^Well, you can't plagiarize yourself...

^^ Poor boy


John Galliano's first design for Margiela... now I have 0 interest

 

[Littleathquakes]

LOL oh JG, when he's not outlandish he's repetitive.

 

[eizhowa]

I realize the dress is not groundbreaking in any shape or form, but the black dress is more modern than the white. A large part of designing is the abilty to take any piece and making it better than it was before.

I think the pressure on Designers to "invent the wheel" every season is insane.

 

[Littleathquakes]

I think most of us understand that, and I believe we're all doing this tongue in cheek. Lord knows the majority of us couldn't be as groundbreaking as JG even if we tried, and especially nowadays with fashion design being a much more sought after career than ever thanks to the internet and Project Runway.

 

[eizhowa]

^Ha, Project Runway made me realize that I would never want to be a designer. Watching it made the creative part of my brain hurt

Thanks for your reply

I completely agree. In fact, Galliano often referenced his earlier works during the height of his tenure at Dior, and I do not ever recall it being much of a problem. I just swore Anna's dress was vintage Galliano, until it was mentioned that it was Galliano for Margiela. And that's why, I suppose.

the up close beadwork on that Versace Atelier piece is amazing. The gold insert had me doing double takes cause it started to look 3D, especially at the top near her back.

To be fair, that kind of metallic fabric is a BM classic, they've done it in years.

Am I the only one that found it funny that the Ziad Nakad designer rhymes with Zuhair Murad.

he's done it before, see post #5 in this thread. I think he likes that whole black tight top with poofy skirt bottom. Although I kinda don't really see it in this Natalie Portman look. the essence is def there, but I think the two don't really resemble each other much, other than them being the aforementioned description. It's like saying two cars look the same because they have doors, tires and a roof.

Pretty sure the McQueen dress was inspired by the stuff you find at the beach at low tide. Rather original if you ask me
