Charlotte Taylor's Organic Kaleidoscopes





Charlotte Taylor’s been a blogsphere favorite for a while now, circulating boards on Pinterest, SVPPLY, Tumblr, WordPress and Blogger with exceedingly positive commentary. Adding more beauty, weight and elegance to the clothing, her Spring/Summer ’12 video, directed by Ben Taylor, reveals a sophistication inspired by Japanese moods. What’s your favorite pairing? I’m enamored with her red lips and green blouse.

Enjoy.

Relaying this concept through animated gifs, Mauro De Donatis’s Glitched Helvetica breathes life and motion into this concept.

 

Laughter Sounds the Same in Every Language
