Impressionism





The springtime of youth demands so many things: a deep desire of lust, a sweltering feeling of belonging, but most importantly, our vitality depends on our appearance. Luckily, if you have been feeling a bit 'grunged' out lately, there is a trend kickin in.

Just like rebels of their time, Paris-based artists reverted to a more instinctual painting form of expression, including free brush strokes, vivid colors as well as the avoidance of black. Take this into account when developing your next spring getup...here are some inspirational ensembles that will make an atmospheric shift to reflect the butterflies and the floating pollen.
