Nature Inspired Fashions

With all this Hurricane Irene talk, I felt inspired to do a post on hurricane inspired collections. Designers, apparently, have never had an inspiration that has come from a hurricane itself, so I am coming up with the next best thing here, give me a break ;) It’s no surprise that nature influences a number of high-profile fashion and jewelry designers; the environment and haute couture have a number of parallels.

Here are some of my favorite nature-inspired fashion (hey, a hurricane is a natural thing). Do you see where the inspirations of the designers below came from?
