The history behind the color OCHRE

When the ochre mineral was found in England, it became very important prat of the fishing industry. The purpose was to protect the canvas from seaweater, not picturesque.

One of the French Revolution’s most controversial figures – Marie Antoinette is the subject of much speculation and controversy to this day – 220 years after her death. Here at Holzweiler we are intrigued by this mysterious figure whom some blame for the fall of the House of Bourbon and others label as a mere victim of her times. Despite all of the drama and intrigue surrounding her name, there is no doubt Marie Antoinette was a style and fashion leader and her creativity was years ahead of her contemporaries.

Ochre was a popular coloring in France during the time of the French Empire, and many French citizens living in foreign colonies would import a great deal of ochre clay from France to make their new lands feel like home. As a result, after the period of French colonization ended, ochre became associated with repression and fell out of favor. With the advent of synthetic dyes, ochre mining nearly stopped altogether. Recently, however, natural ochre paint has seen something of a comeback as an upscale house paint option, and this season also in fashion!

La Gazette

Bill Cunningham is one of the first influential photographer that shot street fashion pictures of a passing scene in the streets of Manhattan. He have x rolls of unpublished pictures dated all the way back to the 1940's of New York's streets... I would love to see! He is famous for taking "candid" pictures. 

Candid = "A candid photograph is a photograph that is made either without the subject's knowledge or without their explicit permission, hence they are captured unposed."

Many photographer develop candid photography into an art form. I was amazed by this word and eager to learn what it meant. It means simply pictures captured living an event, or a moment.

Bill Cunningham rode on his bike in the streets, snapping pics all day long. Always in a blue jacket.

Funny enough you can feel the trend colors of the season in this picture of Bill Cunningham.

Another new breed of candid photographer that influents the new generation is Tommy Ton. Its all  about the world of fashion and its relationship to daily life. 

We can relate to and be inspired by real people wearing clothes creatively, more so than to the unattainable images in most fashion magazines. 

As I started reasearching Tommy Ton, I fond theese tweed race pictures, taken a couple of days ago: 

It was a Tweed Race in Tokyo the 24th of october, I must say they even got style biking!
