Imperial Lilies-of-the-Valley Basket by August Wilhelm Holmström for the House of Carl Fabergé | Style Imitating Art

We are shifting from painting to sculpture for this week’s inspiration.

About Style Imitating Art

Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey, Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge, and Marsha of Marsha in the Middle. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. Every other Monday, one of the hosts, acting as presenter, selects an inspiration image that they will each post on their blogs. The following Monday, each host shares her art inspired outfit. Participants are invited to submit their art inspired outfits to the presenter by 10:00 p.m. EST on the Tuesday following the hosts’ art inspired outfit posts. The following day, Wednesday, the presenter will share all of the submissions on her blog.

You don’t have to be a blogger to join either! In fact, you don’t even have to join but you can still use the art to inspire an outfit just for the sake of trying something different. If you want to share your inspired outfit, we invite you do so on Instagram or any other social media platform that you prefer. Just be sure to tag Salazar, Shelbee, or Marsha or use #TeamLOTSStyle and #StyleImitatingArt so the hosts know you have joined. Go have some fun in your closets and join the SIA challenge next week!

This Week’s Presenter

Salazar chose this week’s art inspiration because she wanted to shift from all the paintings that we have been featuring lately. Also, lilies-of-the-valley rank among Salazar’s favorite flowers. Lilies of any type are my favorite flowers and I also have a special fondness for lilies-of-the-valley because they are my birth month flower. I am really excited to learn more about this gorgeous Fabergé piece.

The Artwork

This is such a stunning piece of sculpture. I have no idea how to translate it into an outfit but I am going to give it my best try! If you are up for the challenge and want to join us with your own outfit inspired by the art to be featured in Salazar’s review post on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, please be sure to send your photos to 14shadesofgreyblog@gmail.com by 10:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday,November 19, 2024.

Happy styling! 

Keeping it on the edge, 

Shelbee
