“On the Way” by Hao Ping | Style Imitating Art

Another week, another round of artwork to inspire your style.

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

It was Salazar’s turn to choose our art inspiration. After her very recent visit to Yunnan, China, she decided to choose a work by Hao Ping, an artist from Yunnan. He is “a printmaker who is considered one of the figureheads of the Yunnan Art School. His works really capture the colors and vibrancy of the people and the place”, so it was challenging for Salazar to choose just one print. She ultimately settled on this piece “because the colors are more subtle but still vibrant, plus, there’s a yak!”

The Artwork

“On the Way” by Hao Ping

I am really drawn to both the rich colors and the beautiful imagery of this print. Like Salazar, I also am a fan of yaks! I look forward to seeing what kind of sartorial inspiration this image stirs up for you all.

If you are feeling inspired to create your own outfit inspired by Hao Ping’s “On the Way” and you want to be featured in Salazar’s review post on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, please be sure to submit your photos to 14shadesofgreyblog@gmail.com by 10:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, July 30, 2024.

Happy styling! 

Keeping it on the edge,
