WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE 2010 FALL/WINTER RUNWAY SHOW AND WHY?
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!:))
My favorite fashion show was the Argyle Sweater fashion show by Russell Simmons. It was my favorite for a few reasons. First I love argyle clothing. It's realy sophisticated and I love sophisticated looks. Second the creativity of how he brought the fashion show to life, not only with the male models on the runway but with the background. To explain in more detail, Russell Simmons had previously made short videos of the dress up process of each male model. The video started off with th male model in boxers and then they would dress up in jeans, shirts and of course their own argyle sweater. Behind each make model was a green screen and on that screen there were sceneries from different trademark places in New York. This was done to give the impression that each male model was actually dressing on the streets of New York City. When a particular model came onto the screen, that same model was walking on the runway modeling the clothes that he was wearing in the video. This i found amazing and very innovative. With that being said, this was my favorite fashion show.
ReplyDeleteClothing should tell a story and the clothes should speak for themselves. Galliano accomplishes this just when one could tell what the inspiration was behind his equestrian themed fall 2010 collection was just by looking at the clothing. The direction of his line was pretty clear especially with his ability to recreate the outfits of horseback riders with an edge. This equestrian themed fashion show also depicts a high fashioned eighteenth century motif with the opening of the show. In the opening, the backdrop is an ancestral door with flashing lights. The setting takes the viewers back to the eighteenth century. Also, the door in the background with the dimmed lighting is like the models are standing in front of a building in that time period. The opening outfit with the model in brown leather coat over a pink ruffled chiffon dress with a top hat and brown knee high boots is also a narrative of the direction that John Galliano chooses. I would think that any designer trying to use the equestrian theme would have used the basic haystack, horses, and accessories like a riding crop. Yet, Galliano captures the sophisticated and subtle aspect of horse back riding and the upper class society that it played a great role in. He also uses the materials of a regular equestrian outfit and creates masterpieces like his leather dress and jackets. There were also knitted and plaid pieces. As for the music, there is a varied collection of songs that is blended together well. The music starts with Tim Burton’s sleepy hollow and ends with hits like Alicia Key’s song No One. Although, this collection was modernized, a lot of his outfits were comprised of thigh-high boot, hacking jackets with jodhpurs, baker boy caps, and top hats. The collection not only displays the masculinity of horse back riding but also a feminine side revealed through many of the dresses with ruffles and frills. What stands out in this collection is the knitwear, especially his captivating knitted dress, which is quite a contribution to fashion instead of using the basic knitted accessories.
