Okay, I never looked at it that way before. But really, what would you think if you ran into those models in… real life?
It’s Facial Appropriation!
The Spring Collection? So this was last Fall?
You wouldn’t though - that’s the haute couture collection - which is to say it’s art - for arts sake. The art of the designs influence and shape everything else - but that’s the ‘art only’ version of the designers work.
If you are looking for practical try this (from the same designer):
Asking for the artistic fashion to be reasonable is like asking why a Bugatti Veyron costs 2.5 million and can’t be driven to a tenth of it’s ability on a public road.
Just need to find a nice sari for spring and find a curator of faces from Heavy Metal, and I’m in some kind of business! Roll for wisdom, fashion week! (Article is Sept., relevance is present.)
Now -there’s- a Conde-Nast site that requires a cloudfront (and/or a stack of print) to see more than one image. Holding out for LoudCrunt, CNauthThrunt, something a little more bespoke.
“Asking for the artistic fashion to be reasonable is like asking why a Bugatti Veyron costs 2.5 million and can’t be driven to a tenth of it’s ability on a public road.”
So, so, so much this. I could wax on and on (and likely will) about how much I agree with your statement, the subtlies, the art, but instead I will leave a single pillar.
I agree.
