takeshi murata

It’s summer, and I’m eager to take a weird trip with out of the box prints, holographic metallics, decadent jewels, and accessories that are a bit surreal… Psychedelic inspiration is easy to find in trippy colors, off-beat works of art, and especially in vintage imagery — the summer of love can provide endless ideas, perfect for summer festivals, or every day demonstrations of peace and love. See below for some great inspiration and clothing and accessories that you can shop now to get the perfect psychedelic look.

Inspiration

Paisley printed top from Gucci Cruise 2014

Johnathan Zawada

Mariljke Koger-Dunham

‘Melting’, Nick Knight

Vogue Hommes International S/S 2006 Kate Moss by Bruce Weber

Style Scrapbook:
