Inspiration: Josephine Baker



Shoes by Jeffrey Campbell


The top is a photo of Josephine Baker in one of her most well known outfits - a skirt made of bananas. The bottom video shows footage of one of her most infamous dances called "Danse Sauvage" in which she captured the white man's highly romanticized and convoluted vision of african tribal culture.


A much more satirical approach to Baker's work in The Triplets of Belleville.


Shoes by Charlotte Olympia



Two of my favorite paintings by Henri Matisse. The bottom one is at the MoMA in New York, the colors are so much more brilliant when you see them in person.
