on the rocks

Opening Ceremony is easily one of my favorite shops in Los Angeles. One of the reasons being that I am always introduced to new and obscure designers that quickly become amongst the ranks of my favorites. Recently Heimstone has captured my interest with prints that remind me of the veins in granite or earthly erosion in satellite photos. I love beauty that can be found in nature. The color palette used in these Heimstone prints look very natural, as though taken from a slab of granite.

The jumper with its aqua and clay hues remind me of a beach in Taiwan I visited with relatives as a child. I remember pretending that I was on Mars-like planet because it looked like a scene from a science fiction movie. There were huge reddish rocks that had been eroded by the sea and resembled coral formations. The teal of the Pacific Ocean mixing with veins of clay-like sand on the shore. This post is inspiring me to go look at more satellite images. I'm off to marvel in the beauty of our planet Earth and hats off to Heimstone for creating a wearable version!
