Game Fish by Larry Fuente.

Game Fish.
Two years ago I went on a school art trip to DC, and one of my favorite pieces was from the Smithsonian entitled Game Fish. Game Fish began as a found object—a mounted sailfish trophy. Larry Fuente then applied game-related artifacts—dice, miniature pinball games, poker chips, ping-pong balls, yo-yos, dominoes, and even badminton birdies—to create a flamboyant sculpture that is itself a play on words.

Trina Turk

Inspiration 4: Trina Turk

Designer Trina Turk loves sunglasses, sushi and Audrey Hepburn. In fact, Audrey Hepburn was a big inspiration on Los Angeles-based Turk in the early stages of her career. When creating a collection, this was her rule of thumb: If an item would fit into Hepburn's wardrobe, it would make the cut; if not, it was outta there. The rule worked. She is known for her colorful prints and fun designs. "Prints are fun and express something about a personality. They hold a very West Coast sensibility," the California native says. Her boutiques reflect her design sensibility- fun, playful, a bit retro and bright. In 2009 Trina Turk introduced an indoor/outdoor fabric line for Schumacher. The bright, cheery prints perfectly reflect Trina's clothing line. Trina said, “I always did color and prints in my apparel line and it seemed like a logical progression. Most of the prints we do are graphic and bold so they lend themselves to larger expanses of fabric.”
