Beautiful Decay.


I came across this decaying ceiling while trekking through the subway...

I find it so beautiful how nature can take as mundane an object as a ceiling and turn it into something so beautiful. While age is something we quite often despise and try to avoid, in many cases age itself is the reason an object holds such beauty. Do you think antiques would hold as much beauty if they held no age?

Even more interesting is our human obsession with timeless pieces! What makes a garment timeless? We as designers often seek to create timeless designs yet at the same time hold an even higher awe for things that are precisely the opposite, dated. 

Time is such an interesting component of design. I wonder how I can apply time to my clothing designs?
