Invisible
This Blue Planet episode of “the deep” is pretty beautiful, I love watching planet earth and deep ocean documentaries. Its available for immediate view on Netflix. I wonder how these creatures can be used for inspiration clothing wise… It explores fish way below the oceans’ surface where there is NO sunlight so everything is black. All these creatures are REAL which is surprising because they look like space aliens or animals from the future. Most of the fish are transparent and really beautiful..in a creepy way of course. They all have these weird LED lights streaming from their bodies, there was one creature that actually had LED antennas stuck onto their heads, like a cellphone or something. The narrator says that survival in the deep ocean is all about seeing but not being seen which means that they need to see their prey in order to eat and survive, but they also need to remain invisible in front of their enemies, I thought it was kind of interesting..”seeing but not being seen” reminds me of the internet world. Do watch it if you have time!

If you haven’t already you must check out the Planet Earth DVD’s. There’s even a deep sea chapter. Simply amazing.
I love your blog! You are so resourceful and know a lot about both fashion and cooking! How did you learn all this information and what would you recommend I do in order to learn more about fashion?
Planet Earth on bluray is just freaking amazing!!!!
the first creature actually reminded me of your chanel shoes – the ones with the light bulb. wonder how their bodies have evolved…just amazing
Deep sea fish are amazing. You should watch the ones about the caves too. Lots of see through creatures and lots of beautiful crystals.

Perhaps its just my love for all things transparent but i find that is one of the main reason i love jellyfish and deep sea creatures.
nature is so stunning. it’s hard to believe these things are real sometimes.

Oh my god carl thank you so much, this is seriously SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!!!
this is actually my favorite episode out of the blue planet series. it is one of the few series that i could watch constantly and never tire of. for me, the ocean truly is the most inspiring part of this planet!
god i love ocean documentaries, esp when they go into the deep sea. i daydream about one day becoming a professiional underwater photographer, haha.
My favourite documentary ever, by far! I have seen it at least 10 times. I am in love with David Attenborough’s voice “Come into my mouth… little fishy! The images are mind-blowing
so freaky beautifull… love them!
thnkx again!!!!
i LOVE planet earth. While I loved the segment on Deep Oceans, Caves remain a favorite.
the deep sea is another world. i love those documentaries, Lechuguilla Cave in the Caves documentary is just so ethereal, it would be a beautiful source of inspiration
I LOVE ALL THE BLUE PLANET MOVIES!!! IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THEM ALL, I also love open ocean and frozen seas and cold vents. Some of my favorite films right up there with The Children of Noisy Village
Oh my goodness. Deep-sea biology is one of the most amazing fields ever, and one filled with so many questions, so much mystery. It looks so foreign but it’s a part of our own world, this little blue ball that spins round the depths of space; it’s one of the few places humans can’t access directly, since the pressures are too great; all we can do is get these tiny snippets from robots we design going down there.
I would *love* to see what sort of design ideas you get from these.
