New Obsession

These last couple of weeks I have been, literally, obsessed with all things Mexican.  I have been watching 'breaking bad', planning a trip to Mexico, and even have been restoring furniture with Mexican detailing!  There are so many sources of influence, I predict it will snow-ball for me into the summer.  This thought is particularly exciting for me as I had very much been intrenched in a minimalist, monocromatic aesthetic in my clothing and decor choices for the last couple of years!

Mara Hoffman had one of the most colorful collections to hit the Spring/Summer 2012 runway at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York with a definite Mexican influence.

Frida Kahlo has been a big artistic influence since I read about her in year 7 art class.

Festival of the Dead - All the colour! All the symbolism! Beauty! I hope I can one day experience this first hand.

This is a still from Breaking Bad, a couple of seasons ago. It is one of my favourite scenes.  I tried to find a still of a Mexican inspired tattoo on one of the main characters, Jesse's, back but couldn't.  I have, however, bought a Mexican students native art colouring in book online!!! More to come, I am sure!
