Jungle Fever





Versace for H&M campaign // Henri Rousseau, Combat of a Tiger and a Buffalo, 1908-9

Both Versace and Rousseau are artists that I've never personally enjoyed. Versace's fashion is a little too over the top for my personal style while Rousseau's art has always been strange, shallow, and somewhat amateur looking to me. Despite this when I when I saw what Versace was doing for H&M I was immediately reminded of Rousseau's jungle landscapes.
