Old/New fashion

Everything seemingly fresh might be  incredibly old. Well not old, but already presented in the past.  We know in fashion world everything is recyclable and invented already, but this clever blog shows it clearly. Part Nouveau is a blog hold by a graduate student of fashion history, Lilah Ramzi, and in her own words: "The blog seeks to aid our contemporary eyes, so used to being presented with the newest and latest within the creative world, to recognize and give credit to what has come before."

Art and fashion go hand in hand and sometimes there is a great homage to the original creation and in other moments it might pass to be a plagiation...the line depends many times of the honesty of the creator.

Following few examples are from the blog "Part Nouveau" and there are plenty of more comparisons, so pls have a visit on her blog; it is so interesting!
