PeSuit and Tie

in the ocean of scrolls, i dove deep into the profile of  squid , an artist that dresses like fish . i was enamored by the number of layers and color are styled, and each one kind of works, in a fun strange way. squid describes how each layer and color plays into a colorful or tropical fish anatomy, almost biologically accurate. below are some examples of how squid dresses like fish: amanda's flasher wrasse galaxy koi betta this is the first video i discovered blue star leopard wrasse reminds me of a grace jones look harlequin filefish rainbow sea slug rainbow trout naturally, i got inspired to try and do a hypothetical styling based on fish. i only know one type of fish, which is a blue betta fish , and that's because sib and i owned one a couple years ago, called swimothy  (rest in peace) a fully blue base, with a flowy blouse underneath this asymmetrical helmut lang dress. possible extra layering added with a blue floral skirt with a bit of frill at the hem. denim purse wit...
