This is one brilliant thread. It makes me appreciate modern designers a lot more when you see the delicate, fine work they put on each garment.

hello titania! Thank you for the new posts, I knew you would come
I like the fabrics of the first dress the most...I think they look like they are glowing. They seem like discs surrounded with cotton hairs...

 

[titania]

You know me too well, gius! I love Maticevski... Toni is a genius.

All the photos in this thread are truly wonderful but it's great to see these pieces in real life because the details are indescribable!

Some more Maticevski (unfortunately, I can't find detailed shots of these particular ones!).

those junya w pieces are absolutely-positively genious

^Agree about the Watanabe details.
How they manage those details around the neck/collar is baffling.!

The Felipe Oliveira Baptista pieces are amazing.
They look like little origami dresses so beautiful.

wow! this is my first time to this thread....and i can't believe what i've been missing out on!

thanks to everyone for their contributions. i am going to go back and start from the beginning of the thread, but for now i'll say the recent posts from titania (maticevski), Marvystone (baptista), and ChrissyM (rhodes) are awesome! i these sculptural, geometric details in baptista's and rhodes' pieces. and...can you imagine how the maticevski dresses move in reality?
