Are you ready to really witness reLYME geeking out? OK, then. You asked for it:
I love art, I love fashion. So, when both come together in an exquisite way, well, let's just say this girl is well pleased. A friend of mine introduced me to the art of Isabel and Ruben Toledo a few years back. My life was forever changed. And though I have yet to acquire authentic Toledo artwork of my own, I am still very much a fan.
Now, a former Literature major, there is NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING that makes my heart jump quite like the sight of classic literature novel. Quite honestly. Ask my boyfriend, who has accompanied me to many a squealing trips to Strand.
So, when art, fashion, and literature meet, my friends, I'm absolutely kvelling! Toledo's latest project, combining his lovely illustrations with the covers of classic novels, is coming to bookstores on August 25.
The works of Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice), Emily Brontë (Wuthering Heights), and Nathaniel Hawthore (The Scarlet Letter) are being redesigned, and will retail for $16. And you know I'll own all three!
