's some very powerful effect that really captures attention, the trinity effect of plaid ha

Anonymous MY STYLE ADVICE said ... (3:25 PM) : 

fashion is art. if anyone can understand that, then they can understand why some outfits are purely there for us to look and drool at - or to make us think and ponder about color, shapes, texture, etc.

The fashion that is "unwearable" in "real life" should make you take a 2nd look, but should it always be worn? No way, that would take away from the beauty of it!

On another note, i definitely love the girl in purple. I think, without THAT HAT, it would not have EVEN CLOSE to the same effect that this picture has, agreed. I also love the color combo.

I rarely wear dark shades of purple, b/c its such a heavy color. (although this is somewhat of a fuchsia) I have a gorgeous purple blouse i wear in the summer; paired with white linen pants, its perfection! Not heavy at all, but refreshing.

Oh, and i think the man in the hat looks fantastic. i wish men in America dressed up more.

As a designer I can understand and appreciate your feelings on abstract inspiration. When I look for inspiration from photos/images I design from my reaction to it. Sometimes it could be the mood, a feeling, colors, textures, tones, contrasts, shapes, figures, etc.

Chervelle Camille, I do believe that Scott was not the first to relay that quote. My great grandmother passed it onto me many years ago. It was quoted from Armani, I think.

thank you for talking about abstract inspiration. recently i think you also referred to "visual greed" in a similar way. i am always curious to see the comments of fellow posters but am often disappointed when i read comments such as, "She should have worn a different shoe," or "the length of the coat is all wrong." i feel these people are missing the point. as i understand it, the photos you post are merely starting off points - bits of inspiration which the viewer can take any (or no) part of- and not fodder for fashion critique.

Blogger Carol said ... (4:41 PM) : 

I love what you said here and completely understand your intentions for the blog. However, I must admit that the masterful shots you take of these people, and their various attitudes and charisma, make me want to be wearing 99% of these looks as-is in the moment I'm looking at them for the first time. Only after that initial burst of visual pleasure has subsided can I pick them apart, or think about them as a jumping-off point, or do anything except gaze at them with an envious little leap of my heart. Well done!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:02 PM) : 

I believe that is what separates you as an artist. You see subtle suggestions, they inspire you to think. It doesn't require much thought to buy clothes "off a rack" as you say, but then again, as Oscar Wilde once said,"Life imitates art".
