Stripes

This summer, D and I saw the Jean-Paul Gaultier show at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Who’s not sporting striped shirts now? Whether you’re a fashionista like Olivia Palermo or an avant-garde artist like Andy Warhol, you’ve rocked stripes. Don’t have any in your closet? Get shopping!

1. Stripes galore at H&M / 2. Zara / 3. Coach / 4. Dior Velvet Eyes, I’m simply dying to try this / 5. Chanel / 6. Lauren Elan
On a side note, a newspaper article was left on my desk regarding purchasing art as an investment. At a recent auction a few weeks ago, the Canadian art world was taken aback when Jean-Paul Lemieux’s 1910 Remembered broke records by fetching a staggering 2.34 million dollars… guess why? Oh, I suspect it’s because striped shirts are just that cool.  
Under his white jacket... stripes!

  1. Thanks for the shout out! The Jean-Paul Gaultier exhibit AND stripes are both awesome! (I'm pretty sure I own that H&M shirt, btw)

  2. Hadn't thought of the stripes as a deciding factor! You are ABSOLUTELY right. Definitely worth 2.34 million!
