Fashion has always found inspiration in unpredictable sources: art, life, history—there are no boundaries. In this spirit, the American Folk Art Museum explores the relationship between inspiration and creation. Thirteen established and emerging designers have created original ensembles inspired by artwork in the museum’s collection.
Bibhu Mohapatra
Bibhu was inspired for folk couture by a small tattoo book which was based in the late nineteenth,early twentieth century,he says.. . “The tattoo book basically is the only sort of interaction he has in the sea, which is a big vast wall of emptiness and solitude. . . . As a result, this woman appears who is a sort of loved one but also part of his reality, this vast body of water.”
