Art imitates life and life imitates art. How often have you heard that? It only made sense for me recently, when I stumbled upon these striking images by Russian artist Liliya Hudyakova. Her series titled “1+1” comprises of photo sets that show the similarities between runway dresses and elements of nature. Although designed and photographed independent of each other, they’re visually similar. In fact, nature seems like the designers’ muse. Take a look for yourself to know what I’m talking about.
