SIA: London Underground

Welcome to another week of SIA! This week, our inspiration is the 1924 posters for the London Underground by illustrator Austin Cooper, and we have a lot of diverse interpretations, so let’s get to them!

First up is my co-host, Shelbee, who chose gingham and color-blocking to reflect the posters. I must admit, gingham is a brilliant idea – I have tons of gingham things and didn’t even think of them!

Up next is my other co-host, Terri, who went with the blue-and-yellow contrast. I also love her pendant, which has the graphic quality of the posters:

Next is Reni, who also chose to interpret the posters in a color-blocked outfit. Isn’t her vest super cool or what?

Michelle went with the “cooler” poster – check out the crocheted flowers on her pants!

Sally also chose the “cooler” poster, but she interpreted it as a gradation of colors, topped with a colorful scarf:

Marsha went a bit more off-piste, taking inspiration from London (and the London Underground) as a whole rather than the posters themselves, but her outfit is lovely too:

Suzy paired her summer dress with a blue top to mimic the colors of both posters, and I have to include the shots of her dog and cat because how cute are they?

Mike also incorporated both posters in his outfit, with a plaid shirt as a nod to the block pattern:

We also have an Instagram participant, bu_terka, who put together not one, but two outfits inspired by both posters:

And finally, here’s me:

Big thanks to everybody for participating this week, and don’t forget to come back next week for a new inspiration, courtesy of Terri!
