11 Comparisons Between The Runway And Classic Works Of Art
Blu Cavall

A lot of times fashion is inspired by — and is — art. While discovering and researching different designers and their collections, it's not hard to see the subtle hints of past artwork in their designs. From Dolce & Gabbana to Mondrian, here are 11 comparisons.

1. Armani and O'Keeffe.

Subtle blues, with a similar "V" shape.

2. Zuhair Murad and a Greek Depiction of Aphrodite (artist unknown).

Slim and pale, with a feminine form.

3. Edun and Mondrian


Geometric due to the grid-like pattern, with a splash of yellow.

4. Anna Sui and Rousseau

Exotic--the animal fur mimics the crouching tiger. Both her skirt and the painting contain orange fruit amidst a green backdrop.

5. Greta Gram and Martin Johnson Heade

A bold pink centerpiece with sharp angles sticks out.

6. Altuzarra and Picasso

Exploring and utilizing the different shades of blue. High cheekbones and similar lips.

7. Holly Fulton and Miro

The eye shape dominates both outfit and painting.

8. Aouadi and Henry Courtney Selous



Ruffled, light, and airy. Frilly with baby pink.

9. Delpozo and Diego Rivera



Bold yellow steals the show in both. However, red and blue accents are present in both.

10. Carla Zimpatti and Hokusai



Large, sweeping arcs. Royal blue encircled by white.

11. Dolce and Gabbana and Galerie d'Apollon

Everything is embellished in gold, lending to a very finished and baroque look.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
