Weekly inspiration #3

A big fascination of mine has always been colour. But in particular colour combination. It has always amazed me to watch really talented stylists and designers work with subtle colour pallets that ooze of a deep understanding of the essence and impact of colour. Emotion can be evoqued and statements can be made. Styling can be rude and simplistic but then again it can be subtle and complex. To see a stylist who connects to the material and who can tell a visual story with  fingertip precision, can be truly captivating. 

My editorial inspiration is photographed by Horst Diekgerdes for Numéro, together with stylist Samuel François.

To this I have chosen as master of subtleties Bon Iver with Wolves. They have the ability to capture the dynamics of emotions, through harmonies that are slightly disconant, and therefore imperfect seperately, but they come together to express something so clear in its simplicity that it becomes inescapably intimate. 

Lots of love /Kim

Weekly inspiration #2

One of the insapirations that has accompanied me now for more than 5 years is the movie Fallen Angels by Wong Kar-wai (1995). I dont remember much about the movie but there are these fragments that keep on coming back and have a strong impact on my imagination.

Here one little episode of the movie. (She makes me want to die)

The darkness of the light in the movie was a clear inspiration for the shooting Fallen Angel, as well as the titel.

The other thing that is a constant inspiration for me is the different types of light. Sometimes i can stand there for houers just contemplaiting light, almost crying because of its beauty. Here a picture taken by Nick Zantop showing one type of light i like a lot at the moment.
