Art vs. Fashion: Castello Sforzesco




Art:  This is a table top I found in the castle.  It was made in 1865.  The table is mostly made of glass and marble.

Fashion:  Marc Jacobs.  Cruise/Resort 2012.  This collection is filled with pieces that have a lot of movement and it seems as if Marc Jacobs was inspired by floral patterns.  Most of the pieces have patterns whether it is a form of flower or a polka dot, it is very fun and exciting.


Interpretation:  I immediately saw a connection between the table top and this dress.  The pattern on the dress seems very similar to the pattern in between the circles on the table.  Also both pieces are perfectly symmetrical.  The dress has a pattern in-between the lines on the side and the table has its pattern in-between the circles.  Its possible Marc Jacobs' inspiration came from the late 1800's when this pattern was much more popular.
