“Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.”

Recently i was told that to be a good fashion/textile designer you need to be a "Culture Vulture" a Sid vicious quote  which means a person who is very interested in art to an obsessive degree. I as also told that all designers need to be culture vulture because it keeps your fingers on the pulse of culture! 

Ever since being informed of the Phrase "Culture Vulture" it has seemed to open my eye to  new things, its like i'm seeing things different now for the first time.

 For example, this morning I was just on a walk, when I looked up and saw this absolutely stunning view of a church,  which I was immediately  inspired by: I had to stop for a second to take in what I was seeing. I was mainly take a-back by the beautiful detail of the pillars, it really reminded me of picture I took around london of the architecture. 

The front of the church, i thought it looked beautiful
with the roses and the tree half covering it.

I had to capture the moment

Getting inspired by this made me realize that I have quite the passion for british architecture , especially churches, and old arch ways. This is something that can be linked to fashion rather easily by taking the shapes, lines and structures I see in these building and incorporating them into my designs.
Below are the picture I took when I went to London, these are also building that inspired me by the sheer beauty of them.

Arch way, i love the floral pattern!

Zoomed in view, showing the pattern

On a door of a building, i love the criss-cross leaf pattern around the edge

I thought this was so stunning when i saw it for the first time
it reminded me of the Greek gods and goddesses 

I could defiantly see  that pattern around the edge of the door
on a dress as a repeated pattern or on the hem, that would look amazing!
