She's wearing TWO pairs of fishnets. . . Relax, ladies.

Yes, this is censored o_O. And now the designer himself about this particular collection: "I was looking at different shapes throughout the eras, and I wanted to somehow demonstrate a change, and ultimately I would like to produce clothes with some kind of technology company... I think these are almost prototypes for the ideas for the future for me... The idea that something could also change [for an] occasion was very exciting to me, and I thought it would be amazing if in the future we'd be able to have clothing that could change form depending on the occasion."
|
If you focus on her face, does it not look like she's holding a plastic version of a Star Wars lightsaber?
Futuristic indeed, this designer is. (<--I did not just write that, I swear)

(Before anyone asks, I'll definitely do some research and find out who designed that dress.
And I do like the contrast with the negative space here.)

Brazilian model Caroline Trentini on Brazilian Vogue. (Note - it appears to say January, but is that really a winter outfit she's wearing? In Brazil, yes.)

Dutch model Rianne Ten Haken at Christian Lacroix Couture Spring 2005.
Apparently someone held on to that dress and gave it to Lacroix, who cut it a little lower, and there ya go! :^D |
A very modern form of transportation for its time.
These pictures are all from the March 1963 issue of Harper's Bazaar.

Look at how amazingly the fabric folds and falls and, most of all, flowssss...

Above right: A model in the French magazine L'Officiel, March 2008. That dress is by Lanvin, though I don't know if the other one modeled above is... Anyway, that is a very good picture taken at a very careful angel! These are clearly professionals. Officiel professionnelles...(something like that).
Wait a minute--what is she dreaming of? --
|
|
Ah yes - she must be dreaming about how she wants to get the top of her own dress lowered as well.
Quite risqué if you ask me, but we can already see the right way for it to be done, right here--and note how the sash wraps around her arms... How beautiful is that?!??
|
Wow... All right, thank you! :^D More soon...
|
>> Yes, More Soon! :^D <<
