The Water's Fall

A conversation with my little sister triggered an interesting thought- while filling out those good ol' 'about me' books you get for Christmas, the question of 'what couldn't' you live without' cropped up. She jokingly replied with 'water' and although obvious, it's interesting to think that water hasn't really been payed the attention it is due when it comes to fashion and the arts. It might not look as if something which deserves much glory, but why have so little people touched on how essential it is for the world? You could argue that water never seems to be out of the spotlight, whether this be an aqua inspired minimalist collection, or the many garments adorned with the oceans occupants (just look at last summer's marine life trend). And that's all fine and dandy, but it's surprising that not many people have really thought about how important water is and translated it into a beautiful piece of work. It is not just the fluid that runs from our taps and what we bottle up. It also serves to make beautiful, grand, natural wonders like waterfalls. Oh and it keeps us alive too. So how about a nice voluptuous ruffle to celebrate its importance and grandeur? Maybe a big, show stopping, thought provoking piece?  This is definitely an area which needs some creative heads. And I will be doing some further research on creatives who have celebrated water in the past.
