Art vs. Fashion:

Art:  I found this pattern on the side of Palazzo Reale.  It's just a piece of the wall you can find in the entry way of the building.

Fashion:  Jenny Lee.  Bridal Spring/Summer 2012.  This particular collection appears to be inspired by romantic details such as flowers, ruffles, and lace.

Interpretation: You can clearly see the similarities between the beading on this wedding dress and the stone from the wall.  Both have leaves and make almost the same pattern.  The inspiration from this collection was drawn from romantic details and flowers, and leafy designs such as this wall may have been a factor as well.
