Looking Back At WOW
Victoria’s, A look back: Designers’ Day 2017 details surely one of the highlights of the World of WearableArt Awards Show, the annual Designers’ Day program.
Month: November 2017
Welcoming In A Very Latex-y New Year
he ubiquitous hunky fireman’s calendar might just get beat in 2018 for one featuring latex models. When one considers what German couple Sarathustra and blende666 are presently unleashing to the world, we all might want to take a step back and consider what’s really cool. Once again the creative couple based in Bochum German,y have managed to present the year ahead in startling sexy display, this year with models wearing that textile art we are all most familiar with and love. Their “YourFeitshYear 2018” is a scrumptious and certainly alternative take on The New Year ahead.
The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story
We have certainly seen our share of latex costuming, wildly horrific images and incredible star turns on the various seasons of FX’s American Horror Story. American Crime Story (sharing two of AHS’s producers and both appearing on the same network) just revealed a trailer for the 2nd season of its true crime anthology series. The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story is a 10-episode look into the 1997 killing of the fashion giant by serial killer Andrew Cunanan.
Minaj À Trois Breaks The Internet
Seeing that Kim Kardashian didn’t break anything on her own cover of this same magazine three years ago, Nicki Minaj will probably not break anything either. But boy is the lady always upping the ante on what she might do and how she comes to wear latex and other alternate fashions to pretty much make our day.
Stove Top, Rita Ora and The Warriors of Themyscira Provide Fun Fashion Fodder
Moschino finally released their transparent garment bag “Cape Sheer Overlay Dress” to the retail market this week. The plastic dry-cleaner’s bag is part of the ‘trash-collection’ the designer debut at Fall 2017 Milan Fashion Week. The clear full length gown is selling for $900.00, while a mini version sells for $600.00.
Cocktails for Conservation
Now Fashion for Conservation will be bringing designs from the show (including some of our pieces) to Seattle’s Axis Pioneer Square (located at 308 1st Ave S., Seattle, WA 98104) for a cocktail fashion event, once again, fighting for conservation.
Style At The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards
With next year’s Met Gala theme just officially confirmed, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” it’s is obvious these celebrity fashion events, competitions, fashion shows and galas, all look to make significant contributions. The influence and expose the fashion world, as they do culture on a grand scale, with everyone watching, posting and posing. It’s just heartening to keep seeing alternative wardrobe styling, albeit only a few really standing out at this year’s CFDA, making their mark.
A Pratt Tribute
To see our wardrobe pieces adorn the likes of Katy Perry or featured in magazines throughout the world, is also an honor and thrill. And then just to hang out with our fellow fashion fashionistas, as much admiring their work as being complimented on ours, rewards us in ways we can’t describe. But to be recognized recently by the school we learned so much of our craft in, as we just were in this Pratt Institute News piece, puts an icing on the cake that we have been hard baking the past few months.
Heidi Klum Thrills For Halloween
Once again though celebrities seemingly out did us all…or just got lots of press and Instagram pictures over what they wore. Kim Kardashian managed to pull off a spot-on Cher, and daytime talk show host Wendy Williams dressed as the Statue of Liberty (and fainted live on her show overcome by the heat of the costume). But Heidi Klum out-celeb-ed her fellows, as she seems to do every year, in a perfect recreation of an iconic get-up.
