Angela Missoni, a top fashion designer in the default world, debuted her 2010 Spring/Summer line to great fanfare at fashion week in Milan. While her creations shimmered up and down the runway, Missoni dropped a bold 
hint at a main source of inspiriation: her daughter’s attendance of Burning Man. (Telegraph Article Here)
But it seems some of the world’s other top designers are taking their inspiration from playa-riffic sources as well! Scope these snapshots from the recent fashion weeks in London, Paris, and New York.
Christophe Decarnin of the Balmain label designed the fashions shown on the left and right of these words. They are dubbed “military” by the default fashion world but seem to be more a very sexy take on Steampunk mixed with a little post-apocalyptic desert organica. It’s easy to imagine a Black Rock Citizen rocking either of these on Playa. Some playa dust might get these models smiling too!
Of course we’re not implying that these fashion designers are “stealing” designs from off the playa. That wouldn’t be nearly so thrilling as the truth of it: that there are beautiful similarities emerging between what is considered avant-garde at the heights of default world fashion and what has always constituted beauty in our own dusty couture community.
There is a paradigm shift occurring and the particulars of who did what or took inspiration from whom are losing significance, giving way to the beauty of synergistic and spontaneous combustions of human creativity without judgment or the need for credit. That’s what this site is all about! Sharing ONLY the intention to inspire and provide helpful tools that will assist you in manifesting the fashion experience you choose to create for yourself and others with no judgment or concept of authority.
The fact that we arrived at the idea for this blog just days before this story broke is a great example of the metaphysical mechanics at play. A nod in our direction from the global fashion industry verifies that we are not alone in feeling this shift.
