MFA

Oh, Hey People. Today was FRICKING awesome... My Fashion Illustration class had a private showing at the MFA in Boston. We saw a wide range of archives of ORIGINAL Illustrations from Givenchy to YSL (I was totally inspired and someday i'll post a blog of my own Illustrations) We went to a room that displayed Textiles that were bought or donated to the museum, one in particular was a gown that I loved from the Dolce and Gabbana, SpringRTW, 2008... there is a story that goes along with how they got the dress which is actually entertaining, but I will keep it to myself and save it for a rainy day. Another gown on display was a Dior gown waaaaaay back when he had just released 'The New Look' and it was still in pretty good shape. surprisingly.

...Afterwards we went to the Hollywood Glamour Exhibit, where they showcase amazing gowns worn from the goddesses of the silverscreen. I'll keep this post short, and you can watch a video I made with all of the photos I captured today.

Oh, Hey Audrey!

Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2010

Hello Fashion Dolls,

I have been currently busy with school and flat patterns and making bodices and sketching and... I can go on for days! I am currently doing research on Alexander McQueen and Iris Van Herpen and just watching past awesome fashion shows.. My collection theme for Monday's basic drawing class is African Safari in the North Pole meets Cirque Du Soliel  . We have to create lingerie or evening and bridal wear that has camouflage and animal prints. It's fucking insane and out of the box but I will def rock it! 
I picked Alexander McQueen and Iris Van Herpen to gather ideas from because I am absolutely inspired by their fashion shows. Undoubtedly risky, they both are, yet still uncovers function in fashion that is wearable in most cases and exhibits confidence and vulnerability. Simple. Clean. Direct. With IFY models.
