Inspiration For August 2013 part 1 - Petra Collins
Petra Collins
Kitschy, 90's, interesting and mismatching. I'm in love with all the patterns and textures of photographer Petra Collins' work. It's the innocent appearance with a twist of dark- a feeling that's difficult to place a finger on. It's like Virgin Suicides meets Clueless. I love the feeling of a storyline in these photographs, but mostly I love the fashion inspiration.

I dont know what it is about stickers on a girl's face. It's weird and kitschy, but I love how playful it is and how it ads another layer to a photo.
Here's some more photos with a similar that I feel fit this theme (not Petra Collins photos):
So how do you get this look without a grainy camera effect?
- lots of glitter
- stickers stickers stickers (go crazy)
- puffy fur party coats
- anything pink
- anything plaid
- turtlenecks
- oddly shaped sunglasses
- some bubblegum
-tiaras
- tacky patterns
TIP: treat it like you're 6 years old and trying on everything in your dressup box- the tackier, the better
