Re: Vionnet in Miniature
AWESOME! I redid one of her dresses over the summer, a deceptively simple handkerchief dress, A very educational undertaking and a magnificent study of one the maestro's of architectural fashion design!
posted: 3:45 pm on December 28thShe designed all her dresses in half-size, on a child sized but adult bodied mannequin made just for her. It looked like a very useful tool. Big enough to give a feel for fabric and drape, but small enough to really got a mock-up going and move and pin and drape.
I suggest the exercise of redoing one of her dresses etc to all you fabulous fashion sewers.
P.S. the finished product sits on you like a dream of liquid silk... She was a genius!
Re: Mixing Politics and Fashion
I made this fun Obama skirt A line with the HUGE rising sun logo appliqued on the side. It went from waist to hem so it curved and started to abstract itself. Was too fun to make, and I felt like I was getting the message "to the streets" without even having to say a word. Thats why these clothes were made, walking adverts, like a nike or other branded tee.
