One of my nitpicky things about the Saltburn costuming is Rosamund Pike’s character wearing two Valentino couture dresses from the fall 2018 collection. The movie is set in 2006, that took me completely out of the movie.

There’s this mother daughter duo on TikTok and the mom is so fab. She has a great archive of Chanel (some of it dates back to Karl’s early days at the house), Ungaro, and even some Versace (both by Gianni and Donatella). I love a glamorous older woman with an ARCHIVE!!!!

Over the past few years John Galliano seems to be referencing his own work done in his very early career in the 80’s and I love that. Watching a Galliano’s collection is always like receiving a history lesson.

RIP Roberto Cavalli! The man never saw an animal print he didn’t love. He could make a woman’s body look sculpted by the gods. He knew how to make sexy and decadent clothing, but most of all he really LOVED his woman. The world got a lot less sexy when he retired.

Unpopular opinion: there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a man wearing a “boring”, tailored, well made, well styled suit on the red carpet. There’s actually a lot of skill that goes into the creation and styling of these suits and you all should learn to appreciate simplicity.

I think Halston is just as important to American fashion as Cristobal Balenciaga or Dior is to French fashion. Halston and Bonnie Cashin are the two most important American designers of the 20th century.
Just found out my favorite Carrie look of all time is in the FIT Museum — this camel-colored Halston ultrasuede shirtwaist dress from 1972, irresistible

The same Karl Largerfeld that at one point worked as a freelance designer for Valentino Garavani. Karl and Valentino were friends and admirers of each other’s work. If you all are still going to make up narratives make them believable.
As if I didn't already love Pedro Pascal but his big FU to Karl Lagerfeld is the chef's kiss.

No it’s actually printed first. There’s this documentary Issey did in 2002 and they were discussing the Lithuanian Olympic uniforms. So what they do is map out the pattern and blow it up and stretch it so that it will be the correct proportion when completed.
I need to know if issey miyake prints and then pleats the fabric or first pleats and then prints on the pleated fabric.

The thing about Alexander Wang is his voice in fashion isn’t necessary. What he’s always done is repackage already existing cool ideas to the masses that usually don’t know where the idea has come from. Has he had good work? Yes, but the formula is always the same.

Thinking about Diane Kruger at the 2004 Met Gala wearing Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière. So simple yet so effective. The scarf that almost looks like a cape. The beautiful bronzey champagne bias cut silk. The messy hair that gives it a more relaxed feel. THE NECKLACE! Fabulous!

Couture is a way of making clothes not a set aesthetic. So a simple black dress can be couture and a spectacular ball gown can be ready to wear. So saying something doesn’t “look” couture just because it looks simple doesn’t really make sense.

@thedollxayla You cannot make a garment like that with that level of quality without some sort of base. I feel as if a lot of people are thinking of old 19th century corsetry. Ultimately it’s like building a house without a strong foundation. Possible, but won’t bode well.
