A shambling series of interconnecting quadrangles which widely used now in fashion industry. . . 🕌 The Alhambra is at the very summit of perfection of Moorish art, as is the Parthenon of Greek art. We can find no work so fitted to illustrate a Grammar of Ornament as that in which every ornament contains a grammar within itself.” —Owen Jones, The Grammar of Ornament, 1856 . . . #alyaapparel #apparealya #londonblogger #malaysianblogger #fashionblogger #fashionblog #jumpsuit #playsuit #coldshoulderplaysuit #onepiecesuit #missguided #gladiatorshoes #galdiatorheels #alexanderwang #alhambra #granada #spain #europe (at Palais nasrides de l'Alhambra)
