Art vs. Fashion #3

This week we have another art vs. fashion due. We have to compare the beautiful side streets and a motif on either a lamp post or a doorway, window trim, to a piece of jewelry for fall/winter 2013/2014. 

Bottega Veneta, Via Degli Strozzi 6 Nero, Florence, Italy

Deborah Pagani, bracelet, Fall 2013

The steel window overlay above the Bottega Veneta sign has a intricate spoke design. That same spoke design is seen on the side view of the Pagani bracelet. If the design above the door was repeated next to each other it would make the same scalloped pattern that is mimicked on the bracelet. A motif is a repeated figure or design in architecture. The steel window design was repeated on every window and doorway of the Bottega Veneta store. Therefore it matches the repeated design on each half circle part of the bracelet. Fashion can come from anywhere, not only are clothes represented by art and architecture, but accessories and jewelry are as well.
