Subway Street Fashion

As I was looking at the Givenchy Resort 2013 collection for color and design inspiration, I felt like I had seen the patterns and color somewhere before, but where? Then I remembered. I photographed a mosaic wall at the Damen St train station while visiting Chicago this past summer. The glass mosaic, "Vida Simple" by local artist Juan Chavez, had the same feeling as the runway collection. Ethnic, modern and street in influence, the bold imagery and edgy color-blocking of both connect the two  together.  For more info on the artist: http://juanangelchavez.com/artwork.php
