Parsons Challenge

I'm applying to Parsons so I have to complete the challenge.  They tell you to explore something in your community and do three projects having to do with one aspect.  I decided to focus on how nature eventually fades into something manmade and how everything beautiful is disappearing to industrialism.
Here is the video I'm in the process of making:

Seinfeld

Last night, I was watching an episode of Seinfeld, when I noticed that Kramer was wearing a banana print shirt.  It reminded me of the "aloha" shirt from Prada Spring 11 line that has been seen on the likes of Bryanboy and many other bloggers.  As I was then searching for a picture, I came across a vintage Dolce & Gabbana banana shirt as well.  It's so interesting to me that clothing can be inspired by a piece of fruit.

Marc Jacobs is an absolute genius.  The white carousel horses, the intricate collar work, the underlying details beneath chiffon, and even the metallic silver shoes with the color-blocked straps and heels. Marc Jacobs is one of my favorite designers for a large fashion house, he knows exactly what he is doing and what he wants.  He likes classic pieces and it shows through his use of collars, big buttons, coats, and A-line skirts.  He is one of the most influential designers of the time and I am in love with this collection.  I want just about every piece in this line.
