Crayon fashion

“Jungle Green” by Parker

Bloomingdales commissioned for Spring 2015 some unusual outfits for their window display. Designers made brilliantly bright and inventive clothes out of Crayola crayons. Designers such as Nanette Lepore, Rebecca Taylor, Clover Canyon, Rebecca Minkoff, Torn by Ronny Kobo and Parker.

“Unmellow Yellow” by Nanette Lepore

As you would expect with with such a medium, these dresses have a kind of 1960s structure, Torn by Ronny Kobo's dress has a Punk edge but Clover Canyon's design is quite sophisticated and Parker manages to add a little bit of softness by using the wrappers.

“Mountain Meadow” by Clover Canyon 

I love great window design, a chance to take a minute and pause, appreciate and be inspired. You can read more at This is Colossal. Photographed by Matthew Carasella.
