writings on the wall | LA grafitti

did a whirlwind tour of los angeles earlier this week and three things stood out about the city:

1. the traffic. (absolutely horrid)

2. LA girls (a separate post will be dedicated to this topic)

3. the graffiti.

there is a certain sexiness to graffiti. maybe it's the rebellious, creative yet artful nature of it?

or perhaps it's the allure of sudden art spawned by unsung artists. whatever it may be, graffiti-inspired prints have plastered themselves on the runways and shown that their brazen quality translates as well onto textiles as it does abandoned buildings.
