The Fashion Design Thread

Sorry to spoil the glamour, but British designer Alexander McQueen is completely barking mad. I can imagine you ladies going shopping in this outfit!





Nice shoes to match



Mmmmm!



A very practical little number! Ideal for Hockey Aemms!

LMAO! Sure Treffie! Could you imagine?!!

But awesome examples though Tref of the sheer creativity of our folk that is out there, whether totally outlandish or a bit more staid.

I love the pics you chose! Truly creative genius. Not practical mind you, but genius nonetheless.

Cheers and thanks for the post Treffie!...Aemms

You two are so talented!

The most I've even managed it just a plain knitted scarf and I was so proud of myself when I finished!

Oh you can knit? Awesome It's great so now I can go out bowling and do stuff I like and you can stay at home with your lady friends and cook, clean and knit and do other fun stuff women enjoy

[Solwyn]

Come, come now, I wear those shoes whenever I go grocery shopping. Nothing more comfortable than them, LOL!!!! Couture fashion shows are just like beauty trade shows - a place for designers to showcase what they can do creatively, but what actually trickles down to the masses is more practical, THANK GOD. I don't think I could ever leave the house in any of those outfits, not even if I was paid to do so.

The designer is gay, it's no wonder he wants women to look like that, less competition. lol

Elbows should not be wider than your arm. Equally am I the only person who thinks that fashion is stupid?

I've never been one for 'high fashion'.
It's stupid to starve yourself so you can show off some silly clothing like this.

I love food too much. When I see these women I can't help but want to feed them.

No, I think it's superficial and just plain silly, but it's such a serious business.

If I ever dressed haute couture I'd probably go for something like this Vivienne Westwood line:



But you know what? Even if my paycheck quadrupled, I'd still feel awkward about spending ridiculous amounts of money for designer clothes.

I'd probably buy a couple of items for special occasions but the basics in my wardrobe would still come from Zara and H&M. You can dress chic on a budget.

P.S. I'm also a mix&match kind of dresser, I don't like looking like I'm advertising a certain look/designer. I also keep my own style no matter what, I don't generally follow fashion trends.

Actually popular fashion is the perfect tool to take your money. My mother for example - she can't imagine going out wearing something which is "old fashioned" (from the last year, for instance).

But high fashion is still an art.

That's exactly what it is - an art!

Hence most of the catwalk clothes are unwearable. I frequently watch the Fashion TV to kill some time, and I find catwalks really entertaining and aesthetically pleasing -sort of like watching ice skating

But even if I had the model figure, I still would not wear 90% of the clothes fashioned there. They simply seem to be made for fashion exhibitions but not wearing.

Where on earth would someone wear that?



Or that?



Of course they are meticulous works of art but they're just for the fashion shows.

My stepmother, by the way, works as editor-in-chief for the greek version of L'Officiel. Hence she gets to wear some really cool stuff, that she wouldn't be able to afford if they weren't discounted for her
