A Look Back at the Most Surprising Points of Inspiration from Fashion Month
Throughout history, the nebulous force that is fashion has been under a microscope, with its followers continuously questioning and attempting to define the illusive force that causes one thing to be in or out of vogue. As immortalized by Heidi Klum: "One day you're in and the next you're out." Not unlike art, when being presented with fashion, viewers are reluctant to absentmindedly accept without explanation; thus the question at the top of every fashion journalist's list is, "Where did you get your inspiration?"
With every new collection comes a fresh slew of movies, eras, and art that has aided in the fashion designer's creative process and we have graciously identified a few of them here for you. So skip the hours spent reading show reviews and click-through for this Fashion Month Spring 2014 recap.
