st. martins-I went there briefly-theatre costume design-and they didn't look this good!

This last piece is SOOOOOOOOOOO wearble.. I see resemblance of OWN... YUMMY....

Although most of the pieces are not wearable.. I can see where they are pushing for the details which will ultimately influence their thinking, concept and design when the student get out to the real world!

Cudos to them!

thank you so much for bringing this up strawbutterb...

and thanks for all the great pics...they're wonderful...

travolta · 12-01-2005

no problem-this site is my guilty pleasure!

**Scott** · 12-01-2005

Yeah,this was last year's collections. I love seeing the early stuff....so much imagination!

I adore every single one of these collections!

Strawbutter,thanks for this

I think you're right..we talk so much about Belgian designers but rarely do we talk much about the student's work.

...makes me want to be a designer

**Meg** · 12-01-2005

Wow, some of those are amazing!!!! I especially love the 1st years work with shapes and the first couple of collections by the second years. Truly truly amazing. I wish these were available for purchase. I love the way that 'porceline' masks almost extend the height of the models. v. cool.

WOW!!!..

I think its just proof of how serious that school is at churning out the best and most immaculate talents in the world. Indeed,you never see this kind of work from any other school's early courses. It's really amazing what they've already done....and what they're continuing to do.

strawbutterb, thanks for bringing this to our attention. amazing!

enak · 13-01-2005

I still can't believe some of this is first years work, just amazing.

i dont think i could wear any of that

softgrey · 13-01-2005

vg...when you're at school, you don't have to design clothes for people to wear...you can design just for the sake of design...that's the beauty of it...

creative freedom...

after school you have to always worry about the business side of things...and if it will sell...

that's what's so great about being in school...and if you're lucky...you get to be around other people as creative as you are...looks like there's quite a lot of talent there...

maybe that's the difference...european designers go to school and really study fashion...and design...americans aren't so serioius about the design...they are more focused on the business side of it...and will it sell...

i wish more people on this side of the ocean paid attention to design...
beautiful things make life so much more pleasant... the arts are so valuable to society... i feel like we don't pay enough attention to the arts in the US...

art feeds the soul...
