Black & White

April 16, 2007 by Michelle Leave a Comment

Although the black and white trend seems to be prevalent in fashion right now, at least in my locale, the graphic beauty of its contrast is always in style. The painting above is Elegy to the Spanish Republic No. 71 by Motherwell. This was painted in the 1950s, and it is still just as compelling today.

I’ve also been looking a lot at what I refer to as “Plantation Style”, which I will probably discuss in a future post. Hemingway, of course crops up a lot in any reference to that sort of tropical British Colonial style. When I came across this photo on The Nest, I fell in love. I love the dark wood and zebra rug, but the pairing they’ve made with the lavender walls is really interesting. Hemingway’s African adventures are drawn to mind with the rug too. I like the use of the black and white photos as well.


Another newer trend I’ve seen in interiors would be this Murano glass chandelier found here. I love the Gothic look of it. Just an amazingly dramatic piece. And Murano glass is magnificent in any color.

I won’t spend time picking out specific clothing examples of the black and white trend, as you can see them anywhere. But, here are two beautiful examples of accessories.

The Kate Spade Hugo Poppy Griffen tote has a bold graphic look. It would be perfect for toting around books or something not-too-personal as the clear pvc might give your secrets away! The bag comes with a variety of piping colors, this one being Snow.

And finally, this beautiful bracelet by Jessica Kagan Cushman. She uses the ancient tradition of scrimshaw to create these pieces with sayings and quotes. The script lettering gives it a daintier look, but the use of black and white really makes it striking.

Fifteen years. Happy anniversary, my love. ♥️ Fifteen years.  Happy anniversary, my love. ♥️

You cannot possess me for I belong to myself.  But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give.
 
You cannot command me, for I am a free person.  But I shall serve you in those ways you require and the honeycomb will taste sweeter coming from my hand.
 
I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry aloud in the night and the eyes into which I smile in the morning.
 
I pledge to you the first bite of my meat and the first drink from my cup.
 
I pledge to you my living and dying, each equally in your care.
 
I shall be a shield for your back and you for mine.
 
I shall not slander you, nor you me.
 
I shall honor you above all others, and when we quarrel, we shall do so in private and tell no strangers our grievances.
 
This is my wedding vow to you.
 
This is the marriage of equals.
